But these are pretty awesome as is, and I thought I might share them. What you will need Muffin Tins Mixer Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup whole wheat flour 3/4…

    A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post called Please Don’t Blush about how Emory had become self-conscious and stopped dancing. I have good news! My boy is back. The video below was taken yesterday while showing my mother a few dance numbers from Wednesday’s So You Think You Can Dance. One of the numbers was…

    My parents once lived in State College, Pennsylvania. (I lived there as well. I went to Penn State.) They have since moved on, but friends, football, and an all around wonderful town has them returning fairly regularly. I benefit from these visits as well. You see, for years my mother bought me handmade soaps from…

    Emory isn’t yet potty trained. Of course, he’s not really supposed to be, at 21 months. We do have one of those Bjorn toddler toilets and have for almost a year but we’re not militant about putting it to use. I store it in our bathroom across from the regular toilet. There have been a few…

    About 6 years ago, I had a facial done and I fell in love with the lotion the woman used on my face. Of course, I had to take a bottle of it home with me. It cost me a pretty penny. And I almost refused until she talked me into it, reassuring me that…

    The other day a friend of mine called me sobbing. At first I thought something terrible had happened to someone in her family. My mind raced with possibilities before she was able to get the words out. “I need you to tell me it’s going to be OK!” She cried into the phone. “I need to…

    We have a view from our building that looks into several backyards of houses lining the street parallel to our own. Toby Joe and I have spent many hours staring out over the city. It’s really a great view. I am lucky. I know this. We have a view overlooking the choppy rooftops that make up Northern…

    Murray crawled up next to me on Thursday night and started making biscuits on the blanket I had overtop of me. He then did a couple of donuts before settling into place. Murray sleeps curled up a lot, a pose we’ve come to refer to as “The Croissant Kitty”. When he sleeps this way, almost every back…
