Valentine's Day is Saturday which means preschool Valentine's Day party is Thursday. Last night we let our older son stay up a little later after dinner to help put together his valentines for his classmates. I knew I wanted to do a no-candy valentine and there are tons of ideas on Pinterest. I also knew… Continue reading Preschool Valentines
Egg in a (Heart) Nest
Egg in a nest. I'm definitely not reinventing the wheel here as egg in a nest has been around forever. I remember making it myself as a girl. I had forgotten about it until just the other day my older son and I were up earlier than the other two in our family. Since we… Continue reading Egg in a (Heart) Nest
Craft Drawer Organization
In my last post I mentioned organization and how I'd like more of it. There's one organization project I did complete over the holidays and I am pretty proud of the result. It's the "craft" drawer, aka the "drawer where you cram a whole bunch of crap". Right off our kitchen we have a set… Continue reading Craft Drawer Organization
Hello Again.
Hello there! I'm climbing out of my cave and thinking about posting again regularly on my blog. If you scroll down a teeny bit you'll see that I haven't posted since October 1, 2013. Yikes! So what's new with me? Well I am still a working mom of two boys. Not long after my second… Continue reading Hello Again.
Kale Pesto
While I've been on maternity leave I've really been enjoying going to the farmers' market on Wednesday mornings. It's something I normally can never do because I have to be at work. Big brother goes to parents' day out on Wednesdays, so I drop him off and then head over to the market with the… Continue reading Kale Pesto

Curtain Tie Backs
I suddenly have a bit of time to myself this morning and thought I would write up this blog that's been sitting in my head for awhile. Benzo took the big kid to an art class and the little one is asleep in the swing next to me. I should probably clean up the pile… Continue reading Curtain Tie Backs
Lentil Tomato Salad
I made this recipe twice in one week so it must be good. I originally found it when I was looking for a vegetarian main dish/side dish to take to dinner at my dad's house on Labor Day. My step mom asked me to bring a side so I wanted something veg-friendly that everyone could… Continue reading Lentil Tomato Salad
Paleo Flourless Zucchini Brownies
Sleep deprived. That's me. I was doing fairly well for the first couple of weeks. I kept thinking "this is amazing!" and "I can't believe I'm not that tired!" Then it all caught up with me this week. And when I'm tired I crave all manner of sweets. I saw this recipe fly by on… Continue reading Paleo Flourless Zucchini Brownies
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies
One of the lactation consultants gave me this recipe during our hospital stay after I delivered Little Brother. I made them within a couple days of coming home. Nursing has gone pretty smoothly for me this time (knock on wood) but I still thought it couldn't hurt to get a boost from the right foods. … Continue reading Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies
