Ten Things of Thankful – Thawing Out and Going Basic

No muse befriends, this week, really, friends – haven’t found much to post here. Maybe I’ve just been focusing my brain power on other projects this week. Anyway, better late than never, here is my list of thankfuls for the week. I am… Thankful that – for the moment at least – it is not snowing. Or…

German Fest in My Fridge

Ever have leftover CSA vegetables you didn’t know what to do with? In January? Yeah, this surprised me as well. But sure enough, just after New Year’s, I found myself staring at some leftover kohlrabi, turnip, and carrot and half of a huge head of purple cabbage. They were perfectly fine – wrap and package…

Every Day Love

I’ve been thinking a lot about love the last couple of days. For starters, there’s that rather large and obvious thing called Valentine’s Day that has just passed us by. Kinda can’t miss that. Love it or hate it, there it is. I can’t say we’re huge fans of Valentine’s Day here. We’re not huge…

TToT – Snow and Ice Edition

Is it really the end of the week? I’m not sure exactly how that happened. Maybe it’s because we had a three day week again…snow days Thursday and Friday and here we are in the very wee hours of Saturday already. So yeah, I’m so not prepared for TToT yet. I think we’ll wing this…

My Husband claims he is a kitchen disaster. I wouldn’t exactly call him a disaster. But his skill level in the kitchen is not terribly high. Although I really do think he shortchanges himself quite a bit. The Fab Hub has become an expert smoothie maker and he assembles lunch for me and Kidzilla every…

Soup of the Week – Cream of Mushroom

This week’s soup is no-frills easy, friends. I found a recipe for Easy Cream of Mushroom on Pinterest recently and realized it had been quite some time since I had a good bowl of cream of mushroom soup. Cream of mushroom is one of my favorites – provided it’s not the stuff from a can.…

Sleep

I had to put my daughter to sleep tonight. Like, actually put her to sleep as in help her to fall asleep. Zilla is usually very good about going to bed and nearly always falls asleep immediately and emphatically. Even better, she stays emphatically asleep for ten hours nearly every night. Not tonight.

TToT – Glad to be Alive!

As you may be able to tell from the title, I’ve had a couple of near-miss moments this week. So first and foremost, let me say that I am extremely thankful that the FIVE times this week someone in another car on the road nearly hit me in my car (yes, five) the result was…

Focus on Routine – Crafting a Plan

It is very difficult to focus on improving our daily routine when every other day is a snow day. Or a delayed opening. Or something. Seriously, how are you supposed to get into any kind of rhythm when there just isn’t even a beat to follow? And hasn’t been one since like…Thanksgiving? There has been…
