Homebody Loves You
It should come as no surprise that we spent New Year’s Eve at home. I am an absolute homebody. I like my house. I like my books, my TV and my family’s tolerance for mediocre hygiene. I have to be a homebody–it’s in my job title. It’s not called a “drive-around-town-entertaining-your-husband-and-children’s-whims” mom. Maybe that’s just because the acronym stinks. “I’m a DATEYHACWM,” doesn’t exactly roll... Read More
Hitting P-Town
Or Pea-Town. Or Pee-Town…as the case may be. We took the girls to Portland today to stimulate the economy. Shopping with kids is a necessary evil. If I didn’t just suck up the fact that 85% of our time in the store would be spent pulling Lulu out from underneath her clothes-rounder sweat lodge or explaining to Gigi that yes, pink sequined mini dresses are pretty but not everyday mommywear, well, I’d still be wearing maternity...

Blogging With Resolve
Like many of you, I have some goals and resolutions for the New Year. However, I really don’t think you all want to hear about getting Lulu out of diapers (without having to rip out my living room carpet due to it becoming a biohazard), my reading list (Entertainment Weekly and the Bible, not necessarily, but probably in that order) or big projects that may soon be coming down the pipeline (which I promise is not another metaphor for potty...

Dream Date
..for Gigi at least. Lulu is another matter entirely. We had nothing on the agenda for the day and with it being Winter Break, we were free to go and do whatever we wanted. I got up and got my workout done as early as possible, followed by a green smoothie in a bowl, so we could attempt to leave the house before the next presidential election. spinach 1 scoop vanilla soy protein powder frozen strawberries frozen mango almond milk cinnamon Kashi...

Working Hard or Hardly Working?
Sorry for the absence today, friends, I was working hard. I’ve been putting in a lot of late hours on this big writing project I’ve undertaken and it’s to the point now where my brain is so fried that I turn to Daddy Pea and say, “Is ‘anytime’ one word or two? Is “two-year-old” hyphenated or not? Where the H did Spencer Pratt learn sex ed that he thinks a vasectomy is temporary?” Okay, you caught... Read More
I Have Sinned
In the beginning (or last night) , Mama created cinnamon rolls. And they were good. Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls (Makes 6 rolls) Dough: 1 cup almond milk, warm 1 packet yeast 1/4 c. canned pumpkin 2 c. whole wheat pastry flour 1/2 c. organic unbleached all purpose flour 1 T. baking powder 1/4 c. organic sugar or sugar substitute (I used Nu Naturals Stevia Baking Blend) 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice 1/4 t. salt Cinnful Filling: 1/2 c. brown sugar 1...

Smashing Posts, Picking Pumpkins
We’ve had a busy weekend, and I seem to have documented just bits and pieces, so I’m going to smash my two days into one fabulous mediocre post! First, I have to say that my back has NEVER FELT BETTER. Well, I’m sure it felt better after that one time that I had an hour long massage, prior to ever having children, playing “Piggyback Chase,” and unloading a 25 lb. reusable Costco grocery bag (those babies are HUGE!)...
