GET THE SCOOP!

Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything. I guess a new baby is as good an excuse as any. She’s currently snoring away happily in her nursery, so I’m taking this opportunity to give you guys the update on what we’ve been up to.

Today I’m officially three weeks away from my due date, and on top of that, my midwives think I’m probably going to deliver our daughter a little bit early. So… I’m going to be taking an official break from the Scoop, just for a little while. I’m feeling the need to focus on getting ready [...]

On Monday I briefly mentioned a product called Floradix. I’ve been anemic for a long part of my pregnancy without knowing it, but now that I’m taking Floradix every day I feel amazing. My iron levels are up, my energy has returned, and the Floradix doesn’t have any associated… how shall I say… poop issues. [...]

Hi guys, it’s been a while. Actually, I didn’t realize how long it’s been until just a few days ago. I’ve had a few things going on in the last several months, mostly health issues that took me a long time to correct. I was severely anemic for a few months, something I started correcting [...]

This year other’s Day falls on Sunday, May 10th (add it to your calendar!). I can tell you that going through this pregnancy has really made me appreciate everything my mom went through while she was pregnant with me, so Mom definitely deserves something thoughtful and nice this year.

Organic Bouquet has a lovely [...]

I received an email today from New Leaf Paper that included news of its partnership with Office Depot on a line of notebooks for sale in their stores. I checked on Office Depot’s website and see four products, which range from a $2.39 composition book (30% post-consumer recycled content) to a cute-covered $5.99 college ruled [...]

While I was at Expo, I got so caught up talking to several wonderful people that I totally failed on by goal of blogging from the show floor. Also, my poor feet were so swollen after walking the show that I had to plant my pregnant ass in a nearby hotel lobby for two hours [...]

Greetings from Anaheim, California. I’m here to attend ExpoWest, a large trade show focused around natural and organic products. I’m writing from my iPhone, which is pretty cool but has a few limitations. I can’t link, which is annoying… But I can add photos, so hopefully you guys can expect to see a few shots [...]

Here’s a fun quiz if you’re needing a little distraction today: How much of your body could be recycled?

One of the side effects of being pregnant that I was NOT prepared for is the constant hunger. That, and I can only eat about two thirds of what I used to consider a normal portion size at a time. As a result, I’ve been grazing my way through the last four months. This wasn’t [...]

Since my posting has been admittedly spotty for the last few months, I figure I should share the reason why: I’m pregnant. While that’s not really a reason in itself, it was the morning sickness in the beginning that made it nearly impossible to look at a screen for too long. I’m not going to [...]

I’ve been hearing about this for a few days now, but today I decided to see for myself what PETA’S Save the Sea Kittens campaign is all about. What are Sea Kittens, you ask? Fish. They’re fish. Regular old fish.
In yet another ill-advised and ridiculous attempt to get people to reconsider eating animals, they’re trying [...]

Okay guys, I’m back! Sorry about the lull, it’s been like an extended vacation of sorts. I have lots of good info and stories to share, which I’ll eventually get around to… soon.
One bit of news: I’ve decided to discontinue writing the Monthly Meals. I know, some of you really liked them. It’s just that [...]

The holiday season is usually associated with consumerism, which is bumming a lot of you out this year. Ted and I considered making everyone’s gift this year, but in the end, we just couldn’t be that lame. So we’ve found ways to give gifts that we can get behind ethically, that also are a little [...]
