2013 Re-Cap like
So like the lovely Make_your_move I am striving to post more this year. Both here in long form and on Facebook. (One of the things I learned about life from Burning Man is that you can only thrive in the community if you help create it.)She posted this Q&A meme that seems like a good starting point for someone who hasn't posted much/any in the last ( Read more... ) -
fuck 2013
It is a new year. And as seems to be my usual I find myself reflecting on a year that was more down than up. A year where I again found myself mistaking happy for manic, just because I forgot what it feels like. And then this week I remembered, was reminded, that the soul must be fed. And that my soul does not thrive on light alone. I need the ( Read more... ) -

One Year!
My son turned one today. 365 days of milky goodness. It wasn't always easy. He was very early and rather small and is still at the very bottom of the growth chart. But we persevere.

Out and About
So yesterday there was much running about. First we headed west, a little late, to help lilwolfgirl move.

Well they dried...
Finally around 2 the sun came out and the diapers dried. Yea! This brings to light a real problem of the feasibility of this. I am currently at home during the day so I could move things around to take advantage of the sunshine. If I was working full time this would not have worked as well and I might have ended the day with damp diapers still. So ( Read more... ) -
She's doing WHAT?!! WHY?!!
I'm washing GoatMuse's cloth diapers by hand, all week. Sounds crazy I know but I decided over the weekend to participate in the "2nd Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge". This is an event that was started last year by a blogger who was disturbed when she learned that there were people reusing their child's disposable diapers because they could ( Read more... ) -
And the rain crashed down
The first really great thunderstorm of the year just rolled in. I am watching it out the window with a napping baby on my lap. I should move him and fold the laundry but for now this is good and if he stays put he should sleep another hour. I love the sound of the downpour and the kitchen window is open so I can smell it. *sigh* -
Firstly about the cupcakes
I meant to take a picture really I did. But I forgot, and ate them. However I can tell you that with a four month old, making cupcakes is now epic. On Tuesday I bought supplies for the tasty goodness. But only got as far as doing dishes. Wednesday I cleaned the kitchen counters. Thursday I made the cupcakes. Friday I made the icing. Saturday I iced ( Read more... )
