If your neck of the woods is anything like ours, your days are sunny, dry, and HOT. 90 degree weather does not inspire me to turn on the oven. So today instead, I have a favorite little treat that is sweet and fun and requires no baking. Enjoy these Butterscotch Oatmeal Bites! Here’s what you’ll […]
Writer’s Memo: I am currently taking a wonderful class called the Colorado Writing Project. As part of this, I have been playing with words a lot. Poetry is one of my favorite forms to write. This poem captures a new mom (me) just a week or so home from the hospital with her new baby […]
This isn’t really a recipe, just more of an idea. A yummy one. A couple or three or six years back, I made myself a New Year’s resolution to eat more whole grains. On some days, like this one, I feel masterful at this. Many other days, I pull out a head of romaine and […]
Harper Grace, you have been alive for a decade. Wow! Just as you amazed me from the moment you arrived, you continue to amaze me (and your dad and all of your family). I watched you this evening, carrying on conversations about all kinds of things. You, with your tall elegance, held your presence in […]

After a sweet morning with the herd, we left Stowe with an eye on lunch. And what better to have for lunch than ice cream? Our first visit was to Ben and Jerry’s in Waterbury. This is the site of the original Ben and Jerry’s factory. Though it’s closed for tours until later this month […]
Another school year is in the books. Last Thursday, we closed up shop on second grade (Jameson), fourth grade (Harper), year seventeen (Jason), and year sixteen (me). The year was, again, a strange one. It was fast, yet so many memories seem like decades ago. Jason and I are proud of our kiddos, who succeeded […]
We stole off to start summer. More to come when we return. Happy Memorial Day weekend. I hope it brings rest, family, and high hopes for the season ahead.
