I'm Still Here!
Wow, I never really go on LJ anymore, do I? I think between HuffPo and FaceBook and email groups with local moms and all the other writing I do regularly now I just don't have anything left for LJ, at least not anything that any of you can read on FB.

Already Taking Care of His Mama
Every night when I run his bath, Gabriel comes in and puts all his bath toys into the tub. So this morning I brought him into the bathroom with me when I went to take a shower, and he put his toys into the tub for me. He's such a little sweetheart! -

Holy Cow!
Thanks to Knottie Rachel, I now have 25-pounds of freshly butchered cow in my freezer.
After reading the book The Omnivore's Dilemma recently, she decided to start eating only locally-grown, grass-fed, all-natural beef. She invited all NY-area meat-eaters to join her in a "cow pool" where we'd each commit to part of a cow in 25-lb increments. ( Read more... )
