Since we did all our big renovations last year, I have been meaning to do an official reveal of the mudroom. The details of it took a little longer to come together, as we went through a few seasons using it, seeing how we fit into it. I’m sure there have been glimpse in photos […]

Going to school in the snow
It was officially 1 degree when my kids went to school today. There was snow on the ground and they were dressed like their cousin who attends school in Aspen, Colorado – minus the ski pants that they didn’t wear because that was too out-of-the-ordinary for their comfort zone. But they were wearing layers, fleece […]

Snow day!
The letter on today’s coffee cup is a C for COLD. It’s not every decade we have temperatures in the single digits here but we might be headed that way today. There is lots of hot cocoa and frothy coffee, and looking out the snowy windows. We made it out of for a walk to […]

Cooking, vegetarianism and family food battles
These are the few months where I don’t have my vegetable CSA to rely on, which dictates what’s for dinner. Therefore I have been enjoying trying new recipes and buying ingredients from the store to match a recipe I see in a magazine. I’m happy to be cooking. I really do love it, most days. […]

2014…so far it’s glitter, good food and big plans
The good thing about children getting older is they remember traditions, and appreciate the experiences we created for them in the past. The bad thing is when we don’t do them again, they remember what we did before. I puttered out on offering any New Year’s Eve celebrations for the girls. There was no horns, […]

Christmas around the house
For the first year, all the greenery in our home is real. Real wreaths, real accent trees all around the house, real garland inside and out and sprigs of tree trimmings in vases. It seemed like the year to keep it real, in so many ways. It was much easier than digging through boxes in […]

Winter birthday party full of crafts and fun
My middle girl turned seven Saturday. With cold temperatures, winter birthday parties can be tricky. Backyard parties allow the most guests for home parties. But in the cold, kids want to stick the inside more. This year, my girl recalled the hot chocolate and Frosty the Snowman movie party she had when was four. We […]

A Montessori Thanksgiving
These days, I’m feeling especially thankful for my three perfectly created, healthy, smart children. While I wish they could be surrounded every moment by loving family members, I do believe sending them off – out the door – to school everyday makes me love them even more. There is not a single day I take […]

A food re-org gives a fresh start for the new season
Like a good cleanse, cleaning out the fridge and pantry is good for the soul. I was in a food rut and I wanted to get ready for a new season of cooking. And with all the holiday cooking and baking on the horizon, now is a great time for a food re-org. For me […]
