I love berry coulis...which is basically just a fancy-sounding word meaning mashed and strained berries (culinary wizards of the blog world please dont slay me for my lazy definition). Anyhow, Ive be...
Today we learned that my familys dog Tasha, passed away. My daughter and I feel so fortunate that just yesterday evening we happened to travel out to see my folks, and were able to see her and tell h...
{Image by Parker Fitzgerald - see his amazing Polaroid quote series here} Hello lovely friends. Today I wanted to take a moment to let you all know how very much each and every one you means to me. W...
During my recent trip to the Altitude Design Summit (as posted about here) one theme continued to resonate with me, and that was the theme of telling your story. Much like anyone, I have a past...joy...
I wish this post had something to do with this little photo of my desk...but it doesnt. So Im off to see another specialist again today (this one is a general surgeon for the very painful Ganglion Cy...
Its been scorchingly hot here in Tulsa for weeks now. We cant go outside or even breath (the humidity sucks the oxygen right out of you). Ive been brave enough to run to the grocery store...
Ive been a vegetarian on and off since childhood. My most recent "on" period spanned the better part of this last decade. I dont judge others for the food they wish to eat, but me...
It sure seems like its been too long since I last posted here on Carrying On. Thank you all for your loving words of support and thoughtfulness. We are still not to the bottom of my healt...
Hello lovelies! As you know my recent health has not been so great, and now with what seems like endless medical tests behind me (MRI, EKG, blood work, etc) I can finally give you a little upda...
Last night they were handing out samples at Whole Foods while I was on a last minute grocery run...and after one taste of the delicious honey-topped apricots I ran over and filled my produce bag with...
What do these things have in common? Well not a lot...except for that they were all a part of my day today. My daughter stayed home from school today with a persistent cough thats been botherin...
I love rain. So much of the time it inspires and invigorates me...but then there are days like today when its pouring outside and all I want to do is sleep. Since I cant do that (insert l...
About a year ago (maybe longer), I decided that I would make an effort to not just gulp down my daily cups of tea without a second though. That instead, I would enjoy the simple pleasure of sip...
Hello there! I hope you had a beautiful weekend. Ours was rather chilly and rainy, but we did manage to spend a wonderful day with my family for Mother's Day none the less. What did...
{photo by me} Hello lovelies and happy Friday! I thought I'd share a little personal review with you for this simple and tasty dessert my daughter and I found in the May 2010 issue of Everyday ...
Hi guys. Sorry I've been m.i.a. lately. I have to confess that my energy level has been pretty non-existent these past few weeks...so much so that even taking photographs (my favorite thi...
Hello there lovelies. Through Creature Comforts and Carrying On I am continually moved by our blogging community and the generosity and kindness of you (my readers). I haven't had the ple...
(Photo by me) So today I am off to the Dr. for a myriad of tests (try not to be jealous). I've had some long-standing symptoms that I am finally going to have checked out (no more pretending li...
Oot Oot! I finally got my hair cut and colored today. It was in such a bad state of disrepair and was very much needed. Other than the mountain of product that they slopped all over...
Okay...I am back today and excited to report that the Ricotta Orange Cupcakes (adaptation) was a success. Actually they were more than that. I can honestly say that these little morsels a...
I found this scrumptious looking recipe for Orange Ricotta Pound Cake over on Une-deux Senses earlier today, and after traipsing all over town (actually that was an exaggeration...it was only two sto...
My daughter and I love the Discovery Channel's newest show: LIFE. Have you seen it? If not (and even if so)...I hope you will take a couple minutes to watch this clip from a couple weeks ...
It doesn't take much to make me feel utterly content. Scrumptious mini cupcakes topped with wild violets from our yard, the most exquisite custom swan soft sculpture created for me by Lemmikkia...
About a month ago I decided that I wanted to try and put more effort into cooking. I was really sick of eating the same rote meals over and over again, so I turned to my favorite food publicati...
REDBUD TREES SEEN EVERYWHERE Hello lovelies! Well, we made it! We couldn't have made it without my Mom who so generously flew out to New Jersey a few weeks ago and then drove us for three...
One quote has been racketing through my brain for the past few days, and that is: "You must do the thing you think you cannot do" by Eleanor Roosevelt. Today I found out why when my daughter ca...
Since our move to the East Coast this past Summer life has felt like it's stuck on a roller coaster (with mostly downward dips). I could go on and on about that...but it's probably better if I ...
Hello there lovelies. Today I thought I'd start a little catalog of things that I'm loving at this moment. Then I can add to my list or edit it as time goes on. What things are you ...
Last week I discovered the site Just Make My Day, (similar in format to twitter) that asks the question "Who/What just just made your day?" Fill in the blanks and let the world know how your da...
