I’ve been thinking of writing this post for a while. I’ve been hopeful but hesitant to say “I’m over it.” The postpartum days of no energy. No enthusiasm. No respite from anxiety, frustration, irritation, random and intense anger at minor things, and feelings of isolation and panic. But spring has sprung and with it, my…

DIY: Homemade (Cloth Diaper-safe!) Laundry Goods
After using the following homemade detergent powder for about two years, I am confident in saying that this recipe works very well for us.

And I’m pretty sure we will be living near the Cliffs of Insanity, at least for the next few weeks. Lord, sustain us. When I should have been packing one morning,…
