This is the life ...: What I saw today ...
http://our-silly-magpie.blogspot.com/2013/07/what-i-saw-today.html
Tuesday, July 2, 2013. What I saw today . Ha ha - this is a shot from today's exercise time . and it's not a walk! I decided to sleep in, and I didn't want to be walking in the heat, so I rode our stationary bike while watching Rick Steves' Europe, one of my favorite travel shows. While Rick was walking the stairs up the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, my legs were burning too! Here's a screen shot of the time I rode. I rode for as long as I walk, but I think I was sweating a lot more! Long time, no post.

Experiments in Change; Inspired by Food Inc.: Earth Day Smackdown: Troy v. Jen
http://experimentsinchange.blogspot.com/2010/04/earth-day-smackdown-troy-v-jen.html
Thursday, April 22, 2010. Earth Day Smackdown: Troy v. Jen. Truth be told, I never much cared about Earth Day. It usually meant there was some fair to go to where they had overpriced beer (which I happily bought), sold hippie crafts and was an excuse to roam around outside in the spring weather. Now with our shift of lifestyle, it seems only natural to use Earth Day as a banner day. A New Year's for sustainable living. My resolution is to buy 75% of my groceries from a CSA or farmers' market. Ourselves&#...

This is the life ...: Back in the saddle ...
http://our-silly-magpie.blogspot.com/2013/07/back-in-saddle.html
Tuesday, July 9, 2013. Back in the saddle . So it's been a few days - hard to get back in the swing of things after being on vacation, then having an atypical holiday week. And yes I know those are flimsy excuses. I'm choosing to focus on the fact that although I did not want to get up early today and walk, I did it. Yesterday, Bobby got up and walked. I'm a fairly light sleeper and usually hear his alarm go off, or him getting dressed, or something. That wakes me up. Yesterday . nothing! I believe that ...

Wednesday, March 30, 2011. The play's the thing . Here are some photos from Monday night's dress rehearsal:. The three pigs, plus Mama Pig, before the show.

I want my house to be strong and sturdy. Straw is too flimsy and sticks are too dirty.". Other scenes from the play. The twist at the end? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

This is the life ...: Don't blink
http://our-silly-magpie.blogspot.com/2009/10/dont-blink.html
Monday, October 19, 2009. Oh, my precious girl. It's got to be one of the biggest cliches ever, and I probably heard it 100 times when I was pregnant with you:. I said last year. That four seemed like a momentous age, an age when you stepped definitively into the ranks of little-girlhood. So I'm not sure where five leaves you. (Or me.) All I know is that it too seems momentous, important . older. Will all birthdays feel like this? One Day I became a mother. And One Day you turned five. Getting caught up ...

This is the life ...: Old favorites ...
http://our-silly-magpie.blogspot.com/2008/03/old-favorites.html
Thursday, March 6, 2008. I don't get to do much writing these days, so here are a couple of old pieces (taken from Maggie's other website) that I liked and wanted to be sure to include here. Motherhood, from June 2006:. Back around Mother's Day, a friend who's pregnant emailed me, asking what my favorite part of motherhood was. Until then, I hadn't really tried to put into words how I feel about this incredible journey I'm on. So, in a nutshell, here are my feelings about motherhood:. GP: No, just use wh...

http://experimentsinchange.blogspot.com/2010/05/quick-updatemore-tomorrow.html
Wednesday, May 5, 2010. The Quick Update.More Tomorrow. So you see the sun came out and I started working in our yard. Then I was busy catering a friend's party. And Bear. He needs to go to rehab twice a week; so there's that. Also, I'm sure it didn't help that I finally caved in and, having gone through the first 3 seasons in a week, am now in the midst of season 4 of Lost. Very serious, important things going on here preventing me from blogging. We'll see you then. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Experiments in Change; Inspired by Food Inc.: Awareness: Your Most Important Tool
http://experimentsinchange.blogspot.com/2010/05/awareness-your-most-important-tool.html
Saturday, May 22, 2010. Awareness: Your Most Important Tool. Investing. Mortgage payments. Garbage pick-up schedules. Local politics. Things not on your radar when you're younger, but as you get older becomes more and more important to pay attention to (incidentally, you don't need to pay any attention to ending sentences with prepositions). From my local news today: Fees, Permits Surprise Farmers' Markets. The whole thing stinks to high heaven. Keep preaching local government involvement! You may find m...
