Having two kids with birthdays four days apart was a really bad idea, not that we consciously decided to do it that way. Whatever you do, don’t try to get pregnant the same month more than once. As a result of this momentary lack in judgement, April is crazy crazy crazy. There is Easter [...]
I have been exploring new foods and ways of eating as part of the Gabriel Method.
This salad has become my favorite lunch. It is hearty and filling, dare I say comforting, and chock full of nutrition.
Well, it finally happened. With my son, it was only a matter of time. Today after lunch, he took my half full coffee cup off the table and poured it on my brand new couch (well, not brand new any more, but still, come on). I thought I was going to have a heart [...]
Ok, Ok. I know. Here is another one of those recipes that came out of the what’s in the pantry moment, but surprisingly it is really warm and comfy and the kids could not get enough of it, so I thought I would share. I promise I cook more than these wacky on a whim [...]

Nothing fancy, but a great way to use up the little bits of vegetables that collect in the produce drawer. You can substitute any veggies or meat that you like into this recipe and [...]

I think they are great too and usually make myself [...]
I know, I know, he’s only 18 months old, but it was still very exciting. After the whole poop in the tub incident, I have been watching Ian for signs that he may need to go potty while he is in the tub. Well, he grabs himself, of course. So a couple of times while [...]
Well, the living room is almost complete. All the furniture has arrived and we have moved most things in. We still need to accessorize, but wanted to live in the space for a while before we did too much. I need a couple of house plants, some throws and pillows and a new rug, but [...]
