Hurry for the curry

I ran 9 miles yesterday morning. It was awesome.   And by awesome, I mean terrible. I just didn’t have my running mojo. It was a rough night of sleep -I always do that to myself when I know I have to wake up early- and when I got in the car, I realized I’d…

10 months: some things we’re loving

I don’t ever want these posts to seem like I think  products make you a “better” parent. If you’re a regular Family page reader, you know how I feel about things.

Meg: Pop of Color (DIY)

As glorious as fall colors may be, they can sometimes seem a little dull without a pop of color. I set out the other day to buy a necklace that would give me a pretty pop, but had no luck! Bright colors are slowly being phased out of stores as the season changes so I…

Halloween, you’ll always be one of my very favorite holidays. Any situation where I’m surrounded by chocolate is very happy, indeed, but wearing a costume and partying with friends and family is a bonus, too 😉 I had a blast hanging out with my hibachi chef and sushi roll: (It’s basically impossible to get Liv…
