Beverly's Backyard: June 2012
http://beverlys-backyard.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 23, 2012. That is one of my husbands favorite sayings. "Never Say Never". I never thought we'd go Organic, but we are! My husband and I would make jokes about 'organic' and 'in-organic' food. Isn't all food 'organic'? For a few years now Ive tried to stay away from high fructose corn syrup. Then I stopped buying foods with MSG on the label. (although we do love to get Chinese take out! A few months back I was talking with a co-worker of mine who is a dietitian. Our conversation then went o...

Beverly's Backyard: October 2012

Thursday, October 4, 2012. This has been the longest 2 months of my life. July 31st. A day Ill never forget. A day that changed our lives. This is the story of Elissah and her diabetes. Hello- we were in air conditioning and live in AC as well. Even a mom who isn't a nurse should see that as red flag! He dismissed us as her having a virus and call if she gets worse. Over the next few hours she took a nap in my ERGO and woke up vomiting green. Bright green toxic looking and the same came from below! Sarah...

Beverly's Backyard: February 2012

Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Mike and I watch the biggest Loser every week. Just like some couples watch Idol, or Bachelor, we watch Loser. We really enjoy watching them succeed and get healthy. Up until recently I would eat a bowl of ice cream while watching them sweat. For some reason that show made me hungry! Mike has started working out with our Wii Fit and it inspired me to do something about my 'baby fat'. 1700 - 1300- 1000. Here are my results:. You should consume about 1,374. Studies have shown th...

Beverly's Backyard: October 2011

Wednesday, October 5, 2011. Rachael' s Homebirth- #6 in the series. If you are expecting don't read this till after you have your baby! When we were planning for Rachael's home birth we thought. It cant be any worse than Matthew's! If I can do that, then I can do anything! Little did we know how difficult it would be. I had gestational diabetes again and. I didn't want another big baby, so at 40 weeks we got the OK from the midwife to try and induce labor, rather than be a week overdue. The stage was set.

Beverly's Backyard: Our Changing World
http://beverlys-backyard.blogspot.com/2013/02/our-changing-world.html
Saturday, February 9, 2013. We left the hospital after Elissah's Insulin pump activation and realized our lives had just changed! We had been approaching that day with trepidation and excitement. I had been weepy for days.let me explain. My daughter has the appearance of being 'normal'. I want her to be 'normal'. With a device attached it makes her diagnosis more real.and she isn't so normal anymore. I should be used to this, as we have been dealing with this for 6 mo.). I know I didn't! When she is ill ...

Sunday, May 20, 2012. I don't use the conventional 'spoon feed' your baby at 6 mo. approach. With my first 4 I did. Couldn't wait to put them on cereal and purees! Then along came Matthew boy. A fat, healthy, thriving on breast milk alone- baby till 10 mo! I went to a natural mothering group and they weren't feeding their babies solids till 12 mo.- with studies to back it up . With the next baby, Rachael, I attempted to spoon feed her at 6 mo.have no idea why. and she cried the whole time I tried! I am a...

Beverly's Backyard: April 2012
http://beverlys-backyard.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 1, 2012. I have always loved the Maple themed time of year. Love the maple leaves in fall and the sap and syrup in Spring. This year we did a Maple unit study and lapbook. I got the books from the library. And the unit study free from www.homeschoolshare.com. As with all unit studies, our Maple study was centered around a theme,. But had many branches (no pun intended). Gave us a break from our everyday studies, but still with lots of learning and activities. And Nature Center in Mumford, NY.
