And We Shall Call Him George

I sometimes think I talk too much on my blog. A goal this year, that I should put on The List 2011 now that I think about it, is to take more photos and just put them on the blog.

Like this recent baby bunny rescue from one of the [...]

Bored Granola

If it were socially acceptable, I would eat cereal for every meal.

However, granola tends to fill me up more than Honeycombs class things up a bit, so I got on board with that instead. I *am* an adult, after all (I love you, Golden Grahams!). I sometimes buy gluten-free granola but it’s pricey, so [...]

Pumpkin Bread

One of my earliest memories is baking with my Mom (you should really first read about all the reasons I love my Mom). One of her specialties is pumpkin bread, a recipe she gave me right before I got married. She wrote in her scripty + neat handwriting that she had gotten this recipe [...]

My Neighbors Went On A Diet

Last month Neighbor Laura and her husband Aaron (Mr. Laura to you) told me they were trying out the Engine 2 diet. Now, the word “diet” makes me leery, but hey I caught some flak myself this year when I started to make gluten free choices, and knowing what foodies my neighbors [...]

Walk This Way

A few weeks ago I saw my Colorado photog friend Rick had posted on his Facebook page that he was at the nearby airport about to go up in on an aerial assignment. I cheekily wrote “Take a pic of my neighborhood!”

So he did and he emailed me the photo. Neato! My godmother, [...]

Killing The Cable

Confession: I’ve killed the cable.

I lived without television all through college; I was never home even if I had enough money for it. Then I lived without cable TV because it was a luxury when there were diapers to buy, so we instead relied on rental movies [...]

Thrift Store Thursday

Before I had a driveway to shovel snow off of, I had a snow shovel.

We were living in a tiny two bedroom apartment near downtown Longmont and I loved walking around the historic West Side neighborhood. Lovely homes. Reminded me of my hometown in Pennsylvania actually, [...]

Spring Fever

It’s getting close to that point in winter where I start to miss the warmth and color of the other seasons.

So it’s nice to have fresh flowers in the house. Especially tulips (my favorite).

One day after I had walked The Kid to [...]

Thrift Store Thursday

I don’t like matchy matchy. I do like old and new, modern and vintage, together. How do you mix things up at your place?

old: mirror from Longmont’s Serendipity shop. Under $50. Photo of my great-grandparents on their wedding day, circa 1930. They died a few years later in a car-train accident, leaving [...]

Pressure Cooking

I always hear about how cooking your meals at home, over dining out, is a great way to save money and save calories. And so for as long as I’ve been an adult, I cooked. I love recipes and cookbooks and my favorite magazine articles are often about food and, of course, the Food [...]
