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[...]

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[...]

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂

Visiting my sweet tiny niece. I had the honor of being the doula at her birth and helping her come into the world. Her parents did amazingly (especially her mama) and everyone is excited to have another little girl in the family.
