    Time To Eat!

    Do you cut up the onions and then bake them? I need details, that sounds yummy :)

    Frustrated with Protestant friends!

    I'm sorry, this is hard :( What i don't understand, is why do they care? If they do not believe the Catholic Church is the true faith, if they think the Pope is full of bunk, then why can't they shrug it off and pray for us? :scratch: That's what I do when protestants try to tell me I am...

    Dairy and Babies

    We fed DD plain yogurt at about 9months old (the organic, no sugar stuff) and she LOVED it! IMO, 4 months is probably too young. The enzymes are good for their bellies as they get older, and (this is just my opinion--not medical) I think it helps them to digest solids better as they get used...

    Miserable kid

    First, I have to say that we did everything "right" and DD was a crier if I was more than 50 feet away from her until she was about a year old. (She was breastfed, no diaper rash, held whenever she wanted, not yelled at, consistent schedule, etc.) Some kids are criers, regardless of what you...

    Time To Eat!

    Gymboree

    You have to learn how their sales cycle through. It is kind of like Kohls--never buy anything full price because it will be on sale soon! Also, they have a coupon called "gymbucks"--you earn them during vertain times of the year ($25 buck for every $50 spent)--and then you can redeem them...

    Time To Eat!

    Irish oats are also called steel cut oats--they are oats that haven't been rolled yet ;) You can do regular rolled (old fashioned) oats in the crockpot too, but use a 1:1 ratio of oats and water. Quick oats are just rolled oats that have been chopped up--they make a gloopy mess if you try to...

    Suicide and Hell

    Because we can't crawl into a person's head and know their intent we can't really make the judgement. In the case of the Buddhist monk setting themselves on fire, their stated intent may appear to be about societal norms--but how do we know? What if that is what they state, but in actuality...

    Suicide and Hell

    I can't remember which group thinks this, but there are people who think that if you commit suicide, you return as a rock. Of course, I don't believe this, but it does convey the ramifications of giving up your life, I think.

    self-feeding babies

    Liv has a pretty strong gag reflex and she puked all the time until she was 1.5 years old. :sick: Everything made her gag, we even had to cut her cheerios in half for the longest time! Anyway, one of the best foods for her was watermelon cubes because they dissolved easily. Plus, the ped...

    Two year old wont drink milk from a beaker

    Well, we took a pretty mellow approach to ending bottle use. Basically, we tapered them off until the only one DD had was in the middle of the night (it was easiest for us and we have to feed her midway through the night for health reasons). She started to refuse it and so we moved on. She...
