If you are like me, the last few days of a year provide you with lists and lists to devour. A chance to see what I’ve missed and measure my own taste against that of an “expert,” give me a coffee and an end of the year “top ___ ___s…
Perspectives (One Month After Everything Changed)
Here we are: one month from when I first went into labor. (If you missed Quincy’s introduction that Brad posted, check it out here). There are times I’ve held Quincy and said out loud to myself, “I have a baby! This baby is mine!”, because I still can’t believe it.…
What is Your Granola Grade?
I love granola. Toss it in some yogurt with some fresh fruit, or press it into a bar-shape for on-the-go-goodness. Tasty, nutritious, and sometimes heavy on the sugar content, it’s delicious. The H-G Household especially likes the Meijer Brand, Bountiful Morning, – cheap, great flavor, and awesome. World’s Greatest Cheap Granola…
My Motherhood Tool Belt
Apparently, Sears doesn’t sell a Motherhood Tool Belt. And everyone has heard the joke that children don’t come with instruction manuals. That’s why I felt inspired to write this little diddy and share a few tools I would put in my Motherhood Tool Belt in hopes that Sears might read this blog…

Okay boys and girls, today’s topic might not be something that everyone out there wants to discuss. Don’t worry, I always make sure any posts are appropriate for guys, gals, younger, older, ones with gold stars or in new cars… I just wanted to say this topic might not be…
Teasing Teeth
I don’t know about all of you out there, but I hate Teeth Stuff. They’re great for chewing, and filling up a smile, but when something goes wrong, it’s the pits. I’ve had my share of crummy experiences with teeth – cavities, then fillings, braces (and their accessories), teeth being…
I’ll Trade Ya For It!
It appears that the Green Eyed Monster is ever present these days, lurking under the bed as I read parenting books, staring at me while I stalk people on the various social media outlets, and haunting my interrupted dreams at night. There are so many things out there that plague…
First Tastes: Food for Baby, Food for Thought
Instead of buying jarred baby food, I thought I’d give making my own baby food a try. Pictured above is some of my “finished product” of baby food – steamed, pureed, frozen in cubes, and then stored in freezer bags. It’s recommended for babies to start solids between 4-6 months…
