The second Chicago visit
Ok, this is really not the second one. It’s actually the fourth! It’s just that I had two visits within the space of one week, which isn’t normal. Four visits in one year isn’t normal either. But I’ll...

A cat and some breadsticks
Cats. I love them. Sometimes, though, they can be incredibly frustrating (as any human or other animal can be, I’m sure). Such as this morning when I was walking around in the dark looking for my gym...

It’s the dog’s turn!
Not my dog, in this case. The one featured here is my mom’s tiny but mighty canine. Her adorable self is named Abby. Of course I think my kid is fairly adorable too. So included some photos of him in...

Playing catch-up (as I always am)
So most of my September posts actually featured photos and events from August. The delay is not something the very anal part of my brain appreciates. I used to snap photos and blog about my day on the...

Is it possible to have too many cookies?
Some people would say yes. I might have said yes at the end of the sessions. And yet it’s nice to have a lot of tasty gingerbread people cooling their heels in my freezer. If you can believe this,...

Frozen
I’ve lived in Michigan nearly all my life, yet somehow I’ve never managed to visit the lakeshore during the winter. This weekend the idea struck me for some reason. And when I brought it up to Scott he...

Let’s make a cake!
My kid has this thing about cakes. A couple of months ago he asked me to buy a yellow cake mix. “Let’s make a cake, Mom!” Yeah. Sure. OK. Fine. It wasn’t bad. But the baking fan in me struggled a bit...

What did you do for Valentine’s Day?
We got a cat. Probably the least-romantic thing to ever happen to my husband. But the little rascal sure is cute. Sadly, the only reason we were able to bring this fluff ball home is because we had an...

Handy is not my middle name
I have bigger aspirations for things than what my actual talents can provide. But that didn’t stop me – and Dev – from tackling a build-your-own-shelves project. The first part was fairly easy. Buy...

We’ve dubbed these the Poop-tastic cupcakes
Yes, yes, childish humor, I know. But Dev and I both agreed that our novice attempt at being creative with chocolate frosting slightly resembled dog poo. You’ve seen, I’m sure, those lovely photos of...

Cats on my desk
One of my favorite photos I ever took was when my cat Maggie, who just walked into the office and is heading for my desk as I type, was hanging out on my desk while I was trying to work. It seems to...

Meatloaf and (not) mashed potatoes
Let’s start with the fact that any cooking project I embark upon is never a solo venture. There is always at least one furry friend about. If not all of them! Loki plopped himself in the midst of the...

Eggcellent!
Yeah, I’m that kind of dork. My son is actually thinking of calling this science fair experiment the Eggcellent Egg Drop. So it runs in the family. Lesson learned: let him choose one that’s messy and...

Escape artist
I unwittingly created a habit when we first got the new feline. In trying to get him comfortable with the formidable Nick Furry – well, actually, the other way around – I gave Loki and Nick treats one...

Random photos of spring
The crazy boy and his new apple tree – snapped this so we can compare sizes later! He’s so photogenic. Thus there will be so many photos of him. :) Mr. Gnome returns!

What’s my theme?
I was looking through my Instagram stream the other day and it’s apparent that I have three go-to subjects when it comes to photos. 1. Cats! Everywhere. (I love dogs. Yes, I do. But J doesn’t really...

Tart
My neighbor has a cherry tree. But she doesn’t like cherries. What does that mean? Neighborhood cherry picking! With the help of the kiddos, we bagged (or colander-ed) ourselves quite a lot of...

A week in review
Let’s go backward in time, shall we? Today. This afternoon. I made this scrumptious smoothie. Peach-nectarine bliss. Sounds like a good name for it, right? I haven’t made enough smoothies this summer....

Cluck, cluck
Also titled “What I did with my Monday lunch break.” New school. New adventures. New parent-volunteer responsibilities. Enter chicken adoption. The goal? Sit in a circle with nine other kids. Wait for...

Baking + a new cat (yes, another one)
I have not, of course, been baking non-stop since September, when I last updated. I’ve had a few baking experiences and then came the holidays when baking went all out for a bit. Like with these little...
