I don’t know why, but I always seem to forget about how quick and easy it is to make a pot of chicken curry. Or shrimp curry. Or whatever-you-want-to-throw-in-the-pot curry. This is something I should make more often because not only is it quick and versatile, but my family gobbles it up every time. All you need is a can of coconut milk, a jar of green curry paste, chicken…
Lately we’ve been soaking up as much of our beautiful Arizona spring weather as possible. I spend the early morning reading on the porch, covered in a thick blanket, sipping hot coffee. The kids spend early afternoons in the shade coloring and playing. But already by late afternoon, the temperature in the house is creeping up to a toasty 85 degrees. The heat in the house has started to put…
I’ve been trying to figure out how to get back into an exercise routine. What should it look like? What kind of workouts should I start with? Should I unfreeze my gym membership, and how often should I go? Should I workout in the morning or afternoon? Should I train for a race? How should I start? Gah. Too many questions.

(Don’t worry Mom, we were at a stop light.) Turns out,…
Today is the 21st which means it’s Recipe ReDux day. And it’s also my man’s birthday! Happy Birthday Jeff! In case you can’t tell, I’m a tad fond of him. Anyways… The Recipe ReDux challenge this month was to use a fresh green herb in a nontraditional way. I use fresh herbs all the time, but in a pretty boring and predictable manner. I was trying to think of something…
Joe is in the middle of a two week spring break. We’ve hit the baseball field, train park, garden and a few friends houses. We’ve listened to Peter Pan and Robin Hood on the record player, built forts and watched old school Garfield cartoons. And that was just week one. Now we’re getting into science experiments. Joe got a science kit for Christmas so we’ve been playing around with acids…
