Always Fresh
Sunday, March 14th, 2010
And indeed it is!
I bought some of these amazing containers at Bed Bath and Beyond a couple of months ago as a replacement to for my Debbie Meyer Green Bags. I loved the bags and they worked, but were a total pain in the butt to wash between uses and I still had stacks of [...]
Attention Clothing Designers
Sunday, December 20th, 2009
Please add pockets to Women’s clothing. I really need them. Most of my clothes don’t have pockets or have fake pockets. I end up using my bra as an additional pocket to, most notably, stuff Kleenex or my iPhone in there.
Last night, we went to a party at Elena’s house and Izzy crammed the [...]

Perfect timing
Monday, October 5th, 2009
Just when I was getting fed up with the flakes from Craigslist, along comes the perfect solution! I’m a member of the Golden Gate Mom’s Group and they are having a rummage sale at the Sports Basement on November 14th–and I was able to reserve a table! Hope to be able to sell my [...]
Reselling
Sunday, October 4th, 2009
I’m trying to resell some of Izzy’s stuff to raise funds to buy new things. Well, not necessarily, new per se. Some new, some new to us. I’ll buy used when I can, and I’m pretty considerate if I express interest in something. I follow through–I show up and buy.
I must be the odd one [...]
Unsatiated
Sunday, October 4th, 2009
I’m ordering groceries online from Safeway tonight because I didn’t feel like going grocery shopping. I want pumpkin so I can try out some of the tasty recipes I’ve been collecting this past week. Wouldn’t you know it. Safeway doesn’t seem to have any in stock. How can that be? Last time I checked my [...]
Puppies on Parade
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
A few years ago, I ran across this great pattern for a Scotty Dog. I used it to make a little pup for Ethan. It’s a simple pattern and quite easy to make.
I had a really crummy week at work, so I knew the only way I was going to get over it was to [...]
I am sleep deprived
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
We have a bedtime ritual and getting her to sleep is rarely a problem. However, Izzy still wakes frequently throughout the night. We get up and check on her each time. Most times when we get to her we find that she is hot, cold, teething or gassy. Sometimes I think she has nightmares. [...]

Trader Joe’s is pretty awesome!
Saturday, February 28th, 2009
I love shopping at Trader Joe’s. Their offerings provide so many short cuts to decent nutritious meals. Some of my favorite things include:
Frozen organic brown rice
Vacuum sealed fava beans, lentils and beets
Frozen veggies
These items are generally single ingredient items–meaning the organic brown rice is only that. No preservatives; no added sodium. I stock my fridge [...]
