</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was recently given a bag full of lemons. I had so many ideas for them, but life got in the way. A week later they were STILL in the bag waiting to be touched. Since I was making ginger ale using my mother's <a href="http://astepofhealth.blogspot.com/2010/01/whey-and-ginger-ale-recipes.html">whey and ginger ale recipe</a>, I thought I would apply the same process and try</div><div style="text-align: center;">lacto-fermented lemonade. Although I am not sure of the properties of this, I do know that what the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nourishing-Traditions-Challenges-Politically-ebook/dp/B00276HAWG/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1333381175&sr=8-11">Nourishing Traditions</a> book teaches: "lacto-fermentation makes nutrients in these goods more available and supplies the intestinal tract with healthy promoting lactic acid and lactic-acid-producing bacteria." (page xii) I thought that lacto-fermenting my lemonade would not only give my family something healthy to drink, but it would also be a tasty alternative to ginger ale. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><b>Recipe</b></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"> (these are all very approximate measurements..) </div><div style="text-align: center;">Juice lemons (however many you have)</div><div style="text-align: center;">If they are organic lemons you can add the zest of a couple lemons </div><div style="text-align: center;">1/4-1/2 cup of whey (see my mother's post above) </div><div style="text-align: center;">2 teaspoons sea salt</div><div style="text-align: center;">1/2 cup of rapadura (you can use any sweetener) </div><div style="text-align: center;">fill the rest of the container with filtered water</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Let this sit on the counter for 2-3 days. There was a film on the top of mine, but you can just strain that off. Store in the refrigerator. You can also add more sweeter at this point. I used WAY to many lemons so we diluted ours with water before we drank it. This is a personal preference. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><u><b>Happy adventures into lacto-fermenting!! </b></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>P.S. If you do not already have nourishing traditions......Get it!</i><br />
<i> It is my bible for all things cultured or</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i> lacto-fermented : </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I simply did not think about it because we did not have anything planned. As I was searching in her drawer I found a skirt that I never put her in and a top that was all stained so I decided to make them into a dress for her and embellish it since I am rich with fabric around this house :) I just love how it turned out!! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Since I was at it I thought I am so tired of wearing jeans and old tee shirts (and I am sure that my husband is tired of seeing me in that) so I searched in my closet for something and put together a new dress for me as well and we went and had a lunch date with daddy for Valentines day. It has been a great day so far! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to call this post from grass to food because when we moved here we had basically just a great grassy lawn that was perfectly fenced in but I saw it not as a great place for Gracie to run around in but as a great place for her to learn about where our food comes from. She will have a chance, even in the urban area, to get her hands dirty and experience picking tomatoes right off the vine and eating them. We did a garden last year (with not much success) but in learning from this experience we are doing things a bit different this year. The other way to turn our grass into food was to get chickens for the eggs!!! It has taken me a year to get them but I am so excited to say we have some new little ladies that are part of our family. The last thing that we have recently done in our yard it make a compost pile. I will talk about these three things in this blog post. I have to say first and foremost I am NOT an expert in any way on these things but I am just trying to provide the best food for my family at the best cost possible and give my daughter the love of great food just like her mommy and daddy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It shows a way to get back to the way God designed us to garden. Even for a new gardener like myself it is a great video to watch to learn about gardening. This first picture is the strawberry bed. The back part was existing from last year and the part in the front is the expanded portion with the new gardening method. When my strawberries start to grow I will spread them out to the whole patch. The picture below is my summer garden (or the start of it) I bought these trays with the pods at Walmart for $5.50 each and I have 100 starts that are all Baker Creek Seeds. The reason I do <a href="http://rareseeds.com/">Baker Creek Seeds </a>is because they are not genetically modified in any way and if I am going to do an organic garden where I want to give my family the best possible produce why would I use genetically modified seeds to plant with? It is just a personal preference though :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I saw on Pintrest that you could grow celery by simply chopping off the bottom couple of inches of the celery that you buy at the store and planting it. I buy organic celery every week anyway so I thought it would not hurt to try. This first picture was the first week I tried it (about 3 weeks ago) and it is totally sprouting and all I did was put the bottom of the celery in the ground. You can see from this picture that with our new form of gardening you simply dig down through the mulch and plant into the soil. I have not watered the garden once and it is totally growing!!! (I am still amazed since our water bill last year went up about $50.00 a month from the garden alone...).

I am going to rake this out and let the chickens "turn" my compost for me so that I do not have to do it by hand. Then I can use the compost to put on my garden when I am ready to put in my summer garden.

One of my daughters first foods was egg yokes and we have been buying for a local guy for about 8 months and I really wanted to have some chickens of my own. My parents have chickens and I have wanted to get some for our family for a long time. I just think it is so cool to go out in the morning and see if there is any eggs for breakfast. We just got 4 laying hens and hope to get possibly 2 more but being that they are laying hens they cost us $15.00 each so we will get more next week hopefully (by the way $15.00 is a good deal for a laying hen) My amazing dad came to visit and made this cool coop that we have nicknamed the Zamboni chicken coop (because it looks like a Zamboni my husband says :) My dad made it movable so that I can move it around the yard so the chickens can get fresh grass everyday without them eating my garden!! We just got them yesterday and we already have 2 eggs!!!! I am so excited. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The first one I made I did not leave enough fabric so when I gathered it the waist was way to small. You would make it almost into a box and just have a slightly wider base then the top. I made two pieces then sewed them together at the seams. I then attached elastic to the top and gathered it. Finally I put on some decorative lace on the bottom just to make it extra cute :) </td></tr>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our little pumpkin is 11 months old today!! It is also Brad and my 2 year anniversary. For our anniversary my husband took my out to a wonderful dinner on Saturday night and it was the first time that I have left Gracie with anyone but Daddy and she did very good. It was hard for my but it was really nice to go out with just Brad and not have to worry about Gracie getting loud or making a mess :) It was also so nice to just have "adult" conversation. I know that so many people think that I am crazy to have not left Gracie for this long but we did what was best for our family and what worked for us. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Looking back at the pictures from this past month I can really see little miss personality coming out in the pictures! I wanted to take her to the pumpkin patch and get pictures for her 1st birthday invitation. I made her a tutu (because every little girl needs a tutu right???) and she had so much fun!! Here are some of the other pictures from the pumpkin patch. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisyZgaoOpK_M-5fzdoSKpbvFZJuCL0iI7Z7ffofVmgU1BE_OCHQEwxiZkZyRcT12JbjGN9ASXH38C-TYoFYRgh1iys3-JlL0Ess8HQ7QrAaSGise6mDhf9B4U0eDF1oeDePx9GsDj1kGgn/s1600/10-16-11+032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisyZgaoOpK_M-5fzdoSKpbvFZJuCL0iI7Z7ffofVmgU1BE_OCHQEwxiZkZyRcT12JbjGN9ASXH38C-TYoFYRgh1iys3-JlL0Ess8HQ7QrAaSGise6mDhf9B4U0eDF1oeDePx9GsDj1kGgn/s320/10-16-11+032.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our little monkey is already 10 months old and she has learned so many new things this month! Gracie is crawling everywhere and she is so fast! She pulls up on everything and get into any thing that is in reach so it keep momma and daddy VERY busy. She has also gotten 2 teeth finally!! This has not really helped with sleeping but she is doing better, only getting up once or twice a night. The other new thing is Gracie is eating so much! She LOVES to eat and really the only thing that she does not like is scrambled egg but she will eat hard boiled egg yoke with no problem. She loves to eat things straight from the garden. Her favorites are tomatoes, beets, cucumber, green beans, and really any other fruit or veggie. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Gracie is very vocal to what she wants. As I sit here typing she is yelling at the top of her lungs for no reason.....just to yell but that is ok :) She really is such a great little girl and each day that goes by we get to see the little personality that is coming through. Today, on her 10 month "birthday," she also got her new big girl car seat! The other one was just getting too small for her so hopefully the new one will make long car rides better then previously. Keep up growing into the beautiful little child that you are becoming baby girl. We love you so much and can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I cannot believe our little monkey is 9 months old today!! It seems like just yesterday we brought her home at 4 pound 10 ounces and yet today she is already around 17 or 18 pounds! Gracie's new thing this month is CRAWLING......She is into everything but is really enjoying being about to get around herself. She has not quite figured out that if momma or daddy are in the other room or across the room that she can get there herself but I am not really rushing that either :) Her favorite thing to say is dada...dada....all day long and occationally she says mama. She also likes to say something that sounds like nono. Also she is getting more hair and I am able to put some clippies in it but she promptly takes them off :) We love you so much little monkey and cant wait to see what the next month holds!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My sweet Gracie, I cannot believe that you are already 8 months old! I woke up this morning and almost got sad that the time is going so quickly but then I heard your sweet "singing" from the crib and I remembered I have the sweetest child ever!! You are the light of your daddy and my eyes and we love to more each day then the day before even though it is hard to imagine. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
This month you have mastered rolling and figuring out a way to get where you want to be. You are not quite crawling but I know that any day now you are going to put all the pieces together and crawl......Mommy is not quite ready for that :) You LOVE food of any kind. There is nothing that you have not really liked. No teeth yet but it feels like there might be some coming threw soon. The only thing that is still hard is mommy and daddy are TIRED!! You are still getting up twice a night! But I know this time will go so quickly and I will not even remember this :) You also had a very special trip where you cousins, Auntie, and Uncle came to visit. You had your first trip to the zoo and we had a great time. We love you pumpkin! Keep Growing!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

She turned 7 months last Friday but over the weekend we had daddy's first fathers day AND his 30th birthday! It was a really fun time but I was really busy so did not get around to posting. One of her new favorite things is swimming! She loves the water and is ok with going under the water as well! She is kicking her feet loves splashing around. She is sitting so well and I am sure that she is going to try to be on the move soon.....mommy is not ready for that :) Gracie is "talking" a lot and always loves seeing her daddy come through the front door. The only thing that she is not so good at is sleeping at night.....mommy and daddy are very tired but hopefully soon she will at least drop it down to only getting up once or twice at the most. Oh well, this too will be over in a blink of an eye :) She is the joy and light in our life. So much fun to have playing and talking to us :) We love you pumpkin!</span></td></tr>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I made some blueberry lemon jam and scones to go with it. I was inspired by my Aunt Arleen who made some jam recently. This was not my recipe but I made it work with the berries that I had. The scone recipe was from my mother but really good! I bought 4 little things of blueberries from the store and used them for each recipe. One basket was about 1 cup of blueberries. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Gracie is loving food of all kinds, playing with her friends, and "exploring" anything she can get her hands on. She is almost sitting by herself and rolling from back to front as well as front to back. I know before long she will be moving.....mommy is not ready for that :) Gracie is getting quite a personality and loves her daddy and momma. We love you Gracie and adore seeing you grow up! Mommy is treasuring every snuggle because she is already not liking to just sit and snuggle.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am writing this a few days late but I wanted to do a blog with our favorite pictures of the month. One of the big new things this month is eating food! Gracie had started to show interest in food and so we gave her some and she loves it. She has had avocado, banana, egg yoke, pureed grass fed beef (it smelled gross but she loved it :) as well as some vegetables. This is a new thing. She had her first food the day before she turned 5 months. It is mostly a social thing now but she just goes mmmmmm the whole time :) The other thing that is new is that we got her ears pierced. She looks so cute. On the day she turned 5 months her daddy and I also took her to the beach which was a lot of fun. I also take her swimming once a week and she absolutely loves it. She lays on her back, goes under water and loves to kick her feet in the pool. That is the reason for the pictures in her bathing suit below. One of the last things that she is doing is rolling over from her stomach to her back.....sometimes. All in all she is such a delight to her daddy and I. We just love seeing what new things she will learn each day!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">You are turning into such a joyful little girl to be around. Some of the new things that you do this month is that you almost sit up (with just a little help :) and you have even turned over from your tummy to your back a couple times. This is rare though since you do not like being on your tummy. You have started to giggle which is different then just your laugh. Also you are starting to sleep a lot better at night, although you are an early bird and want to be up at 5:00 ready to go! Gracie you are a delight and I cannot wait to see what new things you learn this next month!! Love always Mommy and Daddy</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I am trying to be more of a seamstress in my life. I have done lots of baby blankets but beyond that I have not done much. My husband got me a sewing machine for Christmas which I absolutely love. I had a complicated older machine and he got me a simple machine that just goes without all the hassle. I had gotten this moses basket from a consignment store and it worked good, I would just put a blanket in it because the fabric would never stay up on the sides. I have to say that without a pattern or much direction it turned out ok. Being a perfectionist in some ways I can see many flaws but it it is A LOT better then it was. First I took apart the old cover to use as a template. I knew that the sides had to be taller, since this one did not work, but I just guessed on the measurements. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgWAuOs_Or5GWL0NOznW-c9lqOi8Qck3DnWFVOfU8oyOi97vJbVkVGAxLioJO2ZeoUd5kLIm8v7pckIX_RRuO-KxEOBNC0qrwtVI_DmU0f4BO0QXo2kVN2QjiLOwAAOsA7VJkgC0s_cA-D/s1600/016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgWAuOs_Or5GWL0NOznW-c9lqOi8Qck3DnWFVOfU8oyOi97vJbVkVGAxLioJO2ZeoUd5kLIm8v7pckIX_RRuO-KxEOBNC0qrwtVI_DmU0f4BO0QXo2kVN2QjiLOwAAOsA7VJkgC0s_cA-D/s320/016.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Then I pinned the "template" to my new fabric. I took some leftover fabric for a liner and cut out the liner and the soft fabric together so that it would match up. The bottom (under the mattress) I left as just the liner </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I left one side open so that I could get the mattress out for cleaning. I could put velcro or a small zipper but it works ok with it open too so that I can clean it in case of any accidents. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUahwuV3gP_G7TqbOThDEBxUodHzPYSYqcf6nten_qseSi12MLBZYU9_PNz5zx09SIVjmLZM1VWYgaW3bUgrMdnf9etZgy2eGffepO0hSWfOzsTQQbuMFgk4mMxuNQZFC2fscoQaykVpMo/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUahwuV3gP_G7TqbOThDEBxUodHzPYSYqcf6nten_qseSi12MLBZYU9_PNz5zx09SIVjmLZM1VWYgaW3bUgrMdnf9etZgy2eGffepO0hSWfOzsTQQbuMFgk4mMxuNQZFC2fscoQaykVpMo/s320/002.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>Then, I took some leftover batting and doubled it up to create a barrier between the basket and the baby. I just stuck it in there and put the cover over it.<br />

This worked great and I love how it turned out. I know it is not the best but it works for us.<br />

I got this idea from my sister in law. I got 4 colors of ribbon from the craft store for 50 cents each and a hoop for $1.29. My daughter loves to look up at it and stare at the colors. It was really fun to make too!! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I cannot believe how big you are getting. Some of your new tricks include holding your head up, cooing, and saying something that resembles "hi" although I think that is just wishful thinking on our part. You also have learned how to smile and follow us with your eyes around the room. You have blue/gray eyes and your hair has a touch of red in it even though your daddy in in denial about that. He says it is not red it is strawberry blond :) You are able to hold yourself up when you sit on our laps and your eyes absolutely sparkle when your daddy comes home from work. Both of us love you more then words can say and we love seeing what a fun little princess you are turning into!~Love always Mommy and Daddy </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I recently tried to make some homemade soaked granola. It turned out very good and I wanted to share the recipe for those that wanted to try it also. I originally got the recipe from a great blog called <a href="http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/">passionate homemaking</a>. I really like this blog because it has some great recipes and lots of other information. The recipe they had is listed <a href="http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/2008/07/homemade-granola.html">here</a>. My recipe which was adapted the passionate homemaking recipe is listed below</div><ul><li>8 cups rolled oats</li>
<li>3/4 cup melted coconut oil</li>
<li>1/2 cup melted butter</li>
<li>2-2 1/2 cups raw milk (only enough to make it moist)</li>
<li>1/2 cup raw honey</li>
<li>1/2 cup evaporated palm sugar (although next time I would probably substitute maple syrup for this. You can use any dark sugar and it would work fine including brown sugar) </li>
<li>1 tsp sea salt</li>
<li>4 tsp cinnamon</li>
<li>4 tsp vanilla extract </li>
</ul>The following is what I put in my granola but any combination of things in your cupboard could work including nuts, raisins, dates, coconut......the possibilities are endless! <br />
<ul><li>1 cup raisins</li>
<li>1 cup dried cranberries </li>
<li> 1 cup sliced almonds </li>
<li>1 cup pecans</li>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">2011</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"> In this new year my husband and I have embarked on a new adventure. We moved back to Sonoma county for a great opportunity for my husband with a new job. Now I have the privileged of staying home with our little three month old daughter. I love being with her every day but I am also trying to stretch our budget to accommodate me staying home. With that said, God provided an amazing house for us to live in. It is actually the old homestead from the 20's or 30's. It has it's quarks of course but it is a great place to be. It is really fun to think that we have our own little homestead in the city. It has a great yard and I am going to try to start a year round garden for us so that I do not have to spend as much on produce for my family. We try to eat organic and fresh vegetables but that really adds us. I spend anywhere from $25-$30/week just on produce that I could grow a lot of it in our own back yard. I have been reading a book that my aunt loaned to me called <i><u>One Magic Square</u></i> by Lolo Houbein. This talks about growing organic food in a 3 foot by 3 food box. It shows ways to use every inch of the box to grow your vegetables. I am using this idea but I am going to have 4 foot by 4 foot boxes because of where we are putting them in the garden. There is also a website that I came upon, it is a <a href="http://www.igrowsonoma.org/year-round-planting-and-maintenance-guide-for-sonoma-county">year round planting guide </a>for Sonoma County. I was so excited because I could grow things year round and this guide is so easy to follow. I am sure that it could be changed a bit to show almost any climate in California. Now I just need to get my husband to start on the boxes.......my birthday is coming up maybe I can have them built for my present :) There are so many new possibilities when there is access to having a garden. After reading this book I now realize that it does not take a lot of room to provide a lot of food for you and your family. Now if the rain would just go away and spring would come..............on well we need the rain! Have a great day everyone!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiejh8XFxLB8du3B5SQBeg65KpUPfl8UN9X5aFb9Y3CNoXaJ-3MQSSOp_ogs5i-1tHp_As-M-omJ-co3JqpDh65uN8KvbJc7A32ODLchASGX4PvlCI3sxrcmuZ9Zk-jkAmAFqfzazg6F4DZ/s1600/081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiejh8XFxLB8du3B5SQBeg65KpUPfl8UN9X5aFb9Y3CNoXaJ-3MQSSOp_ogs5i-1tHp_As-M-omJ-co3JqpDh65uN8KvbJc7A32ODLchASGX4PvlCI3sxrcmuZ9Zk-jkAmAFqfzazg6F4DZ/s320/081.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

I remember clearly thinking I could never do cloth diapers and that it was something that was just too gross for me. While I was pregnant my sister in law started to use cloth diapers also and I saw just how easy it was to do and the amount of saving that could really add up. My husband and I are doing the Dave Ramsey program and are really on a budget so the thought of having to put $20 a week in the budget just for diapers was not an option. I figured it up and it basically costs $20.00 a week for diapers and if you figure that she is going to be in diapers for at least 2 years that would be $2080!!! That would be if she was potty trained at 2 years old which could not be true. My husband and I decided to do the cloth diapers while I was still pregnant and I got a couple from the baby showers. Now that my daughter is here I am so amazed how many diapers that she can go through in a day!! I never really knew how many it could be and I am so thankful that now she is big enough to be in them. She is 2 months old and now she has finally gotten up to 10 pounds. They seem a bit big on her but the good thing is that I can finally start putting her in the 0-3 month cloths as opposed to the newborn clothes because the diapers are a bit bulkier then regular diapers :)</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> We are using the bumgenius diapers. This one shown is the bum genius 4.0 for more information about this one click </span><a href="http://www.bumgenius.com/one-size.php" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">. These are good for night time since they have two liners so it absorbs better then the other kind I use. This helps to prevent diaper rash (which FYI for diaper rash just put a little breast milk on the rash for a day or so and it goes away :) The other kind of diaper that I use is the bumGenius elemental (it used to be called the all in one organic diaper) which is made with organic cotton. For more info click </span><a href="http://www.bumgenius.com/organic.php" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">. This is great for day use since the diaper is changed more often. I figure that I need about 24 diapers and I have 5 already that were given to me. On the site cottonbabies.com the organic diapers are $264.95 for 12 diapers and 6 of the 4.0 diapers for night time for $104.70. That would be $369.54 for all the diapers that I would need for this baby and the next ones that I may have so........approximately $2000 per child for diapers or approximately $400 for all the diapers that I will need......It seems like a no brainier to me :) Plus the bonus is that she is so cute in her diapers. I hope that if you are thinking about having a baby or know anyone that is having a baby that you would consider cloth diapering. It really is easy and does not add that much more laundry. About a load every other day is all that it would be. Happy Cloth Diapering!!!</span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I never thought I would do it but after reading so many others blogs for the past year I thought that this is something I would love to do. I want this blog to be about my everyday life but I am going to focus a lot on cooking and, of course, my family. My family consists of my adoring husband and my beautiful daughter who is 7 weeks old right now. We have been married for a little over a year and it has absolutely flown by. In that year we have moved to the "mountains" from the bay area, I had our daughter, He started a new job and profession, and we have moved 4 times......It is a crazy life but that is why I wanted to call my blog moments of timeless treasures because each moment goes by so fast and remembering the good and the bad is what makes life so interesting :)<br />
<br />
My husband and I love to cook together, that is one of the things that really brings us together. We have the reputation of being good chefs and love trying new things. My husband is much more adventurous then I am with trying new things but I have come to love that about him and because of that I have tried many things I probably would have never tried had I not been with him. Some examples are buffalo, bear, and most recently elk meat. These are all things that I would have never tried if he had not asked me to. Another thing that goes with cooking that I am trying to do with my family is eat as whole, raw, and organic as possible. I really try to make a lot of what we eat from scratch. This is not always possible but I am trying and for the most part we do fairly good. My resolution this year is to try to expand my culinary horizon to include things that are "healthy" but make them actually taste good. That is why I want to blog, I will try out new recipes and put them on here and see how it goes. Happy New Year to all and I hope this year is filled with moments of timeless treasures!!!Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14333384683376354615noreply@blogger.com0
