Last weekend was all about friends and food. We are so lucky to have met so many like-minded people here in Seattle. All weekend long we went to picnics and cookouts with vegetarian sprea...
While I love spending long weekends on trips or vacations, there is also something really satisfying about having an extra long weekend at home with your family. Ours was full of food and frien...
I’ve been waiting for a package on my doorstep all afternoon. Packages are a pretty common occurrence here, as we are both quite addicted to Amazon Prime and loathe shopping in person. Sh...
This was supposed to be cookies. I baked them again, Huey ate them again. I don’t want to talk about it. Yes, I am a fool. Moving right along to soba noodles! I have a major t...
I baked you cookies. And I was so excited to share them with you! They were delicious – Casey and I both agreed. Huey agreed as well – after he ate all two dozen… I had hoped to share the...
We made it past the half-way point, and so begins the journey toward one year. Completely, totally, and utterly hard to believe. Seven long months of joy. Long gone are the days when snap...
Another weekend, another race. I’ve been signing up for races that fit well into my half-marathon training, and I am loving the feeling of being back into my running shoes and the racing enviro...
There is no question – we are a foodie family. Casey and I both love food. Eating it, making it, shopping for it, and talking about it. Even so, I wanted to wait six months before r...
The thing about making and sharing recipes, is that you always like some more than others. I cook a lot of things that never make it to this space. I burn things, I make food that is ugly...
Last year on Mother’s Day, I was in Cincinnati celebrating with my own mom. I was 17-weeks pregnant at the time, but I didn’t really feel like a mom yet. Instead, I celebrated the wonderf...
Since we were traveling for races last weekend, this was our first real weekend in our new house. We’re just over the water from where we used to live, and while all of that is still very acces...
Between moving, traveling, and just trying to keep on keepin’ on with the whole parent thing – we’ve been doing a lot of easy, one bowl type of dinners here. Whenever I go to veggie restaurants...
It was a full weekend of racing for our family. We flew overnight from Seattle to Indianapolis on Thursday night. Friday afternoon we went to a race expo and prepped for the rest of the w...
For a race that was only thirteen miles long, it sure did feel dramatic at times. I realized when we were at the expo on Friday that I hadn’t actually run a race in two entire years – my last w...
It was the race that almost didn’t happen. But it did, and I’m done, and I’m proud. 13.1 miles on an 80+ degree day. Headed to Cincinnati now to watch Casey get ready to run 26.2!...
Hello from Indianapolis! Many months ago, I signed up for the 500 Festival Mini Marathon and hoped that six months would be enough time to train and get back into racing shape. Now just days be...
So after what was sort of the move from hell, we did eventually make it over to our new place. Our poor movers were so tired by the time they got to the new house. It went from empty, to ...
Wow wow wow. Remember me? I feel like I’ve been running a marathon. So last time I checked in, I told you that Cullen was sick, I was starting to get sick, and I still had a whole h...
Two nights ago I had my first scary parenting moment. I heard something weird in the baby monitor and just had a bad feeling. I ran up the stairs to check on Cullen, and found him throwin...
In addition to all the other fun we were having this weekend, we were also celebrating something special. Our little peanut turned six months old on Saturday. Half a year – hard to believ...
This was our last weekend in our current house! Friday night we drove over to our new house, which officially became ours. Cullen had fun crawling around the floor of his new nursery....
Hello there! Sorry for such a slow week. Things have been anything but slow over here, and moving preparations are ramping up and actually starting to feel real. We’re in that weird trans...
So we finally did it. After putting it off for the past two months, we finally broke out the baby spoons and let our little guy start exploring new tastes and textures. Even though I’ve b...
This was one of those great weekends where we packed so much in, it felt a lot longer than just two days. Friday night I officially became the last person in the world to discover the joys of I...
It probably comes as no surprise that I absolutely love grocery shopping. I probably like it a little less now that I have a grabby, shrieking sidekick, but it is still one of my favorite weekl...
I think it’s becoming obvious that I really like kale salads. I’m actually not a huge fan of cooked kale or kale chips, but I do love me a raw salad. This particular salad is a combinatio...
I had been looking forward to this weekend for months! Friday morning I was off to the airport to pick up my best friend, in town visiting from Cincinnati. Unfortunately, Thursday night I...
Casey has been traveling for business this week. I don’t usually talk about it when he’s gone, but now that he’s en route back to us I thought I’d share a bit of what the C-man and I have been ...
I know, I know. More banana bread. Even though I just made oatmeal banana bread last month, I felt compelled to make more. One of the recipes I get feedback on most often is my blue...
I have a tendency to always talk about how things used to be, or how I hope they are in the future. Rarely do I just pause and appreciate things as they are right now. I wish I remembered...
