Macoun Apples
We were in search of Macoun apples, one of my fall favorites, so once again we headed to one of our favorite local orchards. How lucky we are in so many ways.

Blueberry Morning
We are lucky to live where we do. I honestly think about that everyday. The other morning the kids and I headed to Hicks our local orchard to pick fat blueberries.
Laundry Basket Dinner
The first warm night we headed into the woods for a picnic supper, only a laundry basket was more our style. Adam says that Vermonters are like turtles, they crawl out of hiding to sun themselves on a log the first warm day. That is exactly what we did, seeking sunlight on the deck of an old empty hunting camp far up in the woods.
Laundry Basket Dinner:
Salad Greens With Cucumber, Tamari Almonds, Chick Peas and Miso Dressing
Grilled Flat Bread with jar sauce
PB&Js
Seltzer and various bad for you drinks
Snap Peas
Snickers
Pull Ups, Wipes and a great book.
This Moment (A Day Late)
{this moment} – A Friday “today” ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Idea borrowed from http://www.soulemama.com/
Quiet Dinner
Very rarely, do we get a chance to go out alone, kidless. As most early thirty-somethings working for ourselves with 2 kids age 5 and under, the funds often aren’t there for babysitter AND fancy dinner. When the stars do happen to line up we …
Easter Weekend
Just a few snaps from a beautiful weekend spent in the sunshine with family and friends. It really doesn’t get any better.
Fried Rice
This is one of the recipes in my “No Recipe Recipe” series. I just take some things and throw them together for an easy meal. You get the idea…. Start with this. Scramble the eggs and set aside. Saute the vegetables (or keep some raw) …

One Year Ago
I got a good chuckle today going through the blogs posts from a year ago. I wanted to see what I was writing just before my first big race. Hope you enjoy…
“As I was running with my friend Mandy one day, she told me that the end of a marathon was similar to giving birth. It was all mental and you had to really focus.
As I get ready for this race, I feel as if I am preparing for birth. I’m resting. I’m pampering myself. I’m being very careful about what I eat. I’m hydrating. I’m nesting a bit, getting out all of my running gear, gazing lovingly at it, running my fingers across it and smiling. I’m packing my race over night bag…what shall I bring? The grey spandex shirt or the blue one? I’m putting together a running playlist to get me through the pushes. I’m talking about it a lot.
It’s my first big race. It’s a half marathon, which I know, is not a full marathon, but less than a year ago I couldn’t run a half a mile. This weekend I will run 13.1 together with my team and a marathon will soon follow, I’m already hooked.”
