I recently made some crackers from extra sourdough starter.  If you use sourdough you could give this a try:   I mixed about 1/2 cup starter with an equal amount whole wheat flour and a lump of coconut oil (sorry, I just...

I've been away and didn't notice there were so many responses to my original question!    While it's not a bad idea for me to drink raw milk and let DH drink pasteurized, the way the raw milk system is here and...

I've been learning about raw milk lately and I'm really interested.  DH isn't impressed by my arguments.  We have access to grass-fed, unhomogonized pasteurized milk, so is it worth it to keep pushing the issue?  He...

DS is developing in leaps and bounds physically, but his language skills have been slower to emerge and I just want to check that things are still "normal."  At his 12m well child the doctor seemed a little surprised that he...

We also love Elizabeth Mitchell!  I'd also recommend Caspar Babypants.  We've only listened to one of his 3 cds but I loved it.  (Here I Am!)   I'm looking forward to checking out some of the other recommended...

My DS is pretty active but perhaps not quite as rambunctious as your DD seems to be!  But however rowdy, it can be tricky to have a bump-free bath time!  Here are my suggestions:   Go ahead and try getting in the tub...

Like, how much is a serving?  Do I eat it in the same bite with other foods (like sauerkraut on a brat or salsa on chips) or just plain on it's own?  I'm interested in trying to make some homemade sauerkraut and probably...

Ha!  I *just* got my water kefir (and milk kefir) grains from that same place yesterday!  Adoption certificate too.  :)  I agree the transaction was fantastic and the grains look great.
