After 1 week of Health Month, I’m out

January 10, 2010

As some of you know, Health Month started last week and I got swept up in the excitement because a) I’m wildly competitive, b) I like a good challenge and c) I can easily get wrapped up in tracking personal wellness (see: 30 by 30) Anyway, in an effort to spare you the drawn-out details, [...]

TOAD: Favorite photos from January

February 16, 2009

Rather than post every TOAD I post on Flickr on this site as well, I’m going to do an end-of-the-month post every month and highlight the handful of photos I liked the most. I’m a little late with January’s faves but here you go… Jan 1: The dismantling of the Christmas tree and the putting [...]

Resolutions for 2009

February 1, 2009

Hello, February! As usual, I have no interest in starting resolutions on new years day. I like to settle in to the new year, see how it starts and then decide what I’d like to work on for the rest of the year. Sounds like a good excuse for being tardy, right? (Shhhh. It is). [...]

So many TOADS

July 19, 2008

Some TOAD highlights from the last month…. I can’t think of a single shower that we’ve had this summer that wasn’t a total downpour. Here’s the result of a Saturday afternoon storm a few weeks ago. It flooded our entire patio (as we watched) and then later we wondered “Hmm. Do you think the basement [...]

Continuing the tradition of weekend backyard improvement, we ordered a pair of Adirondack Chairs from, where else, adirondackchairs.com of course! They arrived earlier in the week and we set out to put them together on Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend (hence the name of the event). To keep with the spirit of how we [...]

Some Garden Renovations

May 20, 2008

This past weekend was one of those amazing weekends in which you are productive from beginning to end. Almost to the end I guess. Ending at the Dram Shop after the 5th avenue street fair probably wasn’t super productive for a Sunday afternoon, but we did get to catch up with some friends and watch [...]
