I’m going to be completely honest when I say that Japan always seemed like more a “dream destination” to me than a place I would realistically visit with children, partly because of the time of the flight, and partly because of the cost to get there. But when I found out that my sister and […]

Recipe – Lemon Honey Olive Oil Muffins
I could write a lot here about these muffins, but is that what you really want? A story about why I chose these particular muffins and the background of what I was feeling at the time? Probably not. You saw the title and you’re like, “Ooh, muffins – put that recipe in my face right […]
Out and About – Mount Vernon
My mother-in-law was recently in town, and I was racking my brains about things we could all together so she could be with the baby, enjoy the outdoor weather, get there by car(s) (since there are enough of us in the family now where with a visitor we don’t all fit in one vehicle), and […]
Restaurant – Kinship
When was the last time I wrote about a restaurant? I’ll give you and myself a moment to think and guess before you go into my tags and find the answer. The answer is not as bad as I had imagined, since I’ve actually written about two restaurants since the baby was born, but it’s […]
Personal – Two Years of Marriage and Some Thoughts
The Boy and I recently celebrated our second wedding anniversary, and our dinner out was pretty great – look for the restaurant review post next week. But as someone who got married and pregnant in quick succession after having the one serious boyfriend for a chunk of time that followed a long long stretch of […]
Travel – Kyoto, Japan
Ok, so I’ve officially been back from Japan for a little while now, and it’s time to start giving you recommendations. First off, our first stop on this trip: Kyoto! It was not my first choice in where to start, but due to a screw up in planning on my part, it was where made […]
Stand By for Transmission
My original plan for today was to get my first Japan travel blog post up. And lol, based on the amount of time I’ve had to write today, the amount of time I’ve had other days, and what my plans are for the rest of the next few days, I don’t think it’s possible to […]
Movie – Bohemian Rhapsody
Remember how I said that the baby did terribly on the plane (and every other form of transportation), and so neither the Boy nor I had a chance to get much reading done? Well, the other thing I had been hoping to do on those long, long flights was to watch a movie or two. […]
TV – Tidying Up with Marie Kondo (Netflix)
At the beginning of the year, right around the time that everyone has New Year’s resolutions and makes a vow to change their life, Netflix dropped a bomb on all of this: Marie Kondo’s TV show. If you don’t know who Marie Kondo is, chances are you’ve been living under a rock (or don’t care […]
