Happy Friday! Some of you in Red Sox Nation may want to revoke my status as “true fan”, but I was way too nervous to watch them play last night. So relieved that it’s going back to Fenway …. can Josh Beckett pitch every game, please? And what is up with the 1-hour every week [...]

It’s raining ….. a spring rain today, all thunderstormy and warm, complete with severe weather watches. So I’m going back in time to Tuesday, when on the way to school it looked like this.Maybe it’s not raining in Minneapolis. Wouldn’t you like to go to Letterbox this Saturday? I’m always up for visiting a fun [...]

After a summer of cooking avoidance (save the grill), fall always lures me back into the kitchen, with visions of shopping, baking, and cooking. My Martha Stewart fantasies run amok. Yesterday, to get the ball rolling, I eased back into it by practicing some “almost” cooking. For an after-school snack, I made Barefoot Contessa’s chocolate [...]

Well, after a very dry September, it’s back to rain in these parts. Which is great for our newly planted French pussy willows, part of our long-unfulfilled plan to block our view of the alley. Here’s hoping that the plan b willows do the job!Sitting at soccer practice last night (the rain held off for [...]

Friday, again. But this week, it feels like fall instead of summer. (I’ll be the parent shivering in fleece during this week’s set of soccer games.)On with the Five:
Greed
well good morning to ewe too
fish and lobster
the furnace kicked on this morning [365.18]
autumn
If you’d like more of fall, and you feel like a good cry, rent [...]

I love Kate Spade’s “behind the curtain” site. It’s so beautifully done, and full of things that I love obsessing over, like the desktop profiles, mix tapes, or just scrolling through the “things we love” to find something new. Yesterday, while clicking around to sites I haven’t visited in a while, I noticed that there [...]

Last Thursday’s Lucky magazine purchase didn’t work out so well for me. Read and done within the hour. Even the shopping awards didn’t cut it. Too old, I guess. (Keri Russell? Still adorable.) But Friday’s purchase House&Garden was a great replacement. Started out by salivating over Doughnut Plant’s coconut cream-filled square doughnut, learned about some [...]
