Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
*OPP = Other People Problem You can exactly mimic the face other moms make when you tell them you make your own baby food. You’ve ever wanted to stab someone in the hand with a fork because they ask you if you’re “on a diet” when you order anything with vegetables. The other moms...

This morning I was woken up around 3am when my neighbor’s carpool dropped her off at home (I think she’s a nurse). I could hear them absolutely shrieking with laughter through my open bedroom window. For a second, I was annoyed at being woken up, but then a wave of gratitude washed over me...

This week I’m grateful that I wasn’t at a midnight showing of Batman last night. My thoughts and prayers are with the people in Aurora affected by the shooting. That the alleged shooter was an undergrad at the campus where my husband works is all the more blood chilling for me. I am grateful...
Had a fun morning as an “extra” at SALT Bistro in Boulder where they were filming a spot for one of the local morning shows. (You can see me and the fam in the first video at about the 0:37 mark.) We got to partake of some excellent farm-fresh scrambled eggs; a gorgeous root...
A few weeks ago, when my daughter was just taking her first steps, she tripped and fell hard on her face, biting her lip in the process. There was understandably a lot of crying and even a little blood. I was busy cooking dinner, and my husband scooped up our little one to love...
I’m digging deep, deep into all the research out there on picky eaters as I’m developing some new products for this site, and it’s led me to get out of my “comfort zone” and discover some new-to-me blogs on food and parenting! I’ve been topping up my Google Reader with some new stuff, and...
