By popular demand (on Instagram), I tested 5 of the most popular non-toxic diapers on my baby to find out which one performs best. Here are the real life results! I've posted some out-there stuff on this site before but - I'll admit - this one takes the cake. The genesis of this whole thing was definitely a "Me Problem", as they say. I have been using Huggies for my younger son since shortly after he was born but, with every recent box, I have been more and more skeptical of ...

The Best Gluten Free and Dairy Free Snacks
So, I had a baby. And for all the warnings I got about adjusting from one kid to two, the development I was least prepared for was colic and reflux. But here we are, 8 months later, with a baby who is finally more comfortable - but only because I have eliminated dairy and soy from my diet (he's also on medication).

My 3-year-old son was in excellent hands with ... Read More about Working from Home With Kids: My Best Tips from Years of Practice

An Update
After a prolonged silence here, this probably won’t come as a surprise, but I am taking a break from blogging and social media for the foreseeable future. It’s not you, it’s me (really). I love this community so much, and am so proud of all the cooking and baking we’ve done together. But the truth is that I’m just mentally and physically drained, and have been for awhile. Nearly 365 days without time to rest, recharge, see friends in person, eat at a restaurant, sit at a coffee shop, ... Read More about An Update
