Getting schooled

Watching Liv learn new things is one of my favorite things in my life. There is nothing like watching those beautiful huge eyes open wide and take it all in. Today, we went to the Childrenโ€™s Museum and the second we walked into the baby room, her eyes immediately went up to the rainforest ceiling.โ€ฆ

An Interview with David Kirsch

One thing Iโ€™m trying to get better at: interviewing others. I get press requests to interview various personalities on a regular basis, but either a) chicken out for fear of potential awkwardness, or 2) itโ€™s something I decide I want to go for, and realize itโ€™s a day that Iโ€™m at work teaching. Recently, Iโ€ฆ

Lavender and honey salmon

I never, ever would have thought to do this. Looks like regular salmon, right? Nope, itโ€™s coated in a mix of dried lavender and honey. Best surprising combo Iโ€™ve had in a looooooong time. Since my uncle the cheffer has been staying with us, we talk food pretty often. Heโ€™s given me some great tipsโ€ฆ

Vino and carne

Can we just take a moment here? Two of my favorite things EVER (chocolate and vino) had a lovechild. And it is a delicious lovechild. To be honest, it was a little on the sweet side, but it didnโ€™t stop me from having a hefty glass with the fam. Think of it like wine Baileyโ€™s.โ€ฆ

Leftover love

Before I start this post, I have to say that Livi crawled FORWARD today. Iโ€™m such a proud mama <3 The best part about having a beautiful meal cooked by others? Leftovers. (Please to excuse the crazy hair) I came home from work on my lunch break and was so stoked to see some pastaโ€ฆ

Favorite things to do with our 6-month old

and guess what? They donโ€™t cost a thing. -Tickle her hair while she drinks her bottle. She used to do it herself while nursing or drinking her bottle, and now that she can hold her bottle, I tickle her hair for her. -Take Bell for a walk. This has been a little trickier since itโ€™sโ€ฆ

Saucy

Two pro chefs in our kitchen?  Not a bad place to beโ€ฆ. While Meg, Liv and I hung out, my Uncle E and Kyle were busy whipping up an amazing feast. As soon as he got home from work, we made a Pilot sandwichโ€ฆ Sleepy girl went up to bed, and then the rest ofโ€ฆ

Stormy weather

It just started raining, thundering and lightningโ€ฆ not bad weather to write a blog post (take a nap, watch a movie, drink hot tea.. or all of the above). (I tried to get a good picture of the raindrops, but instead all you can really see is our play set that should be condemned) Beforeโ€ฆ

The end. -Hopefully today will be my last dayโ€ฆ
