I have been getting more into aromatherapy and herbs again lately. I had an interest in them before Mackenzie was born but when I was pregnant, I couldn't work with most of the oils so those interests were curbed. But after reading The Complete Book of Herbs which has...
Mackenzie is officially moving from 9 month to 12 month sized clothing today. In German sizes, that means we're starting on the 80 (cm) sizes now. I pulled a TON of stuff out of her dresser last night, mostly pajamas that just don't quite stretch far enough anymore on...
Hey puppy pals! What have you been up to? I have been thinking up new ways to keep myself busy since it's been raining a lot. If you follow my tweets, you might have noticed me talking about the delicious walnuts I've been harvesting from one of mom's table...
Hey friends! The weather has been glorious here. It's a brisk 34°F (1°C) in the morning these days, and down into freezing temps overnight. Even though it warms up to about 50°F (9°C) during the day, there's still frost on the grass when we go for the morning walk. I...

Good morning my doggie friends, Today I would like to discuss the very serious matter of allowing your dog to be left out of all the fun. As you may have seen yesterday, my family recently went to the Oktoberfest. I heard about the trip and was excited about the new...
The last week or so has been a rough one here. Mackenzie has begun waking up in the middle of the night usually around 3:30am) and then doesn't want to go back to sleep for a few hours. This is something quite new for us because Mack has always been a really good...
Ok, Grandparent's Day was actually on September 13th, but since I'm already playing catch up with my blog posts, I figured another late one is going to be all right. Maybe next year I'll get to Grandparent's Day before it passes (it'll be on September 12th in 2010!)...
