Back in the Saddle Again

By jesser | Published: 8:36 am

I’m getting us back on track with cooking! I swear it! We’d been doing so well, but the past couple of weeks we fell off the wagon big time. Life got … busy. Real busy! We have had parties galore, events of all kind, and plenty of little in-between projects. Meals this week have mostly [...]

Tabby and Me

By jesser | Published: 7:08 am

The last couple of days it’s just been Tabby and me. We’ve had two evening social engagements and since they have been more with my friends than Matt’s and Ben hasn’t been feeling well, Tabby has been my date. Or maybe I was her date last night to her friends’ birthday party.Whatever. I love both [...]

Two Cute

By jesser | Published: 6:20 am

It’s official! My baby is TWO. How did this happen so quickly?? I blinked and here we are. Well enough waxing nostalgic, here’s the skinny on Ben’s birthday. For one of only TWO TIMES likely to occur in his lifetime, Ben’s birthday fell on Easter. The next time this is supposed to happen isn’t until [...]

Egg Bot – it’s Eggcellent!

By jesser | Published: 6:38 am

Alright, that’s the end of my egg puns, swear. Sorry ’bout that. So Tuesday night Matt finally cracked open his Egg Bot and assembled it. According to him it was a pretty easy, straight-forward assembly. No soldering or any of that variety of monkey business, just some screws here and there. You hook it up [...]

I’m NOT Tired!

By jesser | Published: 6:11 am

It’s been such a rough week. I think between the past two weekends with the race and the party, I have absolutely worn myself down. By 8 PM every night, once the kids were tucked away, I’ve wanted nothing more than to crawl into bed. And mostly that’s what I’ve done. But today I actually [...]

Dialing it Down

By jesser | Published: 6:06 am

It has been a big huge couple of weeks. What with the race and the party, we have been going at a rate even a bit nuts for us. So contrary to my take no prisoners general attitude about life, I’ve been letting things go a little bit. There is [...]

Big Birthday Bash Recap

By jesser | Published: 7:23 am

Saturday was THE DAY – the kid’s big birthday bash. It was incredibly fun, terribly exhausting and also probably way too expensive, but as I have promised myself, we do not (WILL NOT) do this every year. And it was a great time and overall SO WORTH IT. I will do a recap Tonia style [...]

New Kicks

By jesser | Published: 6:33 am

When I got up this morning, our lovely rain from last night had turned to snow. But NOTHING was going to stop me from wearing these babies on my casual Thursday. NOTHING.

Working For the Weekend

By jesser | Published: 6:47 am

Every week is BUSY. I just accept it. But this week … we have to build a photo booth. Yes, you read that right. We are building a photo booth. So after workouts, work, commuting, swim lessons, dinner, errands, cleaning up the kitchen, folding laundry and all the other mundane day-to-day crap, Matt has [...]

The Garden Starts

By jesser | Published: 6:23 am

For the past few years, we’ve done our garden from seedlings purchased at the nursery. There’s nothing really wrong with doing so – we get a reasonable variety of heirlooms from them – but we have always wanted to try growing our own. This year we finally made it happen. I ordered seeds from Seed [...]
