Greenery From the Garden

Over the weekend, I discovered a not-so-small gardenia bush in the far corner of our yard. We’ve been here for nearly a year, and I had idea it was there! I now think that these sweet-smelling blooms...

Apple Chips

Ah. It’s Friday. Now that the days are longer and the weather is warmer, I’m looking forward to the weekends just a tad bit more, if that’s even possible. We’ve been riding our bikes to the beach a l...

Hi.

Two months since my last post. Two. Months. What can I say? Life has been happening, and final papers, and a new business, and swim lessons, and beach time, too. I finished my semester, two A’s. Yay!...

In St. Augustine

I was on Spring Break last week, and all that really means is that I didn’t have to spend Thursday night and Friday in class. But was nice not to have to really be anywhere. Plus, Chris took Friday o...

New Favorite Smoothie

Yep, a smoothie recipe again. It’s hot out already, so it’s totally justifiable, says me. I’ve grown tired of the whole smoothie-for-breakfast thing, but have been enjoying this one as a little treat...

Mixed Berry and Banana Pancakes

Hi, hi. It’s been a while, no? Have just been busy with school, and life, and various things. But I am still very much into my little space here, really I am. Because the weekdays have been extra bus...

Levi Talks

Yep, he does. My handsome honey is talking. ‘Tis the most precious sound. We were doing a little “art” on his easel yesterday, and my gram is in town visiting. Has been so refreshing to have her pop ...

Homemade Honey Vinaigrette

  Over the last few months I’ve been mixing our salad dressings myself. I think started when all of the salad dressings we had in our refrigerator were past their expiration dates, and then I ju...

Strawberry-Banana Smoothie

For the last month or so, save one week due to some especially cold weather, Black Hog Farm has been delivering these gorgeous strawberries with our weekly bundle of produce. And you know what? Levi ...

Let’s Chat

Over an iced coffee. I really miss this place. I had no real intentions when I started this blog. I hardly even knew what a blog was. Seriously. But. It’s turned into this really cathartic exercise w...

Lately: Cooking and Other Things

Hi. Just popping in. The last couple of weeks have been non-stop doing and going and it’s likely to stay that way, I’m ‘fraid. On the upside, though, I am so, so grateful for a rockin’ support system...

Reading Wish List

I’m often in the middle of several books at once, which I think is mostly because there are so many interesting ones circulating at once and I never want to miss (or forget about) anything good. It’s...

Post-Holiday Detox: Smoothie Inspiration

Now that all of the holiday candies and cookies are gone, I am ready to chuck the sugar and get back to foods and treats of the healthier variety. You see, I have zero self-control when it comes to s...

Have a Happy 2012!

This year is sure to be an adventure. I am hoping to finish my graduate program (and possibly go back to work?) and Chris has just launched a new business. Plus, Levi just keeps getting bigger. Oh, a...

Playing Photographer

Since I started blogging I’ve really enjoyed learning a little about  photography and graphic design. I still don’t really know much and have actually made a bit of a resolution (which I never d...

Christmas Weekend

Merry, merry! Chris is off this week, and I must say that I’m not hating our lazy mornings snuggling with Levi and waking up just a little slower than normal. We don’t have much of anything planned t...

This Time Last Year: Levi

Look how much he’s grown since last Christmas. Nine weeks old and just beginning to sleep longer stretches at night.  Such a little guy. Fourteen months old and looking like a full-on little kid...

Inspired: Decorating with Holly

We have two Florida holly trees in our yard. The one in the back is nice enough to look at, but the one in the front yard is pretty overgrown and Charlie-Brown-Christmas-tree-l ooking (on a much large...

At Home: Making Merry

I do love seeing how everyone decorates for the holidays, in person or here on the Interwebs. This year, though, we decided to forgo a real tree in favor of a small, pre-lit one that we already had, ...

Mighty Nest, Etc.

You know, when the semester ended a couple of weeks ago I had this vision of having all of this “free” time that would of course translate into more time spent here. Now, I’m certainly feeling less b...

Just Like The Devil Wears Prada

Did you happen to see that Mr. Schuman of The Sartorialist is hiring an assistant?! I’m not quite sure how, but I kind of forgot to mention this. The moment I saw that post I was all completely up on...

Bathtime

I said I would be back with something that did not involve photos of my little boy, but I couldn’t resist. Can you really blame me? Someone is thrilled to be naked. And to have a chair to climb. Clap...

Cloth Diapering: The Sequel

Or something like that. I’ve received several emails lately from friends, friends of friends, readers asking about the cloth diapering routine. Is it a lot of extra effort? What kind do we use? How e...

A Christmas Story (Not the Movie)

Another photo snapped by friend Lauren, who I mentioned in my previous post. I just switched it to black and white and added some text in Picnik, then sent it off to Ritz for printing. Their system a...

My New Favorite Photos of Levi

Snapped by my friend Lauren, who really should have a blog of her very own, last Friday in front of our house. Have a lovely.

Holiday Shopping: Uncommon Goods

This year (finally) our family has agreed to tone down the gift giving. I’m pretty sure that the down economy and its ripple effects have reached nearly everyone. Plus, our family just keeps growing ...

Walking, Thanksgiving, Et al.

Um, hi. Apparently I haven’t been here in a while. You either? So my guy is walking now. Walking, I say. And climbing into dishwashers. Naturally. Don’t worry, people. He was only there for about fou...

A Few Favs from the Wedding Weekend

My sister got married at The White Room in St. Augustine last weekend. It was beautiful, of course. The ceremony was on their third floor rooftop deck and had a dreamy view of the channel and all of ...

New Fav: Essie Top Coat

I haven’t painted my own nails since, oh, I was a teenager. Yes, really. When I was working and until somewhat recently, I would splurge on a mani/pedi once a month or so. However, before we moved in...

Local: Raising Healthiest Kids Workshop

Remember that workshop I went to a few months ago? I shared some of the information on the blog.(You check the posts under the healthy living label.) Well, I just received an email saying that Dr. Co...
