It is super-greedy, but even when I have a nice long weekend, I always want more. Such was the case of this weekend. I left for Vail with the girlfriends on Friday afternoon. We had a nice evening on Friday with much wine and conversation. Saturday we slept in, had breakfast and then rented bikes! [...]
Can you believe it’s almost memorial day? It feels like Christmas was just last week. Maybe I’m confused because we got snow recently and the kids and I still have coughs. Who could blame me. But Memorial Day Weekend is almost here and I am heading with some of my best girls to the mountains [...]
Procrastination/schedule/good luck prevented us from putting any of our plants in the ground until this past weekend. The upside of this is that we missed out on some of the more … fun … weather Mo Nature has thrown at us lately. But the downside is that our garden starts in particular were looking pretty [...]
So one of my favorite food blogs, Dinner a Love Story posted a recipe for Pork Ragu sometime back late this winter. The minute I saw it I marked it in Google Reader and vowed to make it as soon as possible. The recipe is ridiculously simple as far as prep goes and the only [...]
Thursday was a very nice day in most respects. I went to work. I came home. I worked on dinner. Our friends came over and we had dinner. The kids played. It was a nice evening. Then, since I hadn’t had time to workout all day, I hopped on the treadmill. My training plan had [...]
Remember last week when we had snow? That was fun, right? Yes, so much fun that Mo Nature upped the ante and gave us HAIL this week. We had a good 20 minutes of pea-sized hail rain down on us. It was, happily, not enough to do any damage to my car, but it got [...]
Summer is a hard time for me cooking wise. I don’t want the heavier comfort foods I am crazy about in the winter. It’s too hot. And we also take advantage of the longer days and get up to all kinds of things and have later, more casual dinners. So I’m up for anything that’s [...]
On May 8 (Mothers’ Day as you might recall) I ran my 3rd Title 9K. And on May 15 (one week later) I ran my 5th Half Marathon, The Colfax Half Marathon. These are their stories (dun, dun). Title 9K Distance: Contrary to the event title, this is actually 9.9K, or about 6.1 miles (I [...]
My darling hubby (who is very sweet and wouldn’t hurt anyone intentionally) had a little misunderstanding with our beloved sitter a couple of weeks ago. He made an off-handed jokey comment to her that she took personally and was very upset about all weekend long. As I said, Matt is not the type to [...]
This kid of mine … she is the definition of social. She wants to be going and doing or having someone come visit her. ALL. The.Time. Whenever she makes a new friend at the park or the gym, she will ask her friend to have her mommy talk to my mommy about setting up a [...]
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 »
