The Heavenly CSA Share – May 15th, 2013

week1

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...]

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.

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 You Think About When You Run?

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.

Mother’s Day – 2013

mothers-day

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.

flower-collage-2

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...]
