Just what does a SAHM to a young baby DO all day? Lot’s of time spent watching trashy daytime TV? Not this SAHM. I thought I’d give you a little glance into my life and what I’m doing with my time. I’d say this day is pretty typical for a weekday with T1.

12:00 AM
Sleeping soundly.

1:43 AM
Change diaper. Screaming baby.

2:15 am
I spent some time trying to feed him sitting on the bed, but he was being fussy so I started using …

Sometime during my pregnancy I discovered the world of daily discount sites offering up baby related gear and clothing, and I was hooked. Most of the items and clothing I’ve purchased for my little one have come from these sites.

Here is my guy in an organic onesie I purchased from one of the daily deals sites. I can’t afford to dress him in anything organic at full price. :)

Here are a few of my favorite daily deal sites:

Mama Bargains
Baby Steals
Green …

I attended a baby shower a few weeks ago where the hostess taught us a really fabulous way to make omelettes.

Grab a plastic sandwich bag and crack some eggs into it. Add whatever other omelette additions suit your fancy (bacon bits, tomato chunks, cheese, etc).

Once you have your ingredients assembled, shake the baggie right nice (like a polaroid picture if you will)

Then, drop the bag into a pot of boiling water.  Use tongs to life the bag out periodically to check doneness. …

I thought I would share a list of resources I found helpful during my pregnancy and while planning a natural home birth. I hope these help!

Blogs:
I subscribe to all of the natural-birth blogs I can find. Below are my favorites.

My Best Birth-Some of the writing in this sight can be a bit “meh”, but if you liked the multi-writer format of sites like Weddingbee you’ll probably enjoy the real woman perspective of this site with a variety of viewpoints. It’s …

In the weeks and days leading up to T1’s birth I spent a considerable amount of time imagining what the entire experience would be like. I chose home birth because of the control it afforded me. I dictated where I labored, how I labored, and who was present. I read something written by a midwife once detailing an old birth video she watched that showed a laboring mother baking a chocolate cake during labor. This oh-so-composed mommy popped the tins in the …

Recently I’ve been overwhelmed by baby shower offers,  which is an incredibly pleasant thing to be overwhelmed by if you ask me. However, as someone who didn’t really intend on having a shower (maybe an open house type after baby?) I haven’t given any thought at all to a registry. When a close friend brought up the idea once again I said yes and the planning began. I would have preferred to use alternate registry options, such as my personal …

Christmas is over and I’m finally settling back into my normal routine. I loved being home and spending time with my family, but by the end of my 10 day stay I just wanted to be in my own bed, with my fridge full of the food that makes up my regular diet, no longer needing to dig through my suitcase every time I needed something to wear. I’ve created a list of the gifts we received so thank you …

As Christmas approaches I’ve started to receive emails from readers who seem to mistakenly believe I am some kind of camera expert. :) I am most definitely not, although I do have some opinions regarding what cameras I think are the best bet for certain consumers. My recommendations for this post will all be Canon, as I think it’s a great brand and the one I’m most familiar with. I think Nikon has equivalents for each one of these, and …

Husband and I have a teeny tiny gift budget and so it’s important for me to get creative when Christmas rolls around. We narrowed down our list to the least amount of people I felt comfortable buying gifts for (there are few things worse than receiving a nice gift from someone you didn’t buy one for!), and I went to town coming up with ideas that wouldn’t break the bank. Here’s what I came up with. (And yes I take …
