Monday, February 13, 2012. Well, well. hello again. I've been missing this old blog a little bit so I thought maybe I'd post an update or two. We've been busy making Valentine's goodies around here, mostly thanks to ideas from Pinterest. Too many ideas, probably, because by the time we finished everything I was sick of making little Valentine's treats! First, we made little Pretzel Buttons. Which we then wrapped up and delivered to our neighbors. Lastly, we made chocolate dipped Oreos. Subscribe to: Post...

Tuesday, October 18, 2011. I have recently made three new cooking discoveries about which I am feeling kind of excited. It's very likely that no one else will be as excited as me about these things, but nevertheless, here they are:. 1 Steve sometimes eats breakfast, but sometimes not, usually because he is in a hurry to get to work and doesn't have much time. I saw a really great way to make breakfast sandwiches. We had to throw those donuts away, and I was starting to regret my donut pan purchase. 3 The...

Monday, March 19, 2012. When Jose, our old dog, was alive, I would sometimes tell myself that we wouldn't get another dog after he died. No one to remember to take outside, no one to remember to feed, no one to worry about when we go on vacation, no one peeing in our house when he's home all alone during thunderstorms.nice, right? In spite of all that, Steve was thinking that we should. Reasonable side was telling the reasonable side to shut up. And then after telling it to shut up, it beat it into s...

Sunday, February 26, 2012. We named him Jose, and soon pretty much our entire lives revolved around that little dog. We were absolutely enamored with him. I have an entire scrapbook from that time that consists mostly of pictures of Jose, adorned with little paw print stamps and bone-shaped paper punches. Probably my favorite thing about him, and I know I've written about this on here before. That was a lovely tribute to your friend. I know how hard it is. I will miss Jose! Sending hugs your way. Sorry t...

Thursday, March 22, 2012. We glued ribbon onto the eggs and hung them on our branches. I also printed out some Easter subway art. To set on the table. It looked cute, but something was still missing, so I found some fabric in the basement and sewed a quick and easy (and very crooked) table runner. Perfect. Our Easter table is complete, and I love that, whenever I am in the kitchen, I can glance over to the dining room for a little Easter cheer. Time to get down the Easter decs, huh? Chick in the Czech.

Chick in the Czech: Our weekend
http://chickinczech.blogspot.com/2012/04/our-weekend.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. We had a wonderful weekend. On Friday night, we hung out with friends and David's brother came into town to celebrate our niece's First Communion! On Saturday Peter and I ran a 5k and I got my best time in a 5k ever.26:50! I was also the first woman to cross the finish line and Peter and I both got gold medals! That afternoon I ran to yoga and then we went to David's sister's house where we hung out and began the festivities for the First Communion. The next day was the big event:.

Thursday, February 23, 2012. When we looked at this house before we bought it, there was a pretty wreath on the front door. Once we moved in, I remembered how much I had liked that wreath so I wanted to get a wreath of our own right away. The one they had looked like it was store-bought, so I looked around at a few different stores, but didn't see anything very exciting. I turned to Pinterest, where I discovered this fabric rosette wreath. Making this wreath was fun, and super easy. Emma even made a ...

Naptime Musings: April 2011
http://naptimemusings.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 14, 2011. I love cookbooks and, even though they were getting heavy and I knew I would feel kind of silly checking out so many, I kept adding to my pile. Look what I came home with! Later in the afternoon, I wanted to make some strawberry preserves. I made a batch of strawberry/cranberry preserves. That didn't use pectin, which is a plus, and it had lots of good reviews so I decided to go with that one. Monday, April 11, 2011. Steve had the brilliant idea to stop and buy them protective g...

Naptime Musings: May 2011
http://naptimemusings.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 25, 2011. They ended up looking pretty cute and we liked them so much that Emma is making more for end-of-the-year teacher gifts. I am so happy that my family started this tradition and I am already looking forward to next year! Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Some more random tidbits. There were 448 people in my age group (age 30-35) and I came in 18th, so I was feeling pretty darn proud of myself afterward. I really enjoyed the race, and now I am looking forward to running a 10k in July and...
