Last year I wrote about the best Music, Books, Clothes, and Household items of 2020... and while those lists have their place, this year I really wanted to celebrate the moments. There were so many... and ironically most of them, I failed to capture on camera in anyway... because I succeeded in living in them.… Continue reading Best of 2021: Moments

The End of Another Season
It's been a while since I've really written. As with most Autumns in my life, this Autumns brought a lot of changes... a switch in the family I work for as the boys returned to school in person, full time, after almost 11 months with them. My own new classes, a new job for Nick,… Continue reading The End of Another Season
My Little Free Library and The 2021 Reading Challenge
That I decided to start in July... That's not entirely true. I'd set a rough goal back in January, but it wasn't until July when I realized just how little I'd actually read when compared to what I really want to read, and it lit a fire. So here I am, in August, trying to… Continue reading My Little Free Library and The 2021 Reading Challenge
Do You Still Care?
Checking in with myself and with you... on the anti-racist work we all started over a year ago. It's been more than a year since the protests started in response to the murder of George Floyd by police. Last summer was filled with every kind of protest and movement. People took notice and with COVID… Continue reading Do You Still Care?

You have 100 dollars and 2 hours to do something relaxing, what do you… Continue reading 20 Questions: 11-15 Getting to Know Me, even better…
It’s Been A While
I think it's easy to say that I may never manage true consistency in my posting. Unless of course we can consider my some what frequent blocks of absence a constant, in which case, I'm doing great. It feels as though a million things and nothing has happened since I last wrote. Politically speaking, the… Continue reading It’s Been A While
Adventures in Cooking: From the Freezer
Yup... from last weeks post, you’re probably thinking this is a big step down. I was inspired by game, balanced cooking, Swedish and French cooking. I was and still am, but I want to be honest about this journey as well. Which means being honest about time and about the things I’m learning to balance.… Continue reading Adventures in Cooking: From the Freezer
Adventure in Cooking: Inspired to Game
If you read my other posts you know that I went to the book store recently... Well I got a cookbook. I have a few others and Nick has a whole freaking collection, but I think this is only the second one I have ever actually bought for myself. It’s about Swedish/ Norwegian cooking in… Continue reading Adventure in Cooking: Inspired to Game
Spring Favorites Part 1
This is exactly what it looks like, one of those slightly cheesy and cliche lists of new discoveries in different categories, that I’m loving right now. First off is ‘For the Phone’ category: Shop app... yup, I know I’m late to the show and it’s SUPER big brother like. But it’s so damn nice to… Continue reading Spring Favorites Part 1
