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 [...]
On the Merits of Clean Underwear
Friday, February 20th, 2009
I hadn’t been feeling well for a couple of months. I chalked up to being a new mom with a baby who refused to sleep through the night. Sleep deprivation can really take a toll, you know. Over the last few weeks, I started to call in sick to work more frequently. I thought it [...]

We will never have dirty dish clutter again!
What’s cookin’, Toots?
Monday, August 11th, 2008
Before I go grocery shopping, I try to make a list of meals I plan to cook for the next week or two, and use the recipes for the foundation of my shopping list. Having a list makes sure I buy only what I need and nothing more. With the rising costs of food these [...]
Testing, testing

I downloaded the WordPress app for the iPhone and am trying to post my first entry. This could be pretty cool if it becomes more stable–the app crashed several times before I made it to the write screen. I’m hardly ever at my computer any more. If this works, I can post entries while I’m [...]
You are now entering a shoe free zone.
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008
We are shoe-free in our current apartment and have been for many years. We remove our shoes upon entering and most of our guests do the same without us asking because they know the rule. We live in the Tender Nob and the sidewalks near our building aren’t the cleanest–they are downright foul. Because we [...]
Wendy 3 | Target 0
Friday, May 23rd, 2008
Our first big adventure to Target was a success!
1) Isadora slept the entire time we were shopping. Not a single fuss.
2) She didn’t dirty her diaper until we got home. Yay!
3) I got 10% off nearly my entire purchase.
You see, I received a coupon for 10% of anything that was on my baby registry so [...]
Miscellaneous Updates
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
1) I gave birth 8 days ago and I already lost “the baby weight.” I weigh three pound less than my pre-pregnancy weight yet, I still look like I am 5 months pregnant.
2) The Baby Bjorn = Freedom. Why didn’t I think of this before? It took me two hours to sort half the [...]
I’m a lucky girl.
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
I haven’t had a proper shower in a week. I’ve been wearing the same nightgown for two days, and I’m starting to smell like onions. And yet, my husband still tells me I’m the most beautiful woman in the world.
