Hopping down the bunny trail

Spring Weekend and 8 month old Miles

While Brian was off WINNING his first race of the year, the rest of us enjoyed a visit from the Napa and Papa. We visited the Easter bunny, took a train ride, a visit to the park and some neighborhood walks. A fun and chill weekend!

Shenanigans

I can see for Miles

We were in the car today and The Who "I can see for Miles" came on. Henry says "Is this a baby song?". I replied, "Well its The Who, its a rock song". Henry said "Well yes it is a baby song, they are singing about Miles. He's a baby!" There you have it, the child's hearing is good.

Boys in the bath

First shared bath ever. Miles is still a little tippy so we didn't put too much water in there. They loved it. Miles was laughing so loud at Henry little antics.

A busy mom: Inspired

Today I sat in on a speaker, The Green Mama : Tracey Bianchi. I will forever remember her name as that is a bike manufacturer and well we know that bikes make the world go around in this house.

Anyway, she is a mom in the Chicago suburbs with 3 kids under the age of 7 doing what she can to educate her children, love her planet and raise awareness about living the 'leave no trace' lifestyle. She stressed that living green is not a trend its a transformation. I hadn't heard it put that way before and truly feel good hearing it put that way. She is not perfect and she didn't claim to be. She has forgotten her reusable grocery sacks upon parking her car at the store. She uses disposable diapers. She admitted what she can and can't do at this time with 3 young children. I gained much today from her guilt-free talk. I'm trying and at least trying is better than not. I'm doing the cloth diaper thing, using reusable grocery sacks, planting vegetables and herbs in our yard all the while talking to Henry about why we do these things. And there is a lot I'm not doing, and easily could and she inspired me today to look at what those things are. Thanks Tracey for the guilt-free talk today, now I'm going to go cut up Brian's old t-shirts. Bye Bye paper towels, its been nice knowing you.
