October 8, 2011

I’m on day 12 of my dairy and soy free diet. When I started, I said I had more questions than answers. Jasmine, the wellness consultant who convinced me to go dairy free, agreed to answer them for me and my readers. So….here we go. 1. So many breastfeeding moms I know gave up dairy and [...]

I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.

October 4, 2011

I promised I’d write more about Tristan’s last doctors appointment so… Remember a couple days ago I told you that I wasn’t sure what I was looking for? I go to Twitter or come to this blog and cry and complain about my high-needs/reflux baby but I’m not sure what I’m looking to get out [...]

I cheated.

October 1, 2011

I don’t blog about everything in my life, of course. But what I do write about, I’m honest. So, here goes. I cheated on my no dairy diet. Last night, after eating dinner and feeding Tristan I ate several bites of Elise’s white cheddar mac ‘n cheese. I’m disappointed in myself and I have a [...]

I’m going dairy free.

September 26, 2011

For 21 days. I’m scared. This also means I’m going dairy QUEEN free. Oh no. I’m still convinced that Tristan suffers from reflux. The Zantac he started 14 days ago has helped but he still experiences a good amount of fussiness and spitting up each day. I’m not entirely convinced that this is due to [...]

I’m not sure what I’m looking for.

September 22, 2011

I spend a lot of time on Twitter talking with other moms (and a few dads). It’s easy to hold or nurse Tristan with one arm and tweet with the other on my iPhone. I really love my Twitter family, the support I get from them, the stories they tell about their kids. I almost [...]

About Me

September 15, 2011

I wrote posts the other day about my children called About Tristan and About Elise. My husband asked if I was going to write a post about him. The answer is no. He’s way too private of a person. But me? Let’s talk about me. I love to research. It’s why I studied journalism in [...]
