And in the morning the pipes sent forth a mighty gurgle, and the toilet flushed slowly, and Mama said “If it’s yellow, it’s mellow” and it was yellow, but it was not mellow. Because it’s a proven fact that septic tanks only ever get full in the winter. And the lid is somewhere under all […]
Read More Only In WinterI come to you today, folks, with my head hung low. I have to ask forgiveness for thinking I had all the answers about grumpy babies. “Jut put them on a schedule”, I said. “They thrive on routine”, I said. “It only takes three days to sleep train them”, I said. “They aren’t the boss […]

Read More Methinks The Groundhog Was MistakenI know there are some of you (LISA!) who will never buy into the whole cloth diaper thing, and that is totally ok. I’ve said it before and I still totally understand why anyone would choose disposable over cloth. Cloth ARE more work, and yes, there are really gross moments occasionally. That said, I am […]
Read More Cloth Diaper PoopDo you ever feel like bloggers only share the pretty or funny parts of their life? Yeah, we usually do. I’m actually a little iffy about weather I really want to post this.
