So I’ve decided to start posting about things on Fridays that I love. It could be a product, recipe, CD, new website….anything that I’m currently loving. And for my first week I’ve chosen to feature….(drumroll please!) Ree Boado’s first solo CD release “Pretty Little Flies!” I first heard Ree sing with our church’s (Poiema) worship [...]

Even though we’re a household of four people, with one child in disposable diapers, we usually only take the trash out one time a week. That means ONE bag of trash going out to the curb, every week. How’s that possible?!? 1) We don’t eat a lot of meat. Meat packaging makes your trash stinky, [...]

This time of year it seems that we all go through so many batteries. And while I’m on a quest to eliminate battery operated toys from our house…somehow they always show up. My kids also love having their little battery operated nightlights, which go through triple A batteries like crazy…and then there’s Sarah’s crib soother [...]

I can’t be the only one who absolutely despises plastic bags, am I? I mean, they’re not the greatest at holding lots of weight, so if you use them, you end up using 15 for a small order. (I’ve been at stores that put ONE item in a plastic bag – What??) Plus, they stay [...]

So, I haven’t become the blogger I thought I would. I expected to be writing every day (which I love to do), and finding lots of followers in my friends and family. It’s hard, though, this bloggy thing, and when you don’t write, it makes it really difficult for your friends and family to read. [...]

So, we survived last week by eating mostly local dinners. The meat lasted a long time – we grilled the chicken Saturday, used the leftover meat for chicken quesadillas on Sunday. Monday we had the pasta with homemade spaghetti sauce (recipe below, so easy!) Tuesday we had mini-meatloaves with homemade gravy…Wednesday were the hotdogs for [...]

It will come as no surprise to people who know me that I am a total and absolute klutz. I trip, drop things, and most importantly spill things all over myself. This is embarrassing to admit, but so many of my shirts have little grease stains from where things (apparently greasy things, I guess!) have [...]

So I’ve been feeling really driven to try as much as possible to purchase and consume food grown and made here in Arizona, and, more specifically, the Phoenix area. There is no greater place to do this than at the Downtown Phoenix Market at their Saturday morning farmers market. I decided to take our entire [...]
