Disney3

I sit here today with a pounding head and no voice, but I’m ok with that.  We had planned a trip to Disneyland that we did not intend to miss.  Leila had been sick on and off for two weeks but recovered enough to enjoy yesterday.  I caught the latest bug, but with some help [...]

Thanks Giving Inspired Fridays: Week 4

January 27, 2012

Jeff and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary this month. Such a big milestone has caused me to stop and reflect on the past ten years and of course the very beginning.  What I really treasure about the first three years of our relationship  is the stack of letters that I have from Jeff. You [...]

On Saturday, my parents and I took the kids on a walk around downtown Mesa.  They have sculptures on both sides of the street, and one giant hot pink cement chair.  Joe had his class monkey for the weekend, so we brought him along too.  Here are a few photos from our walk.   ************************************************ [...]

Are you an organizer or a piler?

January 10, 2012

As much as I would love to tell you that I am an expert on being organized, I am just not.  I’m a piler.  I make piles.  It drives my husband nuts.  He is an “everything has it’s place” kind of person. Last year we moved into a smaller home.  It’s very nice, in a [...]

Here’s to 10 years…and many more

January 4, 2012
anniversary

To the man who loves me just the way I am, but nudges me towards being better every day. The man who encourages me and my crazy dreams. The man who shows me more patience than I give him credit for. The man who tells everyone about the difference between a registered dietitian and nutritionist. [...]

December 3, 2011

This morning, while the house was still asleep, a couple of Christmas elves snuck our Bountiful Basket into the kitchen (thanks Mom and Dad!).  The bounty was overflowing, but for some reason it was missing the gingerbread kit that we had ordered.  We also missed out on the persimmons that most locations seemed to get.

Cheese Cookies & Green Beans of Death: Our first gluten-free Thanksgiving dinner

November 27, 2011
Photobucket

I have to be totally honest and up front about this post. I hesitated sharing our entire Thanksgiving menu with you because my favorite part of dinner was the “green beans of death”. Should I really admit to not only eating them, but making them myself? Would this result in a Shake Shack moment? Or [...]

Trick-or-treat, smell my feet, give me something gluten-free to eat…

October 31, 2011

I hope you had a fun Halloween! Our started out a little rough when Leila woke up sick. She ended up sleeping most of the day, waking up to drink and eat small snacks. While she was on her third nap of the day, Joe and I snuck out to the pumpkin patch. He had [...]
