The bottle warmer is one of those baby gear items you just don’t need. (Am I right?) But that doesn’t stop people from giving them as baby shower gifts, or palming them off as hand-me-downs. At least Ingrid came up with way to repurpose hers: On the days we have pancakes for breakfast, we use […]

No…I do not jump out of bed for joy when my alarm goes off. There is usually some grumbling and moaning involved, and maybe a snooze button or two. But for the most part, my day starts around 5:30-5:45am. I do yoga everyday…EVERYDAY. Some days it’s for 30 minutes, other days I spend nearly two […]

If your culture is the standard for rightness, you have found the Imago Dei in others to be […]
Who doesn’t love a hot bowl of oatmeal in the morning — especially as the weather starts to get a bit chilly? But, who has the time to prepare oats in the morning — aside from the instant ones that tend to be full of sugar? If you want to get your oatmeal fix, but […]

I love to whip up mixes like this and keep them in my fridge during the week. We use them on everything from my lunch-time wrap […]
My kids just started middle- and high school and I still hate packing their school lunches. The obvious retort is well, then, why don’t you get them to pack their own lunches? Because I also love packing their lunches. I should say: I love the nurturing, generous part of packing lunches. But I hate the details: […]
I think we’ve talked about Halloween before, but I haven’t always loved it.
