This was a pretty good month for audiobook-reading/listening. Because of some smart choices, despite the fact that I didn’t really get a start on this month’s books until a few days into September. But two of my books this month were quite short, and I finished them in less than week or so each. And […]
Month: September 2018
DIY/Recipe – How to Make a Galaxy Cake
Back in the summer when we were planning H’s birthday party, I offered to make her cake like I have done in the past. She said yes, and we talked about what kind she wanted, and the first thing she said was “Galaxy”. Sure, I could do that. So we sat down and watched some […]
Comedy – A Trio of Netflix Specials (Ali Wong, Hannah Gadsby, Iliza Shlesinger)
I feel like my ability to partake in pop culture has drastically diminished over the last few months, and that is directly because of having a baby. Where in the past I was able to watch a number of TV shows and keep up with what was happening at a time (I am now agog […]
Travel – Denver with Kids
Last year when the Boy and I were out in Colorado for the long holiday weekend, we had such a good time that we decided to go back for a longer vacation the next year (this year), knowing that things would be different. Having a baby has changed the way we travel, and what we […]
Movie – The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Netflix)
I love a good historical fiction. It’s probably my favorite genre, and there are some that are done better than others (of course, it’s true that you’ll find trash in any genre if you look). I am particularly drawn to ones that cover an area of the world that I am perhaps not as familiar […]
Recipe – Dairy-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
So remember how I told you that back when I was eating dairy-free I suddenly craved chocolate chip cookies? Well, once that craving was satiated, I was hit with another craving. This craving was more normal for me, because it involved peanut butter. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve LOVED peanut butter. It is […]
Travel – Colorado (In the Mountains)
So I’ve been back for a little while after having a terrific week away on vacation. Baby girl slept pretty well, the bigger girls didn’t tear each other to shreds. I was relaxed, and the Boy was happy. We got to do some fun things, and we didn’t try to do too much. I think […]
Service – Stitch Fix Kids
It’s a strange thing – despite not being super interested in shopping for myself, ever since baby B was born I have found myself being a teensy bit of a shopaholic. I don’t regret too much – baby girl clothes are SO CUTE. And she needs things like pajamas. Unfortunately, I’m not just buying pajamas, and so […]
Personal – Professional Development
I don’t know about you, but there can be times when my job feels stagnant. Like I’m doing the same kinds of things over and over, without much in the way of mental stimulation. This isn’t a bad thing necessarily – I think for a lot of office-type jobs, it’s normal to get into a […]
Recipe(s) – Continued Adventures in Meal Prepping
Considering the fact that it’s been nearly two months since last I wrote about meal prepping, you’d think that I would have lots more recipes and tips for you. Instead, it turns out that I got burned out, and having a large chunk of your Sunday spent cooking can grate on a person. So while […]
