I like to do a newsletter each year when I send out Christmas cards, but this year I didn’t get it done in time. Instead, I’m offering this blog post as a web version. So, in case you were wondering what we’ve been up to, here’s a year-in-review / family wrap-up for 2012.
I won’t be posting an official menu this week, but I thought I would share what we are eating for Christmas. We almost always host Christmas dinner at our house and are looking forward to doing so again this year. While we generally try to eat clean, we aren’t purists and our day will...
Sorry I haven’t gotten a menu plan together or done much posting lately. I’ve been preparing for, and then recovering from, my first ever Crossfit competition. I participated in Cold War 2 – a competition put on by Crossfit Liberation. I was on one of three teams from my box. Our four person team, aka ”Rubicon...
We had a wonderful, blessed, busy Thanksgiving weekend. Here’s a not-so-brief rundown. The Thanksgiving break started with a piano recital. It can be a chore to get them to practice, and one child claims she hates piano, but both kids did a great job and were proud of their performance, as were we....
No menu plan this week, Thanksgiving and my daughter’s 9th birthday are coming, so my culinary efforts are focused on those two events. Thankfully, I am not *in charge* of Thanksgiving, but will be providing some Paleo-rific sides to the Thanksgiving feast. If you are looking for side dishes to round out your...
This post is several weeks overdue … our summer has been so busy, it’s been hard to find time to write. I made the mistake of doing big birthday parties when my kids were little, and I’ve been trying to scale them back ever since. This year, I told my boy that he could...
Wowsers, where have the days gone? We lost power for about three days after the mega storm aka “derecho” blew through the DC area Friday night. Thankfully the power is back on now and we are re-acclimating to summer normal. Right now it means lots of camp and dive practices, but I should be...
We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. The kids were excited to come down and check out their Easter baskets. Note to self: do not wait til the day before Easter to shop for goodies. Despite the slim pickins at Target, the kids were happy with what they got (play doh, noisemakers and Bey Blades...
So, as I’ve mentioned quite a few times here on the blog, I participated in a “Performance Nutrition Challenge” at our Crossfit gym box. Back in January, I and others, paid $60 to participate, and then spent two months training hard and eating clean. “Paleo” or a “caveman diet” is the most common description...
Wendy & Sam have been taking piano lessons since the summer and just had their first piano recital last weekend. Lessons have been a bit of a struggle at times. Wendy claims she does not like them AT ALL and doesn’t want to take them and HATES piano. However, she will frequently sit down...
