Today my big baby items hogging up major space in my basement – items that have been around since baby number one – moved on to a good home. It was a really good home, to those adorable twin boys you see up top. I secretly (maybe not such a secret now) fantasize about having […]

This is what we’ve been up to today. Raking, smiling, helping, climbing, loving, and silliness with PJs included. I hope you’re having a nice day too.

Making Thankful Trees with children
As a board member at Lisa Ross Birth and Women’s Center I volunteered to host a craft table for children, at the 20th anniversary celebration that happened on Saturday. I wanted to do something interesting, using materials that didn’t cost a lot of money and even perhaps introduced some parents to the idea of natural […]

Tablecloths for the Montessori classroom
I’ve been known to sew all new tablecloths for birthday parties using enough children’s size tables to seat 12 kids with real dish ware and glasses, and tablecloths of course.

This Thanksgiving I’ll be traveling with my veggies
Let me start by saying I do not enjoy typical Thanksgiving food. I’ve never been a fan of casseroles, or turkey, or gravy, or anything cooked inside of a bird, or fruit that comes from a can or salads with marshmallows. I just like food to resemble food, in it’s original state. And I prefer […]

Easy, yummy, not-so-bad for you Cheesecake
I L-O-V-E cheescake. I love it so much that I’ll eat if for breakfast and not feel guilty one bit. Recently I finally, as in I’ve been wanting to read it for five years, picked up the new version of the classic 1970 cookbook, The Tassajara Bread Book. Before that I borrowed it from my expert bread-making […]

Stroller brigade to support the Safe Chemicals Act
This morning I went out to join other local moms in a stroller brigade asking Sen. Alexander to support the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011. It was chilly and I wish the turnout would have been bigger. But the event did garnish the attention of media, which will help in the awareness of this cause […]
