Things are still going well. Aside from a minor pest set back (tomato worms) we are still going strong. Our Sun Gold baby tomatoes are going crazy. Thanks, Erika!! The lemon cucumbers have started to produce as well. We spotted our first squash today. Herbs looking herby. Pepperoncinis looking peppery And the master Gardner. Maybe a little a help from… Read more →
Gallstones Shmalstones
I get a comment about once a week about my weight loss so I thought I would post about it for those of you who haven’t heard this speil. Its not a serious drop, but since I’ve hovered around the same number for the last 4 years, I guess its pretty noticeable. About a year ago, I would randomly get… Read more →
July Clean Up Challenge
Organized snack cabinet, baking supply cabinet (flour still to be wiped down), threw away old or questionable food, and cleared out bottles and all baby paraphernalia. Except pacifiers, of course. Not a major clean out, but it’s an improvement. First month, down! Read more →
To Do List for Year 33
Its my 33rd birthday tomorrow and to do something fun, I thought I would make a list of things to do over this next year. Some are home improvement, some are things I’ve never done and really want to accomplish, and some are just self improvement. I was sort of inspired by my Instagram “photo a day” challenge back in… Read more →

Father’s Day
Father’s Day was a very casual affair this year. I invited my in-laws and parents over for pizza. Everyone brought a side dish and it turned out to be one hell of a dinner! We stuffed ourselves, exchanged cards, kids played and we had a very nice evening. Henry got some clothes, a handmade card, and a funny interview by… Read more →
River Cats – June 15, 2013
Last weekend we took Alex to a River Cats game. First off, I want to note that an outing with a 3 year old is SO MUCH easier than having both kids. He really is an easy kid. We dropped the diva off at my folks’ house and got to have a nice lil date with the boy. It was… Read more →
Mother’s Day
This is a little late, but Mother’s Day is always worth the recognition no matter what. It was a mish mash of a holiday since we threw Chloe’s birthday party the day before. Its a little challenging to throw two parties back to back. But with a few loads of dishes in the dish washer and a well stocked fridge,… Read more →
Fun Filled Family Fiestas
Last weekend was all about family. Saturday night was my Grandfather’s 95th birthday. NINETY-FIVE. Holy crap. Aside from his eyesight, he’s doing amazingly well. My Uncle Stan was in town from San Diego, so that was extra cool. He made sure to get in some cuddles with Chloe. She will oddly sit still if you read her some books. Alex… Read more →
