Margaritas
Sorry for my unannounced absence around this space, we have had some family issues that have been very emotionally consuming. Today though, Russ and I dropped Lucy off with grandma and grandpa and we went and got some lunch and margaritas. Cinco de Mayo is a bit of a special day for us. It was [...]
RIP Beets
This weekend had a little hitch in it. We had a beet genocide of sorts happen in our yard. A certain little toddler gleefully pulled up every last one of my month old beet plants in about two seconds flat. The look of joy on her face as she was doing it will be forever [...]
Bread and Pea Shoots
This year has been a doozy for me so far. I usually take great pride in the fact that I (almost) never get sick, but this is the third time this winter. I have heard others in the mama group we go to saying similar things,many families seem to have been hit especially hard by [...]
A Simple Life
Knitting (always). Playing outdoors, in pajamas. Feeding mama freshly picked parsley. Egyptian liquorice tea, my favorite. Jasper. It’s days like today where I find myself feeling most fulfilled. I didn’t do much, but at the same time I did everything. As a family we enjoyed a few hours outdoors, just sitting and relaxing on [...]
A New Year
Monkey bread. Making deodorant (inspired by Drea). The view from my aunt’s house. Bread, fresh from the oven. New Years dinner. Happy 2013! I am so excited for this year. We got off to a bit of a rough start, both Russ and I came down with the flu last week and now it appears [...]

Things.
Umm….hey there. I have been feeling terribly uninspired when it comes to blogging, though I promise to change that soon. I miss my blogging friends. I have been reading a ton. I have finished nine books this month alone. NINE. I think that is more than I read all of last year. (By the way, [...]
It’s the Final Countdown
So I woke up Friday morning realizing that this was the last weekend before Christmas. Now it is Sunday, no more weekends before Christmas. I had a huge list of things I wanted to accomplish or finish before Christmas. It was stressing me out. I am hosting my first Christmas this year, and though it [...]
Snow and an Outfit
The days have been getting considerably cooler here. I know to those of you in more Northern regions 60 degrees probably sounds downright tropical right about now, but here in San Diego it sure feels chilly! Over the weekend I got an e-mail from an old family friend (who was my pre-school teacher!), and it [...]
Gifts and Stuff
First I want to thank you all for your amazing responses regarding my last post on vegetarianism. I plan to do a follow up post as soon as I have the time, but I just had to say that all your sweet comments provided a lot of clarity to me regarding the situation. I seem [...]
