Last Minute Holiday Gifts, Part 1

This post was going to go up on Friday last week, but obviously there was more going on in the world. I wanted to give current events some space and time – I was mostly unplugged over the weekend myself. It’s been hard for me to focus on the holidays this year with Baby Countdown [...]

Friday Finds 12.07.12

Photo credit: Brad Ford Smith Well, November happened. My mom was here and we drove a lot and did some stuff and suddenly it’s a week into December. Oops.

Friday Finds 11.09.12

Fun fact: we have a “vault garage” with no access other than the garage door itself, so when our remote stopped working, we had to call someone. Yep, I just paid a man to break into my garage.

Friday Finds 10.26.12

It’s been a good long while since I’ve done a round-up, so here are some things I’ve been reading this week. I love the weekly challenges Joanna’s been doing over at Cup of Jo. People often ask me what I think of dairy. I eat much less than I used to, and you don’t need [...]

Homemade Double Chocolate Grain-Free Power Bars

The two writing projects I have right now are this blog post (about chocolate snacks) and my newsletter for tomorrow (about non-food rewards).
