Oh, boy, oh boy! Dorothy the sheep‘s little baby boy surprised us the weekend before last on a quiet Saturday evening, turned not-so-quiet. While relaxing inside the house, Pre-Hubs already drifting off to sleep after a hard day’s work, I heard Dorothy’s cry from outside. She’s normally kind of a noisy little thing, that Dot,…

The GAPS Diet: How Food Heals Autism
I hadn’t planned on blogging about GAPS until I actually started the diet myself, but I was so stirred and encouraged by a recent article from Dr. Mercola that I feel compelled to begin sharing my thoughts on this subject which I feel so passionately about. If you’re not already familiar, Dr. Mercola is a…
Magic Color Change Monster Cookies
I’m pretty sure this one is gonna raise some eyebrows. I mean, how could a real food recipe have magically-changing colors without some sort of nasty chemical concoction inside? I… I don’t know. But these cookies do — they are indeed magic! It is a mystery. I did not know these existed, nor did I…

Easy Homemade Baby Wipes
Calm down, everyone. I’m not pregnant. (cause that’s obviously what you were thinking when you read the title of this post… jay-kay, jay-kay.) 😛 It’ll be a couple more years til I’ll be using baby wipes for an actual infant. Well, human infant that is. But when I started working with children professionally some years…
Goatie’s Surprise Angel Kid
Surprise… Goatie actually was pregnant. Some sort of goat herdsman’s intuition led Pre-Hubs to totally call it, too. Just last night he asked me if I thought her udder looked “big.” We looked at her, and I thought maybe it did look a little more noticeable than it used to, but I have no experience…
