Sometimes, I write up recipes because they are an amazing success. I practically sprint to the computer and do it that same night. I’m so excited to write it all up. Other times, I’m writing up a moderate win pretty much to make sure I do better the next time. This is one of the…
I was listening to a podcast yesterday and the person being interviewed was talking about the importance of understanding what goes into all your food. Now, I’ll admit that my diet in the last couple months hasn’t deserved any blue ribbon awards. But – when I was standing in my kitchen last night opening and…
Ah the last day of our trip. When we started fleshing out this trip, I oscillated on whether we should stay closer to the airport … or in the city. We absolutely made the right decision on staying in Seattle. It enabled us to really do so much the day before – including an awesome…
I’m really glad that we came into Seattle the day before – instead of this morning. While we weren’t exactly trying to cram a lot of activities into Seattle… that extra breathing room made it easy for everyone to see what they wanted to see. I had last been to Seattle in 2010 on a…
The agenda for the day was certainly different from the prior days. We were beginning to scale back the nature and bring on the city life. Up until like 4pm we still hadn’t determined where we were sleeping that night. Do we stay on the coast somewhere and then get up early for Seattle? or…

It’s rather incredible how day 1 of a trip can be so exhausting – and this day 1 was giving me flashbacks to a 2013 5-hr layover in Amsterdam. That feeling when your eyes are just so heavy that it actually feels like you are wearing a face mask? Maybe it’s just me. But –…
I posted this picture on Instagram like a month ago for “National Siblings Day” because that’s apparently a thing. But it was right around when we were beginning to plan this trip! It’s been quite awhile since I was on a plane. But today is the beginning of a new adventure with my siblings. We…
It’s gardening season again. After the near epic failure of my cutting garden last year, it seems silly that I even thought it would be advisable to try again. Maybe next year I’ll learn my lesson and just let it be a dirt pit for Ruby May to roll around in. But alas, no lesson…
Spring is finally here – or so it feels like it. If nothing else, mentally Spring has arrived. I no longer want to wear coats to work. Bye bye puffy jackets! I made my first batch of sun tea on a very sunny Saturday and I’m dreaming of pre-work mornings staring at my tomatoes. So…
