Thank You, Daddy

Dear Kerry, Fatherhood has brought out the best in you as a person and a husband and made the bond of our marriage so much stronger. I’m so thankful for the love and devotion you give to Clara and the love and support you give to me. When she was in my tummy, I would …

Homemade Play-Doh and Pebbles

Julie — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 17:51:22 +0000

I recently took out some play-doh I received as a party favor to see what Clara would think about it. Sure enough, she ended up putting it in her mouth. It occurred to me, what the heck is in this stuff? Since all of the ingredients are not listed and it was made in China, …

Car Seat Safety 101

Julie — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 01:50:13 +0000

Every time you get behind the wheel, can you say your child is in the safest possible position and buckled in the seat properly? Would you bet his/her life on it? Have you read your car seat manual front to back and the owner’s manual to your car? Who does? Even if you had the …

If I Can Grow A Person, I Can Grow A Veggie

Julie — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 20:04:39 +0000

The jury is still out on this one, so I probably shouldn’t get ahead of myself. There are no veggies yet, but we started a square foot garden yesterday and planted seeds and a few transplants. Now it’s Water, Watch, and Wait. A Wish probably wouldn’t hurt either. I hate to admit that I’m somewhat …

Turkey Veggie Meatloaf: Deelishus Dish

Julie — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 18:03:53 +0000

When I was a kid, meatloaf sounded like eating garbage. I did.not.like.it. But I also didn’t like chocolate. Crazy kid I was. Anyway, I’m always trying to find yummy and healthy meals that the toddler will eat, the husband will scarf, the mom will feel good about, the freezer will freeze, and will work with …

To Be A Kid Again

Julie — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 00:20:52 +0000

Swimming in the pool, playing in the park, watching animals at the zoo, riding roller coasters, jumping on a trampoline, and discovering new sights, sounds, and smells are all magical when you’re a child. I remember feeling excitement and anticipation at the thought of these activities as a kid. We took Clara on her first …

Diastasis Recti Rehab: Week 3 to Week 4

Julie — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 19:39:55 +0000

I have been cracking up for the last half hour! In preparation for week 4, I watched the video to learn the new headlift exercises. Week 3 was pretty uneventful other than really feeling the burn in my transverse and lower back. But this week is going to take a lot of brainpower. As I …

Book Review: Baby-Led Weaning By Rapley and Murkett

Julie — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 21:13:04 +0000

Baby-Led Weaning: The Essential Guide to Introducing Solid Foods and Helping Your Baby to Grow Up a Happy and Confident Eater. I read this book when Clara was about 5 months old. I had heard so much mixed information on introducing solids and wanted to make an informed choice on how to do this with …

Diastasis Recti Rehab: Week 2 Conclusion

Julie — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:28:50 +0000

I am impatient. I want my diastasis to close NOW. I checked my diastasis this week and it is still 3 fingers wide. I told myself not to check it this early so as not to get discouraged. It’s probably too soon for there to be any noticeable change. But it was like thinking,”I’m not …
