We've been getting our CSA box for several weeks now. I knew I wanted to do this partly because it's in my blood to support local agriculture. But over the past few weeks this abstract idea has developed some concrete realities for me. I don't choose ...

When I was a kid, we had donuts on Saturday mornings. I always got cream filled. I remember swinging madly on our swing set probably high on sugar. Lately, I've been so tired in the evening, that I save cleaning the kitchen for the morning. I ...

I've got nothing else this morning. You really don't want to hear me wallowing in hormonally induced ineptitude. So I will share so many cool things I've seen around the internet: Maia's Hand Quilt via The Artful Parent , one of my top ...

One of my many mom attributes is that I carry snacks around in my bag, usually just pretzels or goldfish. This was exaggerated a little bit when I was pregnant; I carried meals, add in a couple peanut butter sandwiches and some apples. At the end of my ...
