KIMCHI!!!!!!!!!!! I finally made it myself! Okay, so it may look a little different than most, but it tastes good. I have always wanted to make it since I love it so much (thanks to Mel and Tara), but I was definitely intimidated. This was really easy. I just used the recipe in Nourishing Traditions [...]

Daniel absolutely loves music. For Christmas we decided to encourage that in him by getting him some instruments that he has been fascinated with lately. My parents got him a little guitar, and he has been having a blast with it. This morning he took Mike his guitar so that they could play together, and [...]

I made [...]
Grandma Monkey!

All the grandkids affectionately call Mike’s mom “Grandma Monkey” since she loves to keep exotic animals, especially monkeys. We try to have her over to dinner every now and then so that Daniel can spend as much time as possible with her. They LOVE to play together. Here are some pictures of last week’s time:

A good friend told me about “Hundred Dollar Holiday”, a book by Bill McKibben, before Thanksgiving. I requested it from the library, and devoured it as soon as I got it. It is a great book to help you get a fresh perspective on Christmas. Before I even read the book, Mike and I agreed [...]

Last week Daniel surprised me with these words. -Not I WANT Shaw or I MISS Shaw but I NEED him! “Shaw” is a nickname Daniel has given Sebastian Mings. I am not sure how he came up with it except that it use to be a favorite sound he would make (so maybe he used his [...]
