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[...]

End of the SNAP Challenge

I'm catching up with my end of the year work and realized I never wrote a final post for our Food Stamps Challenge.  It also just so happens that today we were in the newspaper; the Gillette News Record ran a story about our chall[...]

SNAP Challenge Week 1

The first week of our SNAP Challenge went well.  We only spent $87.89 at the grocery store and actually have quite a few things leftover so I am going to try to delay shopping until Friday.  You can see what we bought and what the price breakd[...]

The SNAP/Food Stamps Challenge

We are, understandably, budgeting a little tighter this month and one of the first things we decided to reign in is our grocery bill.  To be honest, we haven't been doing much food budgeting since we moved here at the end of February (desp[...]

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.

The best thing about having a king sized bed is having space for cuddle bugs.

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.
