Home for the Holidays

December 23, 2008

It’s been quite a lot of work, and has taken all the patience I’ve ever had — okay, so maybe not counting pregnancy — but the work on our house is done. Happy Holidays For the past week, I’ve been fixing and cleaning and enjoying the new look just long enough to put off that [...]

Is it Christmas yet?

December 7, 2008

As I think of the weeks that lie ahead, many things cross my mind.  Yes, Christmas is upon us again, but it hasn’t quite descended upon our home life yet. I know it will in a week or so, and have spent much of today feeling the beginnings of worry I’ve grown accustomed to over [...]

In Vogue with Armpit Flaps

August 22, 2008

Once in a while, if I’m waiting in the line at the grocery store long enough, like others, I scan the covers of magazines.  I glance past Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and Food & Wine, because I have those and others at home in some state of being dissected, stickered and splattered with my latest gastronomical [...]
