 Okay, I’m not really. But I was interviewed for The Homeschool Co-op site. I’m really feeling like I want to start blogging more again. There is so much stuff I want to write down and remember and blog about and I don’t. I’m going to try to blog at least once a [...]

 Back in September, we had one of our hens go broody. I tried a few times to stop her but she was very insistent, so eventually I gave in and put a few eggs under her. I had read on Backyard Chickens that with a mother hen, chicks should be fine even at this [...]

 Years ago, before Meredith was born, one of the few things we really felt we needed was a car seat. We could do without a crib and stroller and most of the other “essentials”, but a car seat was definitely a necessity. I stumbled about the car-seat.org forums and was both fascinated [...]

 The other night we were sitting eating dinner, and Meredith pointed out that Kris’ taco looked like a triangle. We agreed it did and didn’t really think much of it, until she held up three fingers and said “That’s because it has three sides and three corners.” Such a seemingly small, obvious fact, but [...]

 I thought these pictures were sweet. We were at a meeting for parents who practice EC hosted monthly by Deirdre at Continuum Family. Meredith loves Deirdre’s two daughters and it’s nice for me to sit and chat with likeminded moms (and dads too sometimes!)
She’s in a phase of [...]

 I’d read about seed balls a few times and thought it might be an interesting project to try, but hadn’t got around to it. Basically, seed balls are a mixture of clay, compost, and seeds formed into a ball. The clay protects the seed from birds and insects, the compost gives it something to [...]
