A Tough Pill To Swallow

January 29, 2013 by Amanda

I have many vitamins.Many vitamins that sit, untouched, on my messy bathroom shelves until they expire. I don't know what it is, but I cannot bring myself to become a routine vitamin-swallower (totally a word). My iron level is at an all-time low, and I've got a bottle of iron supplements RIGHT … [Read more...]

Take Me Away!

January 22, 2013 by Amanda

Right now I am wrapped in my housecoat, rinsing out my four year-old's barf bowl every 20 minutes, and drowning in laundry. But....in three weeks' time I will be sunning my doughy thighs on the beach in Maui.I have really learned a lot these past few years about embracing the moment, being more … [Read more...]

TGIM

January 21, 2013 by Amanda

Winter kind of sucks. And so do Mondays.To make the wintry start of every week a tad more bearable I have instigated a new Monday night tradition: at 8 pm, a few girlfriends trickle in through the door, stomping the snow off their boots and we curl up on the couch, sip some wine and watch The … [Read more...]

Where There’s (Not) a Will

January 15, 2013 by Amanda

We don't have a will.There, I said it.Chalk it up to denial about my own mortality, fear of thinking of the horrible possibility of my and my husband's death and leaving our kids orphaned, or plain old laziness and not wanting to act like a grown-up. But my only New Year's resolution this year … [Read more...]

January Is Mean To Me.

January 9, 2013 by Amanda

There's something about January.Something that SUCKS.Last year, the moment I turned the calendar's page to January, our house got hit with head lice, my husband left on a three week-long business trip to South America and my preschooler suffered frightening night terrors/tantrums every day of the … [Read more...]

Low and Slow

January 7, 2013 by Amanda

When life got busy this past year, I basically stopped cooking. We scrounged for canned goods in the pantry, lived off of rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and prayed for a dinner invitation at someone's house. Then things resumed a more manageable pace. But I was so out of the groove … [Read more...]

Bottoms Up!

December 31, 2012 by Amanda

My two year-old has a drinking problem. All three of my girls have had heated love affairs with their bottles. Avelyn held tightly to hers well past the 2.5 year-mark, Karenna gave hers up just after her second birthday, and Brinley, who is 2 and four months, is still madly in love with … [Read more...]

Quiet Break

December 30, 2012 by Amanda

I've been quiet on the social media front these days, enjoying my time with family and friends and burying my nose in a book. Happy New Year to you all! … [Read more...]

It was relaxing and fun and so special to share such great memories with our extended family in such a lovely setting.On Christmas Eve we went to the ski village where there was a huge bonfire, a parade of skiers who were holding … [Read more...]

Making the Cut

December 19, 2012 by Amanda

For the past four years I have been lucky enough to get invited to a fantastic cookie exchange hosted by the sister of a dear friend of mine. She goes all out and prepares a spread of amazing appetizers for us to enjoy, games to play, prizes to win, and an afternoon out that is one of the highlights … [Read more...]
