“Why do they not teach you that time is a finger snap and an eye blink, and that you should not allow a moment to pass you by without taking joyous, ecstatic note of it, not wasting a single moment of its swift, breakneck circuit?”
― Pat Conroy… Continue reading
This week’s snack obsession in our house is raw goat cheese. It’s nutritious, delicious, and couldn’t be easier to prepare. Well, unless you’re making it yourself from scratch – we buy our cheese pre-made.
Raw Goat Cheese is high in protein and healthy, raw fats. It’s also good source of calcium, vitamin A, vitamin K, phosphorus, niacin, thiamin, and medium-chain fatty acids.… Continue reading
My 6-year-old makes art almost every day (you can read about it HERE). He has open access to a wide array of project supplies, a space to work, and full creative control over his art experience. His making art on a daily basis generates a lot of art. So much art, that we specifically set time aside to declutter his completed art projects (you can read about it HERE).… Continue reading
Springtime in the mountains of Colorado means that we’re as likely to encounter snow as we are to experience shorts-wearing weather. This means that our coat closet is currently stuffed to the gills with all sorts of light and heavy jackets. However, there are also items in our closet that shouldn’t really be there, such as some costumes and outgrown items.… Continue reading
Every year one of my dear friends throws an Opening Day party for the Rockies home opener at Coors Field. He invites lots of friends, and we all have a terrific time. I’m not a big sports fan, and I still have a lot of fun. There’s something about being a part of a huge group of people all cheering for the athletes to do well that feels exciting.… Continue reading
Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes is a very simple, but wonderfully put together book. In this book, we meet Pete the Cat, a hip blue cat who loves his shoes. The illustrations reveal Pete to be a hipster-esque cat, who walks through life to the tune of his own internal groove.
As Pete takes a walk outside, he steps in all sorts of things: strawberries, blueberries, mud, and water.… Continue reading
Food waste is a problem. A huge problem. It may not seem like much when we toss out some leftovers, whether at home or from a restaurant, or when we throw out produce that we didn’t eat before it started to go bad, but it all adds up. Researchers have calculated that the average person produces nearly 475 pounds of food waste each year (GRACE, 2015).… Continue reading

Have you had enough of plain hard-boiled eggs? Here’s an easy way to transform your hard-boiled eggs into a simple egg salad. It’s great for making sandwiches, adding a scoop to a lettuce salad for a protein boost, using as a dip for sliced raw vegetables, or simply eating plain with a spoon. Egg salad makes a great lunch at home or on the go.… Continue reading
I love avocados. They are a staple in my house, and I eat them almost daily. I add avocado to salads, to burgers, and to eggs. I eat avocado by itself with a sprinkle of salt. But most of the time, I make them into guacamole. When we had a picnic in the park the other day (you can read about it HERE), we took along homemade guacamole with us.… Continue reading
