Smart Biz: Zaniac

November 13, 2014 Leave a Comment

Back when I was in high school I was a bonafide math and science geek so as you can imagine nothing makes me more happy than our countries move towards introducing more (and better) math and science curriculums to our students. I am sure many of you have been hearing about STEM initiatives in the… read more

Chili with a Kick

November 11, 2014 1 Comment

There is nothing quite as tasty as a big bowl of chili once the temperatures start to drop. My husband is obsessed with all things spicy so I figured it was high time I made him something other than my relatively tame (and healthy) turkey chili. There is nothing mild about this beef chili with chiles chipotles… read more

Beauty in the Broken – Kinsukuroi

November 3, 2014 2 Comments

Too often we berate ourselves for moments of weakness, old wounds we can’t let go, and the inability to process and move through pain. What if instead of seeing our flaws as unseemly scars that mark us as “damaged for good” we were able to see the cracks and wounds as the things that give us… read more

Bake: Pumpkin Cookies

October 28, 2014 Leave a Comment

I love eating seasonally. Fall calls for pumpkins and apples, both ripe and pickable this time of year.

In truth they have more of a muffin consistency than a… read more

Velvet Tote

October 22, 2014 6 Comments

I’ve been told that by the third child attempting to keep an organized “diaper bag” is useless. Some wipes, a pacifier, and a few diapers thrown in your purse and you are set for kid #3. I am thinking that one of these Velvet Tote Bags would be ideal for holding my usual staples like… read more
