Baking + a new cat (yes, another one)
I have not, of course, been baking non-stop since September, when I last updated. I’ve had a few baking experiences and then came the holidays when baking went all out for a bit. Like with these little guys that we made last year, sans the outlines this time around. And […]
Cluck, cluck
Also titled “What I did with my Monday lunch break.” New school. New adventures. New parent-volunteer responsibilities. Enter chicken adoption. The goal? Sit in a circle with nine other kids. Wait for teacher and parents (like me*) to place ruffled-feathered (literally!) chickens in the center. Recite a poem or sing […]
A week in review
Let’s go backward in time, shall we? Today. This afternoon. I made this scrumptious smoothie. Peach-nectarine bliss. Sounds like a good name for it, right? I haven’t made enough smoothies this summer. Seems like a goal for the next few weeks. Perhaps I’ll have some more tasty photos to share. […]
Handy is not my middle name
I have bigger aspirations for things than what my actual talents can provide. But that didn’t stop me – and Dev – from tackling a build-your-own-shelves project. The first part was fairly easy. Buy the stuff. Sand the boards. Put the brackets together. Prime and spray paint them. Stain the boards. (Stinky!) Then […]
Playing catch-up (as I always am)
So most of my September posts actually featured photos and events from August. The delay is not something the very anal part of my brain appreciates. I used to snap photos and blog about my day on the SAME DAY things happened. Obviously things have changed a bit. To appease my […]
Oh, July…where have you gone!
Someone said just yesterday that it seems like it takes forever for July 4th to arrive, and once it does summer just speeds right by. That may be true. It seems like we just celebrated Independence Day. Which happens to be my son’s favorite holiday. Even better than Christmas, he […]
Local goodness
The kiddo had this Friday off from school, so I took a day off from work as well. I love when we have opportunity to just hang out together. The thought was that we’d go to a movie and just enjoy the day. Which we did. But it ended up being […]
Catching up with the Smiths
What have we been up to lately? Well, fall came and went. Luckily, we did get a chance to enjoy it before the snow took over. And? It’s Thanksgiving this week. That came up crazy fast! We hiked. We hung out with some dinosaurs. We did not visit the planetarium […]
Smashing pumpkins and making pizza
Can you tell school has started? It’s the time of year when I feel like I can almost hear my free time whirling down the drain. I don’t mean that in an awful way, really. It’s just that it takes a while to get back into the school routine and […]
