We went to Vermont in search of snow, and found plenty of it. In case you were looking for yours, it’s up there in the Green Mountain State. We enjoyed winter playtime, visiting with family, newborn cows, including a three-day-old one named Arabella, delicious food and a stop at baker’s mecca. But for today, my…
Read MoreIf you haven’t figured it out by now, I would rather bake anything, anyday than cook. I do love cooking, but I REALLY, REALLY love baking. Given that, I’m often trying to figure out things I can bake that offer some nutritional value and that won’t clog our arteries and make our thighs look like…
Read MoreYou know what these are? These were the beginning of sweet little valentines for Will and Henry’s nearest and dearest. We cut the paper, and got out the stamps. We found the pink and red ink pads. We colored, and we stamped. Henry gnawed a little bit on his beeswax crayons and painted a little…
Read MoreIt’s a big day in triplet town—after a healthy 35-week pregnancy, Amily and Tyler’s triplets are being delivered this morning!

And while I could never produce detailed needlework or spell my name in hieroglyphics, I CAN make bread. But here’s the thing—you can, too. It couldn’t be easier, especially if you have a stand mixer with a…
Read MoreA few of my more faithful readers, especially those related to my children, have pointed out it has actually been a while since I posted photos of said children. To them I say thank you for reading, and then I say YOU TRY and capture them with a camera. I’m a little tired of chasing…
Read MoreI know, I know, enough already with the Food Friday on a Tuesday. Though if I was smart I would have just refrained from posting for a few more days and it would have been Friday again. TOO LATE. And I can’t say I’ve got much for you today, since I am actually being rather…
Read MoreSo this dip is a GEM. You will have people around you begging for the recipe, as I did when I first tasted it at my friend Elke’s house, and she was kind enough to share the recipe with all of us. Now you are lucky enough to have me share it with you. And…
