I want to ask my husband for a large stock pot for Christmas. About 75% of my current cookware is Le Creuset pieces and I positively love them EXCEPT my Le Creuset Stock Pot. I don't use it often but when I do it's mainly for boiling noodles (That works fine), making a pot of chili, making chicken soup or making applesauce. Every time I make chili ( Read more... )

pediatricians?

lorienellen wrote in naturalfamily Oct 04, 2011 15:31

I'm due in March with my first baby and am still doing lots and lots of learning. When would be the best time to interview pediatricians? I'm only about 17 weeks right now, so I'm assuming it's a little soon. Do you find that your child is more comfortable with a provider of the same gender, or has that not been a concern?

Steam cleaners

Any advice, I really don't like cleaning with any chemicals at all but my carpets get gross if I don't ( Read more... )

I am not currently pregnant but hope to be in the next year or so. With my last pregnancy I started taking my prenatals before I got pregnant so I would be used to them, and would have my reserve of folic acid built up. The specific vitamin I took last time gave me a number of side effects, nausea, sleep problems, etc ( Read more... )

VBAC in Vancouver WA/Portland OR

So we just moved to Vancouver, WA (that's right across the river from Portland, OR) and happily discovered that I am pregnant with baby number three.

Long story short, my first was an all-natural labor from hell and the second was an emergency c-section that was even worse. I am SO not going through that again if I can possibly avoid it, so ( Read more... )

purerandomness wrote in naturalfamily Aug 10, 2011 08:59

My family and I are making the big move from Michigan to the Albany region at the end of the month. We have two small boys (2 years and 4 months), so I'm looking for recommendations on pediatricians/family doctors as well as dentists. We are going to have insurance through the Schenectady public school system, but I'm not exactly sure what the ( Read more... )

bitsofbeauty wrote in naturalfamily Jul 18, 2011 19:08

I'm looking for a safe carseat for my 5.5 month old (20 lbs). Something that doesn't smell too chemically or of fire retardants. Anything out there with natural fabrics? Or am I basically going to have to go mainstream on this ( Read more... )
