I guess technically it has been 13 months – not a sharp 12; but, I’ve been mentally writing this post for several months. The main way I’ve been reflecting about this is when two things happen. One? I put seaglass is the jar on my shelf. Two? Pretty much any time I go to Lowe’s.…
Today was a flipping home run. There was snow, there were cinnamon buns, there were good deeds and there was a grilled cheese for lunch. The long and the short of it is that I had friends coming over for breakfast and it had just snowed like a foot. The only solution was clearly to…
Today was a weekend snow day. The town is allegedly expected to get about 14 inches of snow which makes me feel a million times better about my level of activity. I’ve been sitting in nearly the same spot on the couch for about 5 hours at this point. But to be fair, I did…
Ugh. My baby brother is an unbelievable 18 years old now – and I just can’t handle it. I have no idea how this happened. All I know is that just recently he was tucked into a carseat in the back of the jeep eating butternut crunch donuts. For the life of me, I can’t…
It wouldn’t be a holiday if I didn’t make scones. I only wish I could tell you that I made these scones with discounted candy canes – but I can’t. I bought the candy canes full price from CVS about 3 weeks before Christmas and then they proceeded to sit on my stairs until yesterday. …
So funny story. I found this recipe for a pasta sauce over the weekend – and was instantly drawn to it for two reasons. One? Ina Garten was called out in the title. Two? I thought it took 11 hours to make. I literally was planning my day around making this 11 hour sauce. I…
While I had this for dinner, I might call this my new favorite appetizer. I will absolutely be making this again – and in literally as many seasons as I can. It’s kind of the appetizer opportunity for getting rid of the “extra leftover veggies” in your fridge. Except for the fact that I just…
I didn’t really do an excessive amount of things today – but I did get a few things off my to-do list. Reorganizing some of my pictures. Watched a Hallmark movie (or two). Ate leftover pizza … and took a walk through the Hoyt-Hall trails in Marshfield. I rarely find a trail that I am…
Merry Christmas Eve! Eleanor and I are currently in the middle of a long Hallmark movie marathon that has lasted for over a month. I started counting how many movies the other day and I can decide if I’m embarrassed or proud at the number. In my defense, I was on vacation for two weeks…
I never thought I would put pesto into a soup – but now I’ve done it … and it’s delicious. Turns out you don’t need a ton of ingredients or sodium for a flavorful soup. It’s pretty clear that I’m back on the soup train hard these days. One of the amazing things about my…
