Our recent camping trip has me dreaming of a pre-packed trailer awaiting my arrival home from the office – ready to drive off for the weekend, up the coast. Oh, to not have to remember the stove. Oh, to sleep on a warm bed instead of on hard, rocky ground. Oh, to be wind proof. […]
It may be iced coffee weather where you are, but it is not, here. I’ve never been one to get caught up in trends, so I’ll be starting my iced coffee tonight as it takes at least 12 hours to make. If you’ve never tried real iced coffee – I don’t mean hot coffee poured […]
A comprehensive list of Farmer’s Markets in Houston, Texas. In case you are in the area and hungry… Then wash it down with these wine winners from the Texas Livestock and Rodeo.
We had a windy fun-filled weekend camping at Sonoma State Beach with the kids’ favorite friends – Matthew and Toby. We got off to a rough start arriving at 8:40PM to pitch the tent in the dark, fighting 40mph winds, and ultimately burning a small hole in the tent when the wind pushed it against […]

Rumor on the playground was that most parents barely remembered to bring bikes, today, much less break out the decorations. But, they turned out. At high noon, the kids took to the 10 foot […]
Living in the inferno has us craving cold foods. We’re having arugula pesto salad to make a dent in the arugula that has been threatening to overgrow the house. The kids’ pasta was accompanied by clown faced salads of salmon (mouth), mushroom (nose), black berries (eyes), and red pepper (ears). Arugula Pesto – 1 bulb […]
I’m a sucker for suggestion. I’ve had 6 sewing projects sitting about in various states of completion for weeks. Most needed no more than a seam or two. One hadn’t yet made it from mind to pattern. Thanks to a good friend asking what I’ve been sewing lately, I was able to struggle through 4 […]
