Vegetarian Polenta Casserole (Freezer Meal Recipe)

I'm in a local moms group and one of our newest activities is a freezer meal swap.  Last week, we had our first swap and it has been awesome to have ready-made homemade dinners waiting in my freezer.  I loved that I was able[...]

Rhubarb Cupcakes + Nora is 4 1/2!

Last Thursday, Nora turned four and a half.  Looking at this picture, I can't help but think how wise she is -- some of the things she says to me are just amazing, and I wonder how can she only be 4 1/2?  But other moments I find[...]

Chocolate Whole-Wheat Waffles

One of the less realized impacts of Chris' crazy schedule back in Wyoming was that we had moved away from cooking and eating big breakfasts together as a family.  Since we never had dinner together on Nantucket, we had developed a giant[...]

Buttermilk Biscuits + Our Lovely New Kitchen

I am in love with our new kitchen. It's light and bright.  It's big and spacious.  It's the first kitchen we have ever had that actually fits every one of our appliances, kitchen tools and cooking utensils, with room to spare.[...]

Red, White, and Blue Double Strawberry Shortcakes

We are out having lots of Fourth of July fun, (here's a sneak peek) but I thought I might actually plan ahead and have a blog post appear anyway.  (Imagine that!)  This delicious little cupcake is what the big people in our[...]

Blueberry Lemon Cream Pie

Today was the first full day Chris had off in months.  We slept in, ate pancakes at 10:30, then met the inspector at our almost new house (all's well on that front), and spent a bunch of time together as a family.  Chris got l[...]

Chocolate Velvet 3.14 (Pie)

If you're nerdy like me, there is only one way to celebrate March 14th, a.k.a. ∏ day. And that's with a delicious homemade pie, of course.  I almost baked a "healthier" fruit pie (the kind that I have been known to also le[...]

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.

Yesterday we got our first taste of summer. It was warm enough that we got out the sprinkler in the afternoon. I worked most of the day but had a nice break for a couple hours in the afternoon during which I sat outside listening  to music and watching the 4 of them dance in the yard. I couldn't ask for much more on a Monday.

Walking around the neighborhood with Z and I'm reliving my first experience with entrepreneurship: @girlscouts cookie sales. My mom was our troop leader (all the way through Juniors) and I remember our garage piled high with boxes and boxes of cookies. 

It's fun watching Z try her hand at sales. She is fearless and no problem describing every cookie to complete strangers. Despite having never done it before, she has an incredibly aggressive goal of selling 1500 boxes of cookies. If any kid can do it, though, I think she can.
