downpour

The rain is coming down hard and swirling around in the street, rushing swiftly through the gutters. Inside our warm, dry house, I’m having a cup of tea and watching the girls play together, baking some russet potatoes in the oven, enjoying the row of candles glowing on the mantel, listening to some old 1960s […]

beets

Breakfast: diced root vegetables with eggs and herbs; tea. And a probiotic capsule. Going to a housewarming party this afternoon, hopeful that there will be plenty of good dairyless stuff to eat.

today’s wins

+ after several months, our contractor finally came back and fixed our non-working garbage disposal switch. Having a disposal in the sink is quite the luxury. So now that that’s done, we can move forward with tiling our back splash and being *done* with the kitchen remodel, finally. + our new Samsung TV is home […]

idiot box

Little known fact: Our TV has been kinda broken for almost two years. The screen is dark on one side when you turn it on, and you have to slap it around a bit to get it to clear up. If it’s on a while it kind of “warms up” and the picture shows up […]

seasonal transition

Too cold and wet for sandals, not yet cold enough for sweaters or scarves. We have been working on cleaning out our messy garage these past couple of weeks and it’s nearly done. A pretty large collection of bags, boxes, and misc will be picked up today by a donation truck, and then hopefully this […]

today

I did 20 minutes of yoga at dawn, it was good. Poured a half cup of coffee, didn’t finish it. I’ve started drinking herbal tea since my tummy troubles began. After taking Freya to preschool, came home a went for a 40 minute walk with Audrey through the misty hills. That’s four walks this week. […]

same love

I may have become a little misty eyed listening to that Macklemore song on the way to preschool this morning. Maybe because we’ve come such a long way. A song like that would never have been played on the radio when I was a kid.

smooch

Audrey is 15 months old today. She recently learned how to give kisses. It is impossibly adorable. She can “say”: Mama, Dada, Sissy, Kona, Sasha, baby, water, puffs, blueberry, book, teeth, nose, flower, diaper, bye bye, hi, song, and a few more. She understands many more. She figured out how to use crayons, so now […]
