Today, I’m going to talk about one thing: sewing. Not only have I been actually doing it, but I’m actually making things that don’t look like they were sewn in home economics class. Yes! Ten points for housewife challenge number four. My latest and most thrilling project?A curtain for Nora’s play kitchen. Isn’t it adorable? In “researching” play…

Wonderful delicious food that I will be sharing with you throughout the week, because I have a backlog of recipes: sea bass with roasted fennel, carrot, and potatoes; rice pudding; strawberry crumb muffins; and white lasagna. We’ve been eating really well around here, enjoying summer fruits as side…

I love being able to type the words “another good week.” Because it was another good week, and I feel so content looking back on it. I got some yoga in – even if it was 15 minutes here and there with a toddler climbing all over and under me. I dug Nora’s toddler car…

What Do You Do All Day?
Time is a really interesting thing. When I was still working outside the home, it felt like the hours, days, and weeks just flew by. At work, I would be so engrossed in what I was doing, I sometimes had to set a reminder to pop up on my computer and tell me to go…
