A Day Out

Lucy turned one last Friday. I had been wanting to have a post up about her special day, but quite honestly the words have not come to me yet. Saturday we had a party to celebrate this little lady. There will be a post up about that later in the week. Sunday we were all [...]

Happy Easter

Easter is one of those holidays where after you have grown it really isn’t any fun. The highlight of the Easters in my early 20s was the Easter ham my grandma used to prepare. I love ham. Since I haven’t eaten meat for most of the past five years, I really haven’t had much to [...]

Midlands

Pardon my brief absence, we just returned from a four day vacation. We were visiting my brother and his wife, both of whom work at a boarding school near Santa Barbara, California. The pictures above are all from the school, which lies on 3000 acres of the most incredible land. I am still feeling a [...]

Christmas Aftermath

  Christmas in our house was beautiful. I, along with my brother and sister-in-law cooked the feast. We opened presents, told stories, laughed, drank, and were merry. As much as I love Christmas every year, there is such a big sigh of relief after the dinner is done, the presents are opened, and everyone has [...]

Five Years Ago Today…

Five years ago today, we were married. It was the hottest day I have ever experienced (117ºF). We threw the wedding together in just over a month and spent probably no more than $1500. It was the most fun day of my life. The ceremony was short, the party was big. We drank and danced [...]

Vintage Maternity

I didn’t mention it in my last post, but the due date for baby is April 30th, which makes me currently 10 weeks along. Everything feels so surreal to me. I haven’t had many symptoms other than feeling extremely [...]

Our Homeostasis

I want you all to meet two of the most wonderful people in my life. This is my brother Roderick, but we call him Roddy. He’s a cheese making goofball who loves rocks and fossils. He and I can talk about food until the sun comes up. This is his beautiful wife Kyle. She is [...]

R.I.P. Mildred

So sorry about not posting in over a week. I had planned on posting on Monday–as we were up in LA over the weekend, and I wanted to write about the trip up. Unfortunately while we were there we got a call that my husband’s grandmother, Mildred, who lives in Hawaii had passed away. I [...]

A Long Weekend

Hello all! I sure do apologize for the lack of posts. I had hoped to update on Sunday, but after my crazy weekend I had absolutely no energy to do so. The catering adventure went very well. I worked non stop for three days straight, with help from two amazing friends and one amazing husband [...]
