One of the best things about having kids is you get to totally relive childhood joys and at the same time make all the choices. Example=Today at the farmer’s market I wanted pumpkins, so I made the lovely decision of having Elias pick out a pumpkin for himself...

One of the best parts about moving back up to the cities, is that one of my favorite places on earth is just a few hours away. Bayfield WI! Summer is not complete without a trip up to Lake Superior for a bit of berry picking. Our family went up a couple weeks ago...

A couple months ago I saw a girl whizzing by on a leisure bike. It made me want one. Really bad. She looked so comfortable and carefree complete with her basket on the front. Then about a month ago I saw not just one, but two, hanging in Tony’s grandparents...

Just a hodge-podge post about life today. We are deep in the process of trying to find our new home up north. Can’t decide if we should take a leap and go country style living or stick to the city. I bet you know which way I am leaning. And these magazines...

It’s summer barbeque time and the mission for good sides is on. Tony loves homemade potato salad so the last few years we have perfected our own recipe. It’s good. Really good. I’m totally unbiased. 🙂 A friend asked for the recipe to make for a...

I’ve grown potatoes before and they are soooo much fun! It is like digging for buried treasure. You just never know what you are going to get! I think kids would get an absolute kick out of it. Our garden space is so limited though that I didn’t want...

I went to a “Chicken Mingle” on Saturday! How cool is that?! It was basically a local place that was hosting an event all about raising chickens…in the city! Yes, yes, I would love to have chickens. For eggs. Then for meat. (Oh that does sound...

My whole foods grocery shopping continues. I went out to the larger of the local whole food stores yesterday, Pomegranate Market. They have a much larger fresh produce section than the one closer to my house. I was bummed though at their milk and cheese selection...
