someone take this baby out of my belly. please.

Does anyone in the north jersey area have the tools and know how to fix a transmission that has NO first gear? We don't have much money, but can barter with a few different things/services.... childcare, sewing skills, cooking, pest control, some home improvement... etc.

We really either need to get the money to get a car that runs or get this one fixed to...

Good thing I'm going through EVERYTHING for baby now. I just discovered that my breast pump is missing the AC Transformer. Kind of hard to pump without something to plug it into the wall with. And the bottle tops and nipples are missing. Fucking shit.

And after a very kind SGer bought all the replacement accessories so that I could use it with the baby...

1. all natural ingredients that have more bland colors and less varied scents, but at a...

Newest soap on the curing rack: Coffee Scrub

Brett asked me to make a highly exfoliating soap like a mechanic's soap. I opted to do a coffee soap with coffee grounds so it can also be used in the kitchen or for gardeners and it will practically eat away at odors while moisturizing and exfoliating.

4 weeks before we can use it.

I seem to be on a roll right now. I made a batch of soap Saturday night and now as the kids are napping I just whipped up another.

Both are my own recipes, so I hope they turn out well. The first, in case you didn't see my previous post, is a Citrus Sea Salt Bar and this new one is a Calming Oatmeal...

Today is my 1 year anniversary with GIBrett. Right now he's out on a bike run for the morning and when he gets back, we plan on doing Veggie Heaven for lunch because it's where we grabbed lunch on the run the first day we met (when he was helping me move everything from my old apartment).

It's been a long, tough year, but...

At my last visit, I was told that my placenta is low-lying and I will need another ultrasound at around 30-32 weeks to see if it is definitely placenta previa or not. I'm really hoping it isn't because with any complications, if I have to deliver at Hackensack Hospital, chances are that I'll have a c-section. The less extreme cases could be early labor or...
