Canned Tomatoes

Saturday Lucy and I went over to my cousin’s house for a visit. She has a beautiful vegetable garden that was exploding with all sorts of veggies, especially tomatoes.

The Power Outage

Lucy at her 4 month appointment Thank you all for your amazing responses to my last post about meal planning. I haven’t had a chance to respond to the comments yet, but I do plan on doing a follow up post very soon. I had planned on working on a Link Love post Thursday night [...]

In Which Baby Eliminates (part 3)

Here are part 1 and 2. It has been a while since I made a post about how the elimination communication was going for us. So much has changed, I thought now would be a good time to post. First things first. I really am so happy we decided to give this a try, it [...]
