ONE and carrot cupcakes

Jason and I were recently asked to give the reflection at our church’s annual Marian Lessons and Carols service. Our task: talk about what we expected pre-baby versus what we got one year later. [HA!] We doubt they expected us to be so blunt and irreverent toward parenthood, but we believe retrospective truth is better… Read More ONE and carrot cupcakes

changes and dolmades

I’ve been thinking a lot about signs of change. I first pondered it in my simple ceramic coffee mug, my personal signal that the weekend has arrived. Gone is the weekday on-the-go Yeti cup, replaced by something that reminds me it’s finally time to slow down. I see it in the lone yellow branch outside… Read More changes and dolmades

finales and french onion soup

We’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: we hate goodbyes. We have had to endure a few too many in the past decade and swear they never get easier. Living in D.C. — one of the most transient cities in the country — it seemed as though a month couldn’t go by without someone departing… Read More finales and french onion soup

harvest fest and maple cake

We’ve spoken extensively about annual traditions in the past — ice fishing and pontoon weekends and girls trips, as you might recall, all fall under the cozy umbrella of tradition. Now add to that list: Harvest Fest. When we began this humble blog last November, Harvest Fest was one of our first entries. So it seems we have… Read More harvest fest and maple cake
