TToT – Simple Practicality
There is nothing quite so satisfying as practical wisdom. While I suppose it’s presumptuous to call myself “wise,” I can at least admit honestly that I found several occasions this week that called for some practical application of knowledge and somehow I got it right! And in the spirit of being practical, I need to…

FTSF – Success Begins in the Grocery Store Checkout Line
Last week, we became those people. I had my first inkling in line at the grocery store. As I waited for my turn, I thought about all the things we had going on that week. Appointments, classes, homework, meetings, events…plus regular school and work hours. The line moved forward and I reviewed my menu plan…

TToT – The Blooming
I finally have pictures of our trees. The dearth of visual evidence of spring here hasn’t been for lack of trying. Well, OK, it has been for a little lack of trying. I can’t say I always remember to take my phone or camera with me when I take my walks, but I’m choosing to call…

How to Live with Special Dietary Needs
I’m a travelling expert today. What do you do when your child has a food allergy or sensitivity? When they react adversely to food ingredients? You figure out how to avoid them. And doing that is actually pretty simple. Our Zilla can not consume artificial food dyes. Well, she can, but the results are not…

Hello, friends! Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and/or Happy Spring to all of you! While Zilla and I are celebrating Easter Week, this week is also Passover for the Fab Hub. I’m working on a traditional Passover favorite – matzah ball soup.

Soup of the Week – Green Soup Surprise and a Side Car
Life is full of surprises, isn’t it? Just about the time we felt sort of confident about the arrival of spring, temps dropped into the ridiculous range. Despite the warm temps today, the wind blew cold and the forecast says snow again. It may be just “a quick clipper,” but still. No matter the temperature, though,…

An Acuteness Of The Senses
I do not make it a habit to use this space for rants and complaints. I am not suggesting that I never talk about things that bother me. Of course I do. But today I’m feeling a bit lousy and I just want to say so. I feel lousy.

FTSF – It’s Not Easy Eating Green
When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, I don’t have much to say on the topic. My Daughter, however, has a bit of an opinion – YUCK! It’s not the holiday she has a problem with. It’s the green. When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, all the food is green. Green milkshakes. Green candy. Green…

TToT – The One With All The Excitement
This has been an exciting week. And it’s not over yet, so I’m squeezing this in to make sure I make it to the TToT party before I’m off again. This one’s moving fast, friends, so hang on… My first-ever guest post over at Pat DiCesare’s blog went so well. I am thankful for the…

TToT – Coldness and Light
I do not like the short dark days of winter. OK, I really just don’t like winter. I can handle cold if it means above freezing. I don’t mind snow if I’m inside and it’s not in the double digits of measurable snowfall. But when the temperature reads in the single digits and the snow…
