You guys. What have I done. Also for those who voted for more running content, be careful what you wish for. A HALF MARATHON. Did I have a moment of temporary insanity? Did my brain short circuit out while I pressed the “register here” button? What in the world? I can’t explain this otherwise. It’s […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrack! I mean back! Flotsam’s back. I took last Friday off for the Girl Scouts campout. You didn’t notice? Oh. Never mind. Last week we had lice. LICE. Lice!! And I’m not 100% we’re lice free. I don’t think I ever will be. My friend Mindy went over my head hair.by.hair two nights ago, so […]
Will and Natalie’s New Bedrooms
I wanted to put an exclamation point on that title but I do in fact enjoy having human friends. We gave the kids much needed bedroom upgrades! At last. It was so time. They’d been sleeping in beds the size of bobby pins. It was one of those ordeals where we (by we I mean […]
Gruyere and Herb Puff Pastry Twists
Twists! Made out of PUFF PASTRY. Is this heaven? Me thinks yes. Not only are we snacking on puff pastry twists, they’re stuffed with gruyere cheese and garden herbs and Everything Bagel seasoning. Brunch just got a facelift. And you know what, these don’t even have to be brunch focused. Let’s call them an anytime […]
Monthly Mixtape: Fireworks and Lemonade (again!)
Happy June! We’re celebrating the very first mixtape I made back in the summer of 2015. Why? Because I said so. (mom sayings are applicable everywhere) I listen to this playlist from time to time because it’s just so much fun. It has summer livin’ and summer moods just oozing from it. It’s upbeat and […]
Homemade Wild Onion Oil
Chances are, you probably have wild onion in your yard. Like, onion grass. Wild onion. Green onion. Know what I mean, Vern? And if you don’t, you’re still a good person. You can get some wild onion (or even chives!) at the farmer’s market and rock on with your bad self. A) I haven’t said […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrewwwwwwwwderdeeeeeee! Hold on I’m listening to the new Snow on the Beach featuring more Lana Del Rey. One sec, one sec. . . . Okay that is GOOD. That is actually really really good. I loved the first version but the world was totally right – it needed more Lana. I’m not even a massive […]
Toasted Croissants with Strawberries and Mascarpone
How about a brunch idea?! Or a Saturday idea. Or a now idea? We’re honestly slicing, toasting, whisking, spreading, drizzling, and garnishing. That’s it. Isn’t it wonderful? And look, if you want to make the croissants yourself, that’s completely fine, ya overachiever. But it’s summer and I’m gonna breeze through these next three months the […]
Roasted Tilapia with a Cucumber, Capers and Red Onion Salad
I could eat like this all.the.time. You too? What a better gateway into summer break than a vibrant, crunchy cucumber and red onion salad over roasted tilapia. It’s light! It’s simple. It’s very pretty and festive and we’re serving it with toasted crusty bread, so go ahead and lose your mind. Let us peepeth. There […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrah! dah! duh! doh! The other evening I spent an embarrassing amount of time adding photos to all of my contacts in my phone. Have you done that? I feel like I used to have a bunch of photos in my contacts, but I really didn’t. So I went through my camera library and screen […]
