I get these “Your Pregnancy This Week” emails that list a myriad of facts and tidbits about the wee babe growing inside my uterus, along with any other timely pregnancy notes. You know, like “you’re probably busting out of your bra by now” or “your baby is the size of a tarantula”. Stuff like that. … Read more
Let’s say you laid down on the couch this afternoon, kids busy and frolicking to and fro, and you decide to close your eyes for “just a minute”. Then let’s say you woke up some unknown amount of time later, living room dark, kids off entertaining themselves some place else, and suddenly you realize you’ve … Read more

A fast and color coordinated black bean burger and orange fries for dinner tonight! Too bad my black burger was obscured by a piece of provolone cheese. The black and orange effect was lost.

If I hope to ditch any … Read more
Dinner tonight was about ease and speed. Mama’s got a 6:30 yoga class she wants to get to, gang! Chop chop! Or should I say “slice slice!”? With fast cookin’ potatoes on my mind, a couple of orange spuds and I went head to head with the mandolin. A mandolin is a fancy schmancy slicer … Read more
