This Latke recipe (also called potato pancakes) is written in my own hand from 1988, when I would have been in third grade. Food has always been a part of my history, and this traditional dish from my Polish heritage is a perennial favorite. When I first served them to my husband, he was incredibly [...]

Are You Wondering Yet?
August 11th, 2011 · 43 Comments · My Story, Natural Health
My email subscribers are probably wondering if I’m in the hospital right now. I already mentioned this week when I posted my Bradley Method birth plan that I am technically “overdue” based on the ultrasound…which is, ahem…um…wrong.

August 7th, 2011 · 11 Comments · What to Buy
I’ve practically forgotten how old I am. I practically forgot my birthday was even coming this year, we’ve been so busy moving, preparing for baby’s arrival, and looking at houses to buy. Such is life as mom, I suppose. And I’m okay with that. My "self" should take a back seat to family life and [...]

More Natural Sunscreen Updates
August 4th, 2011 · 9 Comments · Green Living
Arrayed in front of me are 16 new tubes and sticks of natural mineral-based sunblock that I’ve been fiddling with this summer, along with 6 or 7 from last year that deserve re-evaluation. It takes 10-20 minutes to add each one to the natural sunscreen review, so I’m still working on it! All the changes [...]
