 Drowning doesn’t look like drowning
If you ever take your children near water and haven’t seen this article, please click over and read it. I’ve seen it posted and reposted many places now, but it’s one of those articles I don’t think can be reposted too many times. It has a lot [...]

 I haven’t been writing much. Mostly, because I’m not really sure what to write. I started this blog to chronicle my journey as a parent and it evolved into trying to portray our unschooling and consensual lifestyle and how it looks and works for our family. Lately, Meredith has been going through a very [...]

 We have been busy, busy, busy! Over the weekend we had some really good friends come out and help us get our chicken coop started. In one day they got from this:
to this:
It was really cool to watch the progress. I can’t wait until it’s done and we can stick [...]

Have I mentioned recently how much I love this cat?
I don’t think we could have asked for a more perfect kitten for us.
He seeks Meredith out and will cuddle with her for hours. If it looks like she’s forcing him, she’s really [...]

 The blog overhaul I started in September is ongoing, albeit very slowly. I finally got around to adding links to an rss feed for specific categories. On the right, you can see you can subscribe to the whole blog, or just subscribe to “living and learning” (which is basically most of the blog), [...]

 I’ve spent a bit of time over the last little bit redesigning my blog. It’s still nothing fancy, but I want to make it a bit easier to navigate, add some options for subscribing based on categories, and add some extra pages with links to various types of posts all in one spot. I’m [...]

 This is a very belated post, since her birthday was last month, but I wanted to publish it anyway, and I’ll also publish one sometime this week about her actual party.
Every year so far for Meredith’s birthday, Kris has taken the day off and we’ve gone and done something fun. The first two [...]

 Fiona is growing so fast, it’s amazing. It’s a little bit sad, since she is almost definitely our last baby, but cool too. She’s sitting on her own, is very chatty, and just the other day started pushing herself up with her hands and using her knees and/or toes to sort of rock. When [...]

Fiona is already over three months old. Unbelievable! She’s growing so fast and definitely not my tiny, squishy newborn any more. Now she’s my tiny, squishy baby. She’s very chatty, much more so than I remember Meredith being, though it’s hard to remember so long ago. She’s starting to be able [...]

 I am very fortunate in that I live about 5 or 10 minutes away from a really cool work-at-home mom who makes and sells EC-friendly baby supplies, as well as other items for natural family living. Deirdre runs Continuum Family, and though I live very close, I know she ships all [...]
