An Old Fashioned Girl in a Modern World
In the two weeks that we didn't have a share (a break between winter and summer seasons), I found out just how much I missed the farm and all of the delicacies that come from it. I missed these things a lot. Which of course made it all the more sweeter when the CSA started back up again last … [Read more...]
Last week we had the first CSA pick-up of the season. I can't even describe to you how slowly the two week break between winter and summer shares went. Regardless, the share last week contained collard greens. I thought all week about what I could do with them. I figured I could sauté them, put … [Read more...]
As a Nuby Mommy Blogger I was given samples of this product in return for a review. C and G were super excited to see these sippers in our mailbox a few weeks ago. They came in perfect time, the start of T-ball season! Immediately they asked for me to wash them and after doing so, they … [Read more...]
In return for a post on the aquarium, I was given complimentary tickets for my family and I. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Last Friday, Ben took the day off of work, we packed up the car (okay, that's a little dramatic, it was really just a diaper bag), and we headed to Baltimore. We … [Read more...]
A few weeks ago, I threw cherry tomatoes in a pan according to a recipe that I was making for dinner. Ever since I watched them "pop" and sizzle, and smelled their terrific aroma, I have been dreaming of creating a fresh tomato sauce. After having received fresh asparagus and spring onions from … [Read more...]
What do I think about when I run? Recently, I had just kind of taken for granted the fact that running "clears my head" and hadn't really re-evaluated how much head clearing it does for me these days. While out for a run yesterday, one where I was coming home to an empty house (Ben took the kids … [Read more...]
For me, motherhood has always been a blessing, though how I feel about and understand the term has certainly evolved over the last 6 years since I had my first baby. When I first became a mom, I thought I knew everything...I would never let my daughter do this, eat that, act that way. I strove … [Read more...]
This is a sponsored post where monetary compensation was received for writing it. However, all stories, thoughts, and opinions are my own. This is me 20 some years ago...with braces (and a perm that didn't take). Yes, I suffered through a mouth filled with metal, getting my teeth tightened … [Read more...]
This summer I am growing a garden specifically to subsidize my fresh cravings. This cucumber feta salad is definitely one of those cravings. Simple yet full of flavor, chilled, it is perfect for a hot summer day! Who am I kidding? I ate it last weekend with friends when it was 60 degrees out and it … [Read more...]
Mother’s Day is coming up at the end of this week and of course, I am all about celebrating this holiday. ;-) One of my “things” is that I can’t stand when Ben spends money on flowers. Fresh cut from outside…wonderful. The potted hydrangea that my brother gives me that I replant every … [Read more...]
