Fall is one of Alex’s and my favorite seasons. I love, love, looooove fall cooking – come August I’m DONE with salads, grilling and light eating and ready to throw on a pot of chili, bake some pumpkin muffins and indulge in rich, hearty dinners. In any case, we’re enjoying the start of fall here …

Ben’s First Day of “Preschool”
Ben had his first day of “preschool” this past week. As a way to get him more time with other kids his age and to get him out of the house we signed him up for a cooperative preschool near our house. He’ll go to school twice a week for the whole school year. A …
Ben is 15 Months Old!
My baby is really not a baby anymore. Last weekend he turned into a toddler before my eyes and today he is 15 months old. This little boy is making leaps and bounds right now – I can’t keep up with all of the changes. Ben is the light of our life and we absolutely …
Busy, Busy, Busy!
Holy cats! August is shaping up to be NUTS for us. We have SO much going on this month it’s going to be hard to keep up! I even started writing in our calendar who is taking which car on what days so that we can manage everything right down to the nitty gritty details. …

Ben is 13 Months Old!
I’m not sure if I’ll really keep up with the month-by-month updates now that Ben is one. He has been doing so many new and fun things lately that I wanted to try to document it, so here we are… This beautiful baby of ours has turned into a true-to-form toddler over the last six …
Ben’s One Year Photo Shoot
We recently had a little family photo shoot in honor of Ben turning one. I charged our photographer with capturing our family in a very natural way – playing at the park, walking through our neighborhood and eating ice cream. While ice cream isn’t a part of Ben’s everyday life, taking walks through our neighborhood …
Mondays and Fridays
Right now I work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, which leaves me home with Ben on Mondays and Fridays. I absolutely love my days at home with him. I usually plan something to get us out of the house every afternoon, and conveniently, I have a lot of friends who don’t work on either Mondays …
