My Love Affair With Europe (Part 1)

As I look back through my photos from our trip to Europe in July, it’s hard for be to believe that we have already been back well over a month. It was the kind of trip that I want to always rem...

Envirosax: The Bags That Changed My Life.

Have you seen these bags? They are absolutely amazing, and have made my life super-wonderful ever since I bought them two years ago. That may sound dramatic, but if you use reusable grocery bags of v...

Can You Put Up With Me?

I just managed to get two puns into one title. Call me done for the day. Just kidding…I’m not done, it’s not even 9am yet. I have been making my own jam for a couple years now, all ...

Dance, Parker

Please note the amazing vintage frock Parker is wearing…because it was mine when I was her age (minus the new crayon stains. those are all her)!   And some video notes: 1) Dancing is a new...

I Tried To Not Be A Blogger.

…let me start from the beginning. At least what I think is the beginning in the jumbled mess that is my blogging brain right now. I have been blogging for exactly three years now. At that time ...

The Weather’s Fine In The Summertime

This past weekend we packed up and headed just a bit southwest to attend a family reunion in Bellefontaine, Ohio. The weekend was filled with swimming, eating, catching up and relaxing. We all got ju...

A Picnic

Last Thursday, right before noon, I had an appointment to get my windshield fixed (thanks to a flatbed truck on the highway that was shooting pebbles everywhere). Instead of sitting and waiting the 3...

The Anxiety Monster Reared It’s Ugly Head. Again.

I had never dealt with anxiety before becoming a mother. But over the past thirteen months, it has crept in and out of my life, making me a shaky mess at times, allowing me to feel like my life is pe...

For The Joy In Seeing Them Grow

One of my favorite times of day is when I sneak outside after dinner to play in my garden. I walk slowly past all of the vegetable plants, pulling out any little weeds that have sprung up since the e...

The Grass Is Greener and The Popsicles Are Sweeter

Image via here (if you know the original source, please let me know!) Sometimes I get really caught up in the stress of a busy day. Take today for instance. I am starting the day printing out some we...

(Paris, Italy, Gelato, Love)

Family Photos

A couple weekends ago, we got showered and all dressed up to spend a Sunday evening walking around Akron with my friend and budding photographer Katie Tumino and her camera. I, of course, wanted to p...

Cloth Diapers: Q&A

A couple weeks ago I wrote this post about our cloth diapering experience, after doing it for a full year. I said I would write another post with a few more details (and answer any questions you had)...

My Blonde Haired, Blue Eyed Love Bug

I’m sure I’ve said it before, but when I used to daydream about being a mom, this isn’t exactly what I pictured. But somehow, our recessive genes took hold and this little blue-eyed...

The Beginnings Of A Garden

These were taken the first week of June, about a week after I planted my vegetable garden. The potted herbs and flowers had already been growing for a couple weeks, but the seeds had just sprouted. S...

It’s Been One Week

My birthday is in exactly one week. And apparently, that means March is over, and it has taken April, May and most of June with it. This past week was a blur, filled with lots of fun and just a littl...

My Internet Habit, A-Z

For some reason, I just got it in my head that it would be fun to click through the entire alphabet in my browser and see which sites I frequent the most. Luckily, nothing too embarrassing showed up,...

These Days

I get up early. I like the quiet of the mornings to get ready for my days. I pour myself a cup of coffee and sit quietly with my computer, checking in with my online world. It’s nice to not tal...

A Visit To The Farm & My First CSA

Sometime last month (I think…I can’t even begin to explain how fast this year is flying by!), my friend Katie and I spent a couple hours walking around Brunty Farms. It’s a local fa...

Saturday Morning Market Trips

We have been going to the Saturday morning farmers market for the past three years, as long as we are in town, and it has slowly grown into one of the things I look forward to most each week. We try ...

Cloth Diapering: One Year In

I vaguely remember being eight months pregnant at my baby shower and hearing whispers through the crowd as I opened my only gift of cloth diapers. The sweet person that got them for me couldn’t...

Backyard Farming

I grew up in the country, with a huge garden in my backyard. It was behind the pool, to the right of the small barn my dad built and to the left of the fire pit under the big oak tree. When I was lit...

In The Summertime…

Last weekend ended up being one of those perfectly magical unplanned set of days. Of course our Saturday was a little crazy as we rushed around to finish a couple projects in the morning before Parke...

Parker: One Year

A week ago today we had a first birthday party for our toddler who, a few days earlier, left being our baby girl behind (in the dust, I might add) . And because I took an extended break from bloggin...

Friends, Bonfires and Grilling-Out

A couple weeks ago some of our good friends stayed over our house for what turned out to be a really fun weekend. On Friday, I returned home from work to an empty house. I had taken the dogs to stay ...

Walking To The Farmer’s Market

A quick note: I am going to give blogging another shot, because oh how I have missed it! But this time I am not going to put any pressure on myself, so the updates may be sporadic! As for the person...

Rain Can Be Pretty

I have been on a bit of a personal journey lately, and part of that journey was to step away from the internet for awhile. The internet and this blog were starting to seep into my every moment, and I...
