I had some friends and their babies over for lunch this week {SO much fun!} and made this healthy mix of a salad to serve. I hope I am not offending any distinguished Moroccan chefs by calling this Moroccan-inspired. I love the addition of dried fruit and nuts to any dish and this salad combines [...]

Have you ever smelled a paperwhite? They are easy-to-grow bulbs perfect for windowsills. They have a strong fragrance – and that fragrance reminds me SO MUCH of my grandmother’s house.

I spent most of Saturday afternoon working (just got on a roll!) so today I was able to take a few hours to catch up on my baby reading. I need to take this as seriously as I used to take my college reading, but it still feels like a luxury to read in the [...]

I’m having one of those crazy spastic days where I don’t know what’s going to happen next with myself! Take the KERF comments for example. I tested a new plugin, decided it wasn’t 100% perfect, uninstalled and am back at square one. Although I did green-up the admin comments so hopefully they are easier to [...]

Sniff sniff. Do you smell any testosterone? Nope. Just womanly smells of perfume, potpourri, and Aveda candle! Karen and I had a dinner party tonight without Matt, who is still playing cowboy up in Montana.
