About Mama

Became a mom in July 2010. Married since April 2005. Work during the day, and when I come home, I'm all about my family. We cloth diaper our son. I made his baby food.

Or, the other conversation I had with another very dear friend of mine regarding a 9 … Great read! Show me more!

My Toddler’s Diet – Some Days Are Good, Some Not So Good….

What did Lil ‘K eat today? Well, it’s only 11 am & I must say, I’m pretty happy right now with his nutritional intake. For breakfast, he had a mini cinnamon & raisin bagel with peanut butter and a banana. For his mid-morning snack, he had quesadilla made with wheat (the smaller ones) tortilla, stuffed with apple slices, sliced grape tomatoes, shredded carrots, and some colby & monterey jack cheese. He dipped the quesadilla into two dips: one was medium … Great read! Show me more!

Produce – the Dirty Dozen to Eat Organic and the Clean Dozen

All About Mama!

I have one life, I intend to do it the way I want. My son has one life. I intend to get him started as good as I can. I think we all are on this earth (all beings) together, so we should be able to live together. I believe every action has consequences from the small to the large. I try to live very aware of everything. Aware of how what I do impacts those around me. I believe … Great read! Show me more!
