feeding guide: the first year

One of the things that I found the most daunting in switching my babies to solid foods, was determining how much I should be feeding them so they were getting enough nutrients to grow up with a healthy metabolism as well as a broad palette and appreciation and joy of eating good food.  I think …

don’t be a basic witch

I'm keeping it short and sweet this week - I often crack my own shit up, which exactly what lead to this blog post.  The kids thought my 'Don't Be A Basic Witch' pumpkin was pretty cool so what started as a coloring page based on this design, quickly became the baddest witch around.  Download …
