About a year ago, in the Spring, Levi got the all-clear from his doctor to give dairy a try again. One of his first stops was to the local Walmart where they were blowing out leftover chocolate bunnies and he got himself four white chocolate bunnies. Insert barfy emoji here. Sorry Levi. White chocolate makes […]

Gluten Free Dill Pickle Soup
Pickles are kind of my weakness. I have two different fried pickle recipes on this blog already and have perfected a third in recent months. I’ll share that recipe later on. Today, let’s talk about soup, and pickles in the soup. Sounds weird right? It’s so good though. I found this recipe from The Noble […]
Wilcox’s Peanut Butter Cookies
Yes, the main photo for this recipe was not styled at all, taken on the floor surrounded by toys. Real life, yo. This recipe came from our close friend’s mother years and years ago. I tucked the recipe card into my recipe box and never touched it again. I imagine at least a decade has […]

Growing Out The Grey
Guess what? I am growing out my premature grey hair and going back to what my ‘natural’ is. I posted on my personal Instagram this recent decision I had made about my personal appearance a few days back and it occurred to me that it might make a fun little project to document here on the […]
Things I Love on Pinterest This Week
Here’s a glance at some of my Pinterest finds from this week. Cultured Food & Drink – I took a class recently about making homemade fizzy probiotic drinks like water kefir and kombucha.

{garden} Come On Spring!
My garden is going to be totally delayed. I’ve ordered seeds and they’re waiting patiently in their packets. The thing is, I won’t be able to plant until the last week of May now because it’s still too cold to start now and I’ll be away in the middle of the month. I suspect everyone in my neck of the woods will be planting late.
Getting Dirty: Chronicles of A Rookie Gardener
I go through phases of thinking I’d be a good gardener. I’m even sure I mentioned it here. This time though I have real motivation for it. The CSA program we were looking forward to buying into again this year has been cancelled. I nearly cried when I got the news. I loved our CSA […]

We use cloth diapers on Jonas almost exclusively. If you want to read more about how we cloth diaper and the various diapers we have used so far, you can check out this post.

#makeclothmainstream
When I first found out I was pregnant I had some pretty solid ideas about what I saw for myself as a parent, right down to how I diaper my baby. Cloth diapering was not one of the things I thought I would ever do. For a lot of reasons, mostly because, poop is yucky. […]
Lactaction Cookies to Boost Milk Supply
I wanted a cute title for this recipe but search engine optimization won out. And because I can’t let good brainstorming go to waste, I’m still going to tell you what I wanted to really name these cookies. “Baby Got Lac” Lactation Cookies I can’t even take credit for the name. Levi came up with that […]
