One of things that I miss about my life pre-Anna (besides sleep) is restaurant reviewing. I miss going to a new restaurant, hanging out with friends and having the whole restaurant review experience. I really had a good time on the Cupcake Tour, and it made me miss RRC more.
Recently, when my friend Jen wanted [...]
I’m feeling a little badly today that I didn’t make it clear enough that Mike and my dad built, by hand, my compost bin. It took them three long days, multiple trips to the hardware store, and Mike driving back and forth to Colorado Springs three days in a row to complete the bin. The [...]
Check it out! I have a compost bin!
This weekend Mike and my dad (along with Mike’s friends Andrew and Matt) installed my new compost bin. It’s really awesome! And really pretty too. All handmade with redwood; you wouldn’t think of throwing old vegetables in there it’s so beautiful!

When I was pregnant my mom told me that she wanted to make some quilts for the baby. Together we looked at some ideas and settled on two: one bright color block quilt and one blue and yellow quilt with a bunny on it. For the first few months of life babies don’t see very [...]
For Halloween we dressed Anna up in a sweet little pink caterpillar costume. We liked the fact that the costume would be warm, since Halloween is generally our first snow in Colorado. Thanks to global warming it was instead 78 degrees on Halloween, but I digress.
Mike took a bunch of pictures of Anna in her [...]
I have been reminded lately by many people that Anna is the main attraction for them to my blog, and most importantly, pictures of Anna.
For those people who like to view lots of pictures of Anna I have updated the links (look to the right) with links called “Anna’s Mom’s Pictures” and “Anna’s Dad’s Pictures”. [...]
