Milk, It's What's Not For Dinner
Back in June, Ava had her One Year checkup. Everything looked good – weight, height, development, etc. Since she was now 12 months old, the doctor felt it was time to move her from her formula to whole milk. “Yippee!” I thought. No more expensive cans of formula, no more mixing up powder and hot water at 6 am, when I’m barely awake enough to find the kitchen, much less correctly guage the temperature of the water from the sink.
Off to the store I went, to purchase some organic whole milk for my baby girl. The doctor said we… Continue reading

Grandma is Coming To Town
I’m pretty excited this week. You see, my mother is coming to Oregon for a visit.
She lives in Mississippi, where I grew up, and lived for 23 of my 36 years. We’ve tried to keep her updated as much as we can on the growth and development of my offspring, but pictures can only say so much. My mother is not computer savvy, and cannot even turn one on, much less surf the internet, email, or any of that sort of thing. We did send her a VHS tape of two hours worth of video clips that we had… Continue reading
