The week is drawing to a close and I have to say, it’s been a nice one, despite the fact that beloved Daddy has been on a business trip. When Matt’s gone, it is undoubtedly more work for me, but I make up for it by being a bit lazy. I usually have most of [...]
Digging I've really been enjoying all that the blog, How Does She? has to offer. They have fun crafts and home-keeping advice all the time. And none of it is too complicated or expensive. I bought 4 of these cute no-slip (no joke!) headbands for running from JWG Creations. They are a great value … [...]
I really really like fall. Of course there’s the slightly cooler air. We’ve been seeing that in the AM but not so much yet in the afternoons when it’s still been getting above 80!! And there’s also the delectable foods that come with the season, soups, potatoes, cakes, casseroles, etc. But I think what I [...]
The weekend whizzed by in a blur of family, friends, kids, chores, workouts, cooking, laundry and quite a bit of fun. I took 0 photos. I didn't get enough sleep. Tabby's big day at the doctors was Friday. It was fairly hellish. Neither of us really wants to talk about it. But she did pick [...]
Oh Ben! This little guy is every inch a BOY. His favorite activities are running, climbing and throwing … but also, happily, snuggling. The past couple of months have been so much fun with him. He can be frustrating. He loves to throw food and has little regard for the word “no” but all of [...]
Almost three weeks ago when we were in California, Tabby crossed over into 3.5 territory. Since then she has been vociferously been 3.5, telling EVERYONE, proudly, “I’m fwee and a haff!!” A few cute little speech mannerisms linger, but more and more are gone. Grammar and vocab wise, there is not much she doesn’t seem [...]
Tabby and I both LOVE pickles. Dills only, thank you. And that little beauty next to my little beauty is a vintage pickle container I picked up on Etsy for $8. As you can see it handily separates pickles from juice for easy snacking. Tabby and I both love it. In non-pickle-related news … there [...]
A looooong time ago, bloggy buddy Kjersten, who I got to MEET just a couple of weeks ago, wanted to know more about my fish tacos. I am happy to spill! The fish I use in fish tacos is one of two things: either white fish from the freezer section at Target. Yes, [...]
• berry picking with friends on Friday • wore kids out so they had good naps and so did I • jewelry party Friday night • joined a new gym on Saturday • where Matt and I had 2 hour workouts • and took the kids swimming afterward • hosted my parents, sister and g’ma [...]
So I've got another half marathon in just a few weeks (Denver's Rock 'n' Roll Half on 10/17!!). I am looking forward to it … we should have a pretty good group there, including my hubby and several friends. I am hoping to match my pace from Disneyland where I had two advantages: 1. altitude [...]
My name is Jess. I'm a 30ish wife and working mommy. I love spending time with my family and friends, crafting up weird and beautiful things, cooking delicious food and running lots of miles to work it off. I love chocolate, wine, Photoshop, my Nikon and sleeping in. I do freelance design work for fun and marginal profit at JKN Designs. This is my blog. Read more »
