We did it! We survived our week of COLD. Was it easy? No. Do I want to do it again anytime soon? No no no no no! But we survived, and here’s how. Living in the Midwest right now and growing up in the Northeast, I’m used to cold winters. I don’t like them, but … Continue reading Surviving the Polar Vortex
I’m still feeling the love from having a really great birthday week this past week. It was a week of good (and too much!) food, friends and even some runs. I felt the love from so many friends and family who reached out or whom I saw and made me feel special – thank you … Continue reading Celebrating My Birthday with Food and Running
Don’t get me wrong – I love our new house in the ‘burbs and all that our new little city has to offer – but I do miss our lives downtown. There was always something to do, always something going on, and it was great walking everywhere (especially to work). And even after we got … Continue reading Things to Do With a Kid Downtown
It was another great weekend in CLE, and it was nice to have a weekend to ourselves with no weddings or big events planned. Which meant we of course ended up packing in tons of fun activities into the two days. Friday night started with an impromptu birthday celebration for B’s brother. We went to … Continue reading Visiting the Farm (plus beer, running and more)
When it comes to desserts, B is a big fan of anything strawberry-rhubarb related, especially pies, crisps and cobblers. I, on the other hand, are more of a cookie fan – especially good chocolate and white chocolate chip cookies. Opposites attract? Perhaps (after all, as B says, I have more of a “sweet tooth” and … Continue reading Cherry, Strawberry and Rhubarb Crisp
A few weeks ago, B, FW and I took our third vacation as a family of three. (The first was a weekend in Columbus when FW was 2 months old, the second was a trip to Atlanta/Cincy/Asheville when FW was 8 months old) After our time in New York seeing my family and friends, we … Continue reading Visiting Annapolis with a Toddler
Today is Wednesday. But it feels like Thursday…which is good, because I’m off Friday for a bachelorette party so today is technically my Thursday as well. It’s pseudo-Thursday because tomorrow (Thursday) is my Friday. Make sense? Okay, enough confusion. Today’s What I Ate Wednesday features some pretty good food, including treats from a new Mexican restaurant. … Continue reading WIAW: The Wrong Ice Cream!
Woowoo, WEDNESDAY is here! And today’s What I Ate Wednesday post features BACON. No need for any intro, onto today’s WIAW eats. The day started with a small strawberry mango spinach broccoli smoothie – I made a smoothie for B and FW and had a little glass for myself. I ate breakfast at work – you … Continue reading WIAW: Bacon and Brinner
Happy Wednesday! I missed last week’s What I ate Wednesday because frankly, I was busy and tired. It was one heck of a week and I’m glad it’s over but I’m already ready for Friday! Alas, it’s not Friday- so here are my WIAW eats from last Thursday. The day started with a small smoothie and some BF egg … Continue reading WIAW: Black Truffle Pizza
Happy Wednesday! I can’t decide if this week is flying by .. or if it’s only Wednesday. Today’s What I Ate Wednesday eats are from last Thursday. It was a GREAT day because it’s the day I brought home my Vitamix! It was also a great day of eats, as I was wined and dined at … Continue reading WIAW: A Four-Course Vitamix Dinner
