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. […]
Mr. Sorta Social
My kid? The one with cute the toes up there? He’s growing up. Of course, you say. But with all of the outgrowing of clothes, his developing sense of humor and the rapid-fire knowledge he keeps spewing at me like a geyser, I saw the biggest change this weekend when […]
Four-day weekends go by too fast
Of course the two-day variety go by even faster. There always has to be *something* to complain about, yes? It’s easy to get used to day upon day of relaxation, though. Don’t deny it! So here are four days crammed into one post. I’m crazy magic like that. And this […]
So there was this Festival thing
I’m not sure why I never blogged about this HUGE event. The old Lori, who blogged all the time and was loyal to her site, would have regularly updated about the ins and outs of planning something like this. But now there’s Facebook, Instagram (as you can see), Twitter and […]
Two days away
What did we do in Chicago for two days? We braved the cold We visited the Museum of Science & Industry (and bought a model of the U-505 u-boat because that’s the newest obsession) We ate at Lou Malnati’s, where mom had a very nice gluten-free pizza We got up […]
Phoning it in
When it’s hot and sticky outside and your parents are talking about boring stuff like potty training, politics and turkey hot dogs, who wouldn’t want to settle into an adirondack chair in a shady spot with an iPhone and a buddy?
Lagging a little behind…Father’s Day weekend: Sunday
The Sunday of Father’s Day weekend was all about relaxation and spending some more time with K & C. We headed downtown to the Blue Bridge to put our chalk skills to work before hitting Local Mocha for smoothies.
Well, hello 2012!
Well, I’m finally getting to a post in 2012. Yikes! And in December I only had a single entry. What’s my world coming to? I realized not long ago that my online life has changed pretty dramatically over the past couple of years. My two places to be used to […]
Oh, for pete’s sake!
Every day I say, “I’m going to update my site. Yes, I am.” Obviously I’m not a woman of action these days. I have, though, been snapping way more photos than I had been. So at least one of my creative outlets is being nourished. I have no idea of […]
I want more days like these
It’s funny how it happens every year: I think, oh, yay, summer’s here! I’ll do THIS and THIS and THAT and THAT and LOTS OF THIS. Oh, how much fun I’ll have! I do indeed have fun. But there’s never the time I imagine that stretches ahead of me. I […]
