How I love thee. Beautiful, edible artwork.There was peachCrimped and sugaredladen with stars.Apple crostata, simple and heavenly.Then there was this beauty. Starting out…almost there,Perfection.Actually, not quite perfection. My pies have a tendency to be soupy. I need to remember to add extra tapioca, or cornstarch, or flour depending on what thickening agent is employed in my recipe. I suppose it’s just as well. If I’d […]
Zizza threw a fit because I decided to comb Enzo’s hair first. “I always go first!” she screamed. That’s true of course. Generally speaking I only comb Enzo’s hair because he see’s me combing Zizza’s and wants a turn too. One of the joys of having a young son with only a small about of ultra blond hair is that combing said hair is entirely […]
Some of you may have been around here long enough to remember this A year ago I was very disappointed in my inability to obtain clogs for my Zizza. Her feet are just so dang tiny, there wasn’t a pair to be had. But Guess what?She grew! I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to hear her clomp clomp clomping around the house. […]
We stopped in at a bike shop to inquire about the possibility of conveying three children under the power of a lone biking adult.Last Christmastime, while walking through the mall I happened upon a bike shop, it’s windows full of beautifully painted, basket laden beach cruisers.

Am I the only one this happens to? I kept thinking the New One wasn’t napping well and wondering […]
I was done being blonde. Oh, so done being blonde.Also tired of being beholden to my flat iron as I have been for nearly five years now. Observe the natural texture of my hair, in this photo I did nothing but blow-dry. I used my paddle brush to control the crazier waves around my face but in the back I just pointed the blow drier […]
My dear Mr. took kid duty all day today so I could shop for the clothing we will all wear in our family pictures. I shopped and shopped and shopped and then kept on shopping. I left my house at 11:00 am and returned at 6:30 pm.I didn’t find much of what I was looking for and I came home with a lot of things […]
