As I stood on the scale my mind wandered into resolution territory as it does every New Years Eve. I made a mental list of things in the running, eat healthier, read more, scroll less, yoga, meditate, drink water, stop all sugar and credit card use. The usual suspects. I searched the internet for ideas,…
Harveys Crossbody Bag Giveaway
Have I got a good post for you today. I wanted to pop in and let you know I’m here and well and doing a really good job this holiday season of not letting the holidays be overshadowed by stress and fatigue. One thing that has helped me stay on top of things is shopping…
Pioneer Woman Cookware
If you know me then you know how much Ree, aka Pioneer Woman has inspired me and this ol’ blog here, professing my love all over the place just a couple days after I launched the blog. If it wasn’t for Ree and her love for cooking, photography, Anthropologie and John Hughes movies, things may have…
Bearing Witness Project
School started this week and turns out the only one with homework this weekend is me. I have to sit down with pen and paper and write a letter to my 9 year old. A letter that will accompany a very unique portrait taken by Jason Watts and his 4 x 5 camera and 150 year…
Leaving the Nest
A few weeks ago while scanning Facebook I saw a post from the University of Arizona about a recently discovered hummingbird nest that was perched above a walkway, on the very end of a dangling cable at the new Environmental and Natural Resources Building (ENR2). They set up a camera within inches, allowing us to…
Downshifting
It’s that time of year, we’re half way through summer, actually we are more than half way now aren’t we, our circadian rhythm in sync with the dog days of summer. Forgotten are the days of lunch packing, carpool, soccer practice, tutor circuit. I have to admit a part of me relishes the slower pace…
Then and Now
Can I just say how weird it feels to blog? I miss it. Almost as much as I miss my cat. I’ve come to realize that in a sea of domestic duties, checkbook balancing and other parental responsibility that this little corner of the interwebz was more than a little side gig, it was my…
New York City
Doing a little housekeeping on the blog I came across the recap of my first trip to New York City just sitting there in draft mode. I wrote this exactly one year ago. Although I’m not exactly sure why I never published the post I do remember falling deeply in love with the city, its energy,…
Mini Chicken Pot Pies
Everytime I want something warm, something creamy, something wrapped in flaky crispy crust I go to my Chicken Pot Pie recipe. Its based off an old Epicurious recipe that included funs tuff like bacon and frenched green beans. All I really need to do on this one is make sure I can find a rotisserie…
Survival Mode
I survived. That’s what I want my t-shirt to say. The one I would wear so that when people I haven’t seen or talked to in a while ask “What happened?” I can just point to my chest. I had every intention of starting off the year with a renewed sense of purpose and felt…
