I made it! Picked up my swag. (that’s actually a really nice long sleeve tech shirt.  and green glasses rule.) Rolled out my leg on a rolling pin – (thanks for that, Katheryn!) Like so: and had a hotel bed pre-marathon dinner time picnic. (my current fav salad mess, half a bagel, Brussels sprouts, Buffalo …

Well, I’ve got good news – and I’ve got bad news. The bad news is, squirrels don’t give a rats ass about marigolds. I came home from running errands this afternoon to find this guy checking out my berry patch loot. I didn’t want to believe it was true, so I stalked him to see …

Lately I’ve been keeping an eye out for grain free, sugar free breakfast ideas.  Thanks to The Primal Blueprint, I’ve been feeling this urge to put a little space between me and my typical breakfast of champi-oats. Ask and apparently you shall receive!  Didn’t a recipe for a bitter chocolate pumpkin cake land in my …

For Old Aunt Zyne

December 31st, 2009 | Posted by Alison Spath in Late Night Craziness - (15 Comments)

So what did we do with ourselves today you’re surely wondering? Why we took up the offer of a fellow homeschooling mama to blow this pop stand in favor of the YMCA and burn off some energy this afternoon. Not me, mind you. I burned off a bunch of energy at 6 AM with my …

Like a School Girl

I have to be honest. For the last week or so I feel like I’ve been walking around with my head in the clouds. I barely recognize myself or my life right now. I’m so distracted it’s almost like I’ve got an innocent little crush. Moving to the new house seems more real now that …

May or May Not

We may or may not have shopped for produce at the little Wegmans in the Museum of Play today. She may or may not be more gentle with the fake produce than the paid store cashiers can be with the real stuff. This may or may not be the most ironic picture considering the girl …

No Camera, No Problem

December 8th, 2009 | Posted by Alison Spath in Late Night Craziness - (11 Comments)

The fact that I have no pictures from today is a true testament to just how crazy things are right now as we prepare to uproot our lives and move into a new house. Following my gym workout early this morning I took a phone call from a distraught breastfeeding mother only to have the …

Almost a month ago my sweet friend Cindy asked me if I might be interested in trying a recipe she created. I said “Sure!” and she sent the recipe to me, and that recipe has sat in my inbox all this time, patiently waiting for me to make good on my promise. Well today is …
