I am not going to lie when Hannah and Jacob were moving in just weeks after Tony died with their TWO dogs I was a little worried about how I would be with the dogs.  They didn’t know me all that much, and it had been three years since Tony and I had to put our dog Ed down.  But because the big dogs name...

It’s funny how Instagram sometimes trumps reading blogs these days.  I know I am pretty guilty of that – I can follow along with all my “friends” quickly on Instagram, and if for some reason I missed their last 10 posts, I can see them all at once.  Mari is one of those bloggers.   Wow, she and I probably go back to 2009 or 2010? ...

I’ve done a lot of thinking over the weekend.  Maybe it’s just the whole transition of the remodel of the house that’s taken place this week that has me taking a step back and contemplate where I am in my life. It all started on Friday night.  I was meeting my Mom at a restaurant near my office and Friday traffic being what it is,...

I realized I totally forgot to show you all the loot from Cabot Cheese and King Arthur Flour in yesterday’s post! Veronica – that Sift magazine is glorious – as soon as I am done with it I’ll have to get your address and send it to you – you bake more than anyone else I know and I know how much you love King...

I am loving the comments on Instagram and the blog about the Whole 30.  The opinion is all over the map – some said that the restriction of certain food groups triggered weird mind games about food – others who normally didn’t crave anything until they couldn’t have it obsessed about what was lacking in their diet.  I am choosing to look at it in...

Jacob worked a lot this weekend so it was nice to have time to spend with Hannah because she was off all weekend.  It’s funny because going into the weekend we were both like “lets get a pedicure!”  But once we got up and started doing stuff on Saturday, we completely forgot.  Of course, we had to go thrifting.  Duh. I did not end up...

There seems to be some sort of construction on at least one road on the way to my office.  Earlier this week it took me 20 minutes to get through one intersection and it drove me crazy.  The guy directing traffic had no idea what he was doing – he was directing traffic regardless of the light signals, and when it came time for our...

I had a taste for oatmeal yesterday and saw this recipe on Pinterest for a cinnamon roll oatmeal and I was sold.  The only thing I did differently was reduce the amount of powdered sugar to a teaspoon and I added sautéed apples.  My picture looked like crap, so I borrowed the picture from the blog.  It was really really good.  But I can only...

I actually got up a bit early to squeeze a walk in before work yesterday, it’s been so long since I’ve done that.  The weather was overcast, but around 57 degrees – perfect!  And it was so calm – see how still the channel to the river is? I may have also jammed to Pitbull on the way to work – something about that song...

I finally tried my PBFit that I got from Sam’s Club a few weeks ago.  I tend to like my peanut butter on the smoother side, so I did 2 tablespoons of the powder with 2 tablespoons of water.  I smeared them on top of sliced bananas, and topped with my pumpkin granola and had an egg white “omelet” on the side with some of...
