If you still want a chance to win my old juicer, you’ve got until tonight to leave a comment on yesterday’s post. I’m still squealing with delight over foam-less juice. … Read more

Unless you’ve watched The Wiggles before, today’s title will be a little less meaningful for you. Go ahead click that link. You can come back and curse me later when you can’t get that song out of your head. Today is a rest day. Tomorrow will be too. I’m resting my legs in preparation for … Read more

No Rest for the Weary

Today is a rest day. I swapped exercise this morning with work on my never ending to-do list. Over the years I’ve signed myself to volunteer for various non-profit groups and organizations – all in my quest to keep my brain from turning to mush as a stay at home mom. It’s all good, but … Read more

Stolen Wishes

Continuing with today’s fruit for breakfast theme, I polished off a bunch of a cantaloupe as I got us packed up and ready to the head to the museum today. This was also about the same time that Ava learned the internet was down. I can totally relate, kid. So off we went to the … Read more

Today the girls went with Ellen, giving Zak and I chance to remember what the other one’s voice sounded like without the typical screeching and classic interrupting.

Someone Knew it was a Rest Day

July 23rd, 2009 | Posted by Alison in Breakfast - (10 Comments)

A totally soggy morning. How convenient I’d planned for today to be a rest day. Even the cats are taking it easy. Minus a little neck biting. Maxine was up early. Only to fall back to sleep. A leisurely breakfast cookie for me. And coffee. Time to lace up my shoes and get to work … Read more

Lazy Laundry Sunday
