From my omnivorous days of yore, I think I miss meatloaf the most. I mean seriously now – how have I been getting by without eating a loaf of meat these past three and a half-ish years? It’s a meatless mystery for sure, and it’s time to do something about it! That’s a joke in … Read more
Tonight I had my hopes set on a fast and easy dinner. I was ready to slice up a Kabocha squash that I found recently (at a store, not in my closet or something) but after it’s photo shoot on the cutting board, I flipped it over to find mold growing on the bottom and … Read more
Well, I have no pictures of our woodland adventures today because we were not there long enough to take any pictures. Within about 10 minutes I had two very cold, cranky girls on my hands that not even a backpack full of refined carbohydrates (pretzels, granola bars, kashi crackers) could turn around. It WAS cold … Read more
After what seems like the 100th day in a row of packing and hauling toys and household items to the new house, I found myself blanking once again when it was time to figure out what on earth I was going to make for dinner tonight. I think I made 6 trips back and forth … Read more
Why, hello. This would be my view for much of our 4 hours in the woods today. Who wants to walk when you can be carried? Despite lugging around 30 lbs of toddler, we had a great time with our homeschooling friends and our day outside! We walked the trails at a local park and spent … Read more
With an active day in store for us, I used my workout time this in morning to make some head way on packing and other turning-our-lives-upside-down prep work. I got my heart rate up a couple hours later during an outdoor homeschooling mid-morning adventure with 28 extra pounds strapped to my back. She looks thrilled, … Read more
Tonight as I scoured recipes in a couple of different cook books and those in my recipe box, I had no idea what I was looking for. All I knew was that I needed something I could make with with the remaining produce in my fridge or ingredients found in my cupboard. It’s slim pickings … Read more
Where’s the place to be on a cold, dreary day? The beach of course! We met up with our “Get These Kids Outside Or Bust” homeschooling group and today was a true test of our pledge to get outside even in the crummiest of weather. It was cold. It was rainy. There was whining. Ava … Read more
I’d like to give special thanks tonight to my neighbors, who put up their Christmas tree the day after Halloween. This has been cause for being repeatedly peppered with the “When are we going to put our tree up?” screech question every time we come home in the dark. Uncle! Uncle! I’m crying uncle! OK! … Read more
After a roasted red pepper hummus sandwich and a side of carrot sticks with salsa for lunch this afternoon, we were off with some friends to the local garden center for some holiday fun. Lots of decorations to check out – and painted plywood to stick our heads through. We enjoyed a gigantic train display. … Read more
