Bartlett’s Farm Cookbook Giveaway

You all know how important eating locally and seasonally is to me and Chris, and how much I love summer CSAs, pick-your-own strawberries (x2!), and picking and canning ridiculous amounts of tomatoes. But I won't lie, it's taken me a while to ad[...]

Strawberry Things

I'm so tempted to post a Wordless Wednesday post, but I feel guilty for neglecting the blog so much that I'm not going to let myself do it.  So instead, I'll share pictures of pick-your-own strawberries at Bartlett's Farm and tell you what we'[...]

Picking

I finally had a few moments to look through the pictures from Saturday's pick-your-own at Bartlett's.  It was overcast and spitting rain drops off and on all day, but we couldn't have had a better time. (And the gray weather was the perfect ex[...]

Report Card

Quick Irene Report For our worried friends and relatives, we were much luckier than than many and didn't see a single drop of rain.  In fact, we woke up to bright and shiny skies that persisted through much of the day.  Most of the concern[...]

Strawberry Crumb Muffins

Adapted from Janae Monir See more recipes here While we were flush with strawberries after two weekends of picking, I also happened across a rather delicious looking recipe for Blueberry Crumb Cake.  Being the baker that I am, I decided[...]

Sunday Funday

Yesterday was pretty fabulous.  It started out good and just seemed to get better and better - and I'm talking about more than winning a $700 stroller.  Chris got up with Nora, as is our weekend tradition, and I got to sleep in until 9:00, whi[...]

Toddling into Fall

When October showed up last week, I was still in denial about fall.  It had been sunny and warm here (mid-70's) and though the weather man threatened rain all last week, none showed up.  It was a wonderful Indian summer.  Now, I love fall, bu[...]

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.
