Zak and Ava are heading up to the cottage this weekend to get some things wrapped up for the end of the season. Zak was going to go by himself with his brother and mom, but then we thought Ava would enjoy it. Now that she’s older she’s much easier to take on the 4 … Read more
Don’t Pout Little Sprout, It’ll All Work Out
September 22nd, 2009 | Posted by in Breakfast - (12 Comments)My little mung beans have already started to sprout! After a few more email exchanges with my mom this morning I realized it was probably worth my time to take a closer look at the sprouting instructions that came with my lids. Wait. Read the directions? Imagine that! OK I promise I did read the … Read more
A Saturday full of non-stop action! I woke up this morning to a balmy 47 degrees and decided to post pone my bike ride for this afternoon when it was a bit warmer. Instead I warmed my hands with a pot of green tea. And warmed my soul with a bowl of banana chocolate fruit … Read more
When I first started to consider vegetable juicing, Zak was skeptical. He didn’t understand what the point was or what was so great about it. “Why not just eat a salad?” he asked. Well sure, you could just eat a salad, but you’d have to eat A LOT of salad to reap all the benefits … Read more
I was on the fence about running this morning since I ran yesterday, but then it was decided for me when Maxine woke up early. I spent the time getting caught up with all things house and life instead. It’s amazing how just straying from the norm for a few days throws everything out of … Read more
With the girls with Aunt Ellen for the day, I spent yesterday chained to my desk. A forgotten pleasure. I unlocked the chains long enough to make a big salad mess. A far-from-forgotten pleasure. A re-run I’ll happily enjoy day after day. Before the girls came home last night I ran to the marathon expo … Read more

Today would have been Ava’s first day at school. Kindergarten, to be more precise. But as the saying goes, she missed the bus. I’m very grateful that the homeschooling seed was planted in our minds early on because it took me a while to get comfortable with the idea. I use to resist the instinct … Read more
Oh vegetable juice, how I’ve missed thee! It’s been two days! Thanks to Heather I’ve been adding beets to my Green Lemonade lately, which turns the juice beet red (literally) and is now more appropriately called Magenta Juice. Brendan Brazier recommends in Thrive adding beet greens to your salads. Well if it’s good in a … Read more
I left my alarm set to 5:15 from yesterday and got up at the same time today. I got a ton done in just a short period of time. Amazing what happens when you will yourself to stay off your computer immediately upon rising. As soon as the sun came up I got dressed and … Read more
