    Blueberry Pizza

    This is another recipe created based on my need to use up what I had in the kitchen. Aren’t those always the most creative concoctions, after all? It wouldn’t normally occur to me to stick blueberries on a pizza crust but since we ‘re moving and I had to empty the freezer and refrigerator fast, [...]

    Healthy Food vs. Unhealthy Food: Easy Substitutions

    I hear a lot of families express frustration over the quandary they face when trying to balance time AND bring healthy options into their lives. “Freezer meals are easy, but I wish they weren’t chock-full of sodium. Pre-packaged foods are convenient, but have too many calories. We’re always on the go, and the quick snacks [...]

  • I Have a Flat Booty

    I Have a Flat Booty

    I have this thing about shoes. I love them. Especially flats and especially boots. My current obsession is this flat booty that I came upon over on Sole Society. The grey is versatile so this shoe goes with everything, and there’s no annoying heel to trip me up. Don’t get me wrong: heels have their [...]

  • I am the Same

    I am the Same

    When I was about eight to twelve, I had a recurring dream about my school bus driver. I was terrified of him, largely because he had shocking, flame red hair and blue eyes that seemed to peer into my soul. I didn’t want anyone looking into my soul because I believed it to be hopelessly black, [...]

    Baby Organization

    Babies can really throw off the whole organizational standards of any household. It sure did for us. As soon as Some Boy came along, our office/guest room turned into an office/nursery/guest room. Yikes. If you’re short on space (or just short on sanity and sleep), there are a few ways to maximize space and minimize [...]

Moving Out and Cleaning Up

[ 12 ] Jan 26, 2012

If you follow me over on Twitter or Facebook, you’ve probably picked up by now on the fact that our family is moving to a new home (I can’t stop complaining about the whole process). On one hand, I love moving because it’s like hitting the reset button on all of your stuff. It’s a [...]

A Jambu Shoe

A Jambu Shoe

[ 1 ] Jan 24, 2012

I’m smitten. I’ve been looking for a versatile, casual boot for quite awhile. The problem is that riding boots – particularly the tan variety – seem to have become something of a fad and now there are cheap knockoff versions everywhere, but none of them are reliable. I need something pretty, but also something that [...]
