About Lemonpuss
I am living the dream and staying home to raise my three kids while my wife and I try to renovate our 150 year old farmhouse and keep the grapevines from consuming the house. We are a free-range family, and I spend my days with the kids crafting, gardening, canning fruit, and keeping the peace. Some days I'm lucky enough to fit in a little knitting. (Now with more kindergarten!)Contact me:

Sick
We have been sick with various illnesses for too long. Finally we are getting to the heart of it all, the stomach bug. Incubation seems to be just long enough to be lulled into hoping the other kids won’t get … Continue reading
Dentist
The kids had their first trip to the dentist yesterday. They did beautifully, lots of curiosity and bravery. They are in good shape, and can’t wait to go back. I , am as always, in awe of how grown up … Continue reading
Quiet
I just had to check if the baby was still alive as he napped next to me because for the first time in WEEKS he isn’t whistling / gurgling / snorting / rasping while he breathes. (Still alive, BTW.)

Flora
Epic battle in the baby’s toddler’s belly. He’s hating and fighting the dosing syringe with Augmentin that is supposed to cure his ear infections. He is improving, though, except for the bleeding diaper rash caused by all the good flora … Continue reading
Grateful
Today I’m grateful for insurance that makes it easy to pop by the pediatrician’s office to get Maya’s eye checked after a scissor poking incident. All is well, although she’s a little disappointed that no eye patch was prescribed. Griffin, … Continue reading
