8 Months
Miss Goober McGee is eight months old today. When I didn’t think it was possible to love someone so much, I wake up at dawn, go to her crib and look into those sleepy eyes starring up at me, and my heart swells so much I’m surprised I can still breathe. We don’t celebrate each […]

Good As New: Suitcases
I never know what to do with some of the stuff I have laying around the house. Magazines a couple issues old, photocopied recipes, TO DO lists (the never ending TO DO lists!). I don’t use some of these items enough to be left out, so when I found a variety of retro suitcases used […]

Freedom
After our move from New York City to Ludington when I was pregnant I read quite frequently. During that time, I read Franzen’s famed novel The Corrections which I enjoyed, but it left me… for lack of a better word.. sad. He’s an incredible writer. I would go back and re-read paragraphs and pages I […]

Day To Myself
Well, a whole 4 hours to myself this afternoon. Not an entire day per-say, but a solid allowance of time. The most time I’ve had to myself in one day since before LBD came into the picture. Usually when Grandma watches her it gives me the chance to go to my weekly 30 minute guitar […]

Reading Together: Toot & Puddle
I use to read Toot & Puddle by Holly Hobbie to my stortytime kids back in the day. This week, I decided to check it out at the library for LBD. The book is about Toot, who is compelled to travel, and his friend Puddle, who prefers the comforts of home. Toot decides to leave […]

Good As New: Wine Bottles
Not that you ever *need* an excuse to drink wine, but here are a few ideas I came across for re-purposing empty wine bottles into light fixtures. Will and I use to have quite the collection of empty wine bottles laying around the house pre-LBD. Love me a glass of chilled Sancerre in the park […]

I Like You Like This
I like you like this, Sweetheart. Playing with your toys, babbling to your teddy bear, and chasing your kitty cat. Happy baby. Today was rough. I made you eat broccoli. You hate broccoli. Not as much as peas, but still. And teething is the pits. That right front tooth was making you work for it […]

Crunchy Tofu Stir Fry
Yeah, that’s right. Tofu. Comes with the vegetarian territory. And you have to believe me when I say it does taste good! The taste factor all depends on how you cook it. (swearsies!) The best part about tofu is that it’s a chameleon of sorts, as it adapts and reflects whatever flavor environment you put […]

The Benevolent Library
Don’t be fooled… this picture of our town library is from September. (Oh, glorious blue skies!) The Ludington Library is a teeny, tiny library, BUT they order books that will travel from all over western Michigan to visit me AND I love that they have these nifty Reader Review slips in each book…
