Sometimes I just want to go back to bed. Other times, I don’t.
Maya (4) hasn’t been herself this past week. Discipline and behavior issues have been very frustrating and wearing on my already thin patience. I’m extremely tired, getting over another nasty upper respiratory thing, and trying my hardest just to be civil. I just don’t know [...]

Sleep is really important. We spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping, more when we’re little. So the place we sleep–it needs to be safe, healthy, and clean. For us, that means no synthetic anything, and no flame retardants. Even if you cannot afford organic food or a decent water filter, I submit that having a [...]

5 Minutes for Mom is having a contest–and the prize is a gorgeous tutu for your little ballerina, courtesy of Tutu Fantasy!
My only concern if I win? How to split the tutu between two darling ballerinas.

ETA: Also check out my new header, which I took right here at Cedar, too. Even the rocks are pretty here!

Good Lord’s Day to you, friends! Our students have arrived safely up here at Cedar Campus, and it is great to have them here.
A quick update–as I type this, our little baby is kicking around inside me, and I can feel it! It’s been going on for a few minutes. This is the first sustained [...]

I just came out of the girls’ room in our little cabin. I was beckoned there by Maya’s loud exclamation:
[suspicious thud]
“El-luh-REE! Are you okay? MOMMY! Mommy…MOMMY!”
It appears that our second born daughter had climbed out of her crib and fallen to the ground. This was much, much less traumatic than when Maya did the [...]

We just returned from a fun, impromptu trip to Mackinac Island–our first time overnight! (Off-season rates are great!) As I put the girls to bed this evening, I asked Maya (4), “What was your favorite thing about Mackinac Island this year?” Without a moment’s hesitation, she replied, “The muffin joke.”
I though, hard, for a minute. [...]

Boy, have I got a story for you.
(Wherein I use lots of italics for emphasis and try very, very hard not to give in to hyperbole. It was just that bad.)
Fact #1: I have a sensitive nose.
Fact #2: I am pregnant. My sense of smell is even more acute when I am gestating.
Fact #3: I [...]

I forgot a couple of things in my last update. These are actually from my last midwife appointment at 12 weeks:
As of my 12 week appointment, I’ve lost six pounds since pre-pregnancy. It surprised me, because while I was sick, I was eating a lot of small, frequent meals to make up for it. Plus, [...]

Bits and pieces:
I realized today that my “morning” sickness is all but gone. Proof positive: I have been eating a large salad every night for dinner since arriving at Cedar. Wow!
Moms of three or more have told me that third and subsequent pregnancies pop out even faster than the second–and they’re right! I’ve been wearing [...]
