Cooper has always been incredibly easy on toys. He still has a stuffed teddy bear that my friend Dawn picked out for him the day I picked him up. That was over a year ago. He plays with it regularly and it still looks great. He prefers to shred things he finds in the trash. [...]

Zucchini and Squash Ribbon Salad
I love our local farmer’s markets. I try to show my support for our farmers by purchasing the vegetables they have available. This also allows me to eat more seasonally. Sometimes what I buy doesn’t work with any of the recipes I was in the mood for. Or is something I’m not sure how to [...]

Adopting technology
I’ve always been a little slow to adapt to technology. Why would I need the latest and greatest toys? The “old fashioned” way is good enough for me. And the cost is always prohibitive. Once I get the new technology I quickly adapt. I enter a mode that questions how I ever lived without the [...]

Hair Colour Honesty Versus Appearance of Effort
At 28 years old I am no longer dying my hair. At 28 years old I am starting to notice stray grays here and there. I spent 12 years of my life bouncing around from red to blond to dark brunette to caramel to strawberry blond. I spent years unsure what my natural colour was. [...]

But Audrey has wanted to wander the world desperately. It’s her nature as a huntress. She’s always hunting everything that enters the [...]

He actually made two posts in two days (after not posting for maybe 6 months or something). And is now wondering why no one has commented on his blog posts. [...]

Egg Sandwich and The Omnivore’s List
One of my favorite foods is eggs. Eggs are so versatile, scrambled, over easy, or hardboiled there are tons of ways of eating them. Eggs are a great recovery food after running. During my first Ultramarathon, one of the aid stations had deviled eggs, it quickly became my favorite aid station. We usually keep some [...]

Life with a Naked Poodle
It was hot for New Hampshire during most of the month of May. Because Cooper was clearly being affected by the heat we had him sheared down from his normal teddy bear appearance. (Notice, he’s being bad. He’s sitting on the top of the back of the couch to look out that window in that [...]

Hair Today, Gone Tommorrow
I really only like my hair in two lengths, chin length and below my shoulder blades. I usually try to keep it quite long because it’s easier to deal with than having it short. The only problem is that my hair gets very damaged when it gets very long. My hair had gotten long, very [...]
