Shhh… It’s a secret! When we were looking for a house, we wanted to live some place where all of our necessities were within walking distance – much like our child-free pad in the city. Where it was easy to get to the places we wanted to be, in the way we wanted to get […]

It is officially summer. Time to hang up the soccer cleats and shin guards, dust off the barbecue, and air out the summer parkas. And that’s just what we did this weekend. Saturday marked the end of our official Spring pick up season which we commemorated with obligatory soccer pictures. It isn’t official unless it […]

I hope your littles take good care of you. Will grew me a sweet pea seedling, painted something I’m not allowed to open, yet, and made me a necklace. I made the family Molly Weizenburg’s cream cheese frosted cinnamon rolls. I’m looking forward to a long day of running about with my kids.

You should know, by now, that everything in our house is flaming with habanero infusion. We’re addicts. As I pondered which chili powder to use in the Sunset grilled chili lime corn, I very quickly came to habanero. Why can’t we seed and devein and pulverize them in the mutilator and slather our ears with […]
