Odds & Ends

Posted on 09:25 by Roger
 
:: I am so happy that spring is officially here.  We are enjoying highs in the low 80s and soaking in as much sunshine as possible.  For someone who considers herself to be solar powered, this makes me very content with life.

:: Just finished this book.  In the same vein as Hunger Games, but yet completely different storyline.  I loved it!


:: I am kind of love and hate this site all at the same time.  I love that it presents such beauty on the subject of motherhood.  But I also hate that it also comes across a bit too staged for my taste.  As I am sure most moms can attest to, motherhood is made up of a mass chaos of beautiful, sometimes difficult, crazy hot mess of awesome moments.  I would prefer to see a gorgeously real photo of one of those moms trying to potty train her 2 year old or get her precious little one to stop shoving peas up her nose.  Beauty can be found in those moments too. 

:: 100 best first lines in books.

:: Drinking a lot of ginger peach tea by Republic of Tea.  Did you know that you can buy this tea in the bulk section for much cheaper than those little canisters with the individual tea bags?  Of course you did.  You are so much more pulled together than me.  That's why we are friends.  But I am still pretty dang excited about my find.

:: Obsessing a little bit over this blog.  I want to spend an afternoon in her kitchen whipping up deliciousness while trading ideas on what to do with our CSA vegetables.

:: On my list to read: An Everlasting Meal

:: Sometimes when Little B gets super cranky, I pull out the camera and start taking pictures of her.  She hates it when I do that.  But it makes me feel better.  Don't worry... she usually comes around and starts taking pictures with her little pretend camera.  She is so my little mini-me.

:: I am craving peaches in a bad, bad way.  And with peach season so many months away, I am not quite sure what to do with myself.  I see a peach crisp in my future (using frozen peaches, of course).  Not exactly the same thing as biting into a fresh peach still warm from the sun, but it will have to do. Sigh.
