TToT – Decking the Halls
Want to know what I really hate? I hate how crowded the house feels when it’s decorated for the holidays. I know, bah humbug. But it really always does and that makes me feel like the holidays are somehow…oppressive, no matter how enjoyable. But not this time! With the new hardwood floors in place this year,…
Sacred Store
These moments of yours are sacred each and every one a precious piece of all that is you. Happy, sad, singing, yelling, laughing, fighting – all part of all that you are and all that you are yet to be. You move much too fast for me, fighting to grow. I can hardly savor…
Soup of the Week – Chicken Soup of Necessity
If you’re waiting for the spicy butternut and vegetable “stoup” recipe I promised, it’s still coming. But this week I made homemade chicken noodle soup because it was necessary. The Fab Hub is sick. (Again.) Normally, the man has the immune system of steel. He rarely gets sick and when he does, it’s like 24-hour…
TToT – Thanksgiving Thankfulness
As I started to put this post together, it occurred to me that writing a thankful list at Thanksgiving was no different than any other week. Mission accomplished, I guess! If by listing the things we are thankful for each week, we’ve created a mindset where we no longer see giving thanks as a once-a-year…
Soup of the Week – Autumn Vegetable
I know, I know. It’s cold and it’s snowing. It feels like winter, not late autumn. But I promise you this autumn vegetable soup will warm you up from head to toe and from the inside out! I am not a big fan of traditional vegetable soup. I don’t know why because I do love…
TToT – Forward Motion
This week has felt like a blur of forward motion. The week sped by and somewhere in there I realized that we are about to get hurtled headlong into the holiday season. So here we go…
TToT – Short and Sweet
Well, I had grand plans of being ready to go with this post on Friday afternoon. Don’t know what happened. Yes, I do. I’ve been denying that I’m having an RA flare for about three days now. I’m moving slowly. I just need to make up my mind to acknowledge it and get through it.…
What I Learned from Eggs
My Daughter asked for eggs for breakfast this morning. She did it completely right, too. She decided last night that she wanted eggs for breakfast this morning. She asked politely if someone would make her eggs for breakfast. She even specified the preparation method – hard-boiled, please. Well done, Zilla! But despite the advance notice,…
TToT – Post-iversary!
So as it turns out, this is my 350th post. A little post-iversary, if you will. I kind of want confetti and party horns to happen here…pretend it did. Now let’s get down to the business of being Thankful. I’ve been exercising my culinary muscles in the kitchen again this week and managed a couple…
Smoothie Week – What’s Your Weirdest?
I’ve been drinking smoothies daily for about a year and a half. I can’t remember exactly why I started but I’m pretty sure it had something to do with an abundance of CSA vegetables and Pinterest. Put those two things together and you’ll find plenty of inspiration! This week Williams-Sonoma is celebrating Smoothie Week. The…
