Counting Blessings

The past year (since mid-way in Gretchens pregnancy) Ive really been more keenly aware of Gods day-to-day blessings. Not for a major life-changing reason (we werent miraculously saved from a life-thr...

Societal Conventions, Single Mothers, and Old Age

Societal conventions are weird. And its even more bizarre and confusing when they change constantly in our modern society, as tradition is disdained or new conventions are put in place.Im not an Emil...

Gretchens birth story

I should be sleeping because its before 6:00 a.m. and my baby is passed out in the crib next to me, but the biological need for food is competing with my biological need for sleep, and the lure of th...

Budget Tips for Newlyweds

I was pondering recently about the novelty of setting up a budget when we first got married (It's been over 2 years - hard to believe!), as I was talking with my sister, who has 2 close friends marry...

Dockers Ad

I'm really, really, really, really sick of hearing about the Dockers' ad. Seriously. Bleh. As a complementarian, I think they have some good points. But in all honesty, I think they were just trying ...

Hans' first snow (sort of)

Hans didn't care about snow last winter. He did drool over it, but he drooled over *everything*, since he was teething, so I'd hardly consider that proof of his interest. So I consider yesterday's sn...

My son failed!

Hans failed Sermon Analogies 101, apparently. Sheesh. We need to train that kid!I *finally* got his new carseat installed. Carrying around a 9 month boy in an infant carrier seat was getting heavy. O...

Hans has a new friend. . .

I stumbled upon a crochet and knit book that I bought years ago at a used book sale. Most of the patterns in it were clothing, but in the back they had some fun figures to make for play toys. I need ...

Glad he finds it funny. . .

When Hans was an itty bitty newborn he HATED hiccups, and they often woke him up or prevented him from falling asleep. But I guess he's gotten over his dislike for them. Yesterday morning he had them...

A rather unique bread recipe. . .

So. . . as I mentioned before, I'm on this weird agonizing 4-week+ diet to try to figure out where I got a skin rash. So my naturopath doctor put me on both a non-mucus forming diet AND a candida-con...

A friend from church, who is a certified nurse midwife, sent this link on to her friends. It's a very comprehensive, nation-wide birth survey that's being compiled. I'd already completed it shortly a...

Breakfast Conversation

Me: Do you think we should be concerned that Hans is having a conversation with a shoelace?Adrian: Nah. It's just his current version of a teddy bear.

Homemade Scouring Powder

I really abhore Ajax and Comet :-P. All that nasty blue-ish residue they leave is icky. I've read a lot of people on the blogosphere who suggested baking soda as a scouring alternative. I tried it an...

What Math Nerds do on Valentine's Day

I always knew Adrian was that right guy for me :-). He was in thought yesterday pondering various ways to prove that [sin(theta)]^2 + [cos(theta)]^2 = 1, and he commented that it would be an extremel...

What is a wok good for?

I love Picasa! and new photo blog

Seriously, I can't believe it's free. It's such a great, easy to use photo editing program. And it's incredibly easy to e-mail or blog pictures. I started a separate blog just for posting pictures. C...

Photos and YouTube

My mom downloaded Picasa for me and showed me how to use it to make basic photo edits. One definite advantage is that it's much easier to post pictures to Blogger now! Also, here are two recent YouTu...
