One of my husbandly responsibilities is making the morning coffee on the weekends. It’s not a responsibility I take lightly. Making good coffee is an art I remember the first time I drank really good coffee. I was working at Lockheed Martin at the time, drinking some sort of stale, ashen brew twice a week [...]

How to Make the Perfect Cup of Coffee
April 21, 2012Happy Thanksgiving!
November 24, 2011As you are probably aware, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the food, the football, the Thanksgiving Day parade, the leftovers, and having our house all warm and toasty from the combination of heat from the kitchen and many people around the table! Happy Thanksgiving to you! I’d also like to share the following [...]
Biking to Work
September 20, 2011I started biking to work a couple of months ago. The first time, it was a bit of a whim. My old bike has sat fairly idle in the garage since I moved into this house, despite our house’s proximity to my office (a mere five miles). “Hey,” I thought. “It’s nice out! I’ll just [...]
Well-Loved
September 10, 2011We enjoyed a little time at the Farmer’s Market this morning and Jonathan bought me a beautiful bouquet! I am one well-loved girl!
First Spider
July 12, 2011This isn’t a first that many folks would recognize/record, but I thought it was delightful! Wednesday evening, I was preparing to head out for a run/jog and we were enjoying a little family fun in the backyard prior to my departure. I noticed a spider and pointed it out to Beatrice who watched with interest, [...]
Guest Blog Post at HBH
June 24, 2011Happy Friday Friends! Today, we are the guest bloggers over at Homewares by Hand . We made gelato in celebration of Jessica’s trip to Italy. Please know that we do not usually make ice cream/gelato at 7am. It’s just how things turn out around here sometimes. Since it would be cruel to write a post [...]
Beatrice and the Duckie Cupcake
March 26, 2011Beatrice loves duckies. We’re not sure how it started. It could have been her duckie blanket. It could have been her duckie towel. It could even have been her rubber duckies. But whenever she sees a duckie, she smiles and shouts Duckie! Quack quack quack quack! You can imagine her delight when Kelly brought this [...]
The most unusual breakup letter I’ve ever received.
March 13, 2011A few days ago, I got a letter from the Puget Sound Blood Center. PSBC is responsible for blood donation drives. I’ve been donating blood regularly for most of the last decade, so I’ve been in many of their sketchy vans and filled out many of their Scantron survey forms. The letter was in an [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
February 14, 2011This is possibly the least flattering photo possible, but it really is the best I could do. I hope it cheers your heart and makes you happy! Happy Valentine’s Day from us (please pretend I’m wearing make-up and Beatrice is smiling and didn’t bust open her lip this weekend; oh and please forgive the mess. [...]
Little Miss Sassypants
December 29, 2010Beatrice is not a fan of naps. She really, really hates them. In fact, when Jonathan is home (like today), she almost forces herself to stay awake because she cannot stand to be napping while we’re out folding laundry having fun! This morning, she very clearly said “No!” when I was taking her to her [...]
