On our way down to Arizona we were able to spend the night at my oldest & most dearest of friends, Veronica’s (and Alan) house. We have that friendship where you immediately pick up where you left off, and there’s no need to explain family history. It’s refreshing! its so comfortable, I made myself rightContinue reading “My Favorite Summer Drink: A Thirsty Crow”

The Best Secret in Being Hospitable
I am in Arizona. I had plans of what my time here would look like. Trips to see old high school friends swirled in my head. Inviting people over after my girls were asleep to do some cooking classes (this last one has never been vocalized till now). I have had the want to cram asContinue reading “The Best Secret in Being Hospitable”
Scellick Road Trip Take Three
We woke up the morning of to surprise the girls of our destination. They had no idea, and I had been long awaiting to tell them. We sat down and asked about ideas for the day. I asked them if they would like to go for a walk across the street that morning to seeContinue reading “Scellick Road Trip Take Three”
Scellick Road Trip Take Two
On day three of our journey we drove along the boring part of the 5, until it was time for lunch. It’s in these times where having Yelp on your phone is pretty handy. I came across a review of this place called Bravo Farms boasting of good food, ice cream/toy shop and an outdoorContinue reading “Scellick Road Trip Take Two”
Scellick Road Trip Take One
Our family recently went on a little road trip, where we traveled through four states, visited with friends we hadn’t seen in a long while, made it to Disneyland and came to realize I am cut out for traveling with my kids (for the most part). Mt. Shasta is the tallest peak in the lowerContinue reading “Scellick Road Trip Take One”
Beginning our Week of Travels
Our family is set to depart this weekend to road trip it down to Arizona. I’ve been so enmeshed in the here and now of our day to day schedule that I haven’t given the reality of us actually being in Arizona much thought. Family meals have consisted of frozen gluten-free pizza I found atContinue reading “Beginning our Week of Travels”
On Being an ENFJ (open confessional letter)
After a conversation this morning, I began thinking about my personality as an ENFJ. I reflected on how much I have evolved since my early 20s, and how to a well-seasoned & mature ENFJ; they might not be able to see we held the same title. Now, as I’m nearing my 35th year of life,Continue reading “On Being an ENFJ (open confessional letter)”
Easy Peasy Limey Squeezy Carne Asada
If you’re familiar with cuts of a cow; then, you know you are only alloted two flanks in one beef cow. There are so many recipes, which call for a flank. Prior to ever buying our own cow I had never given it much thought. Like most Americans, you simply go to the store andContinue reading “Easy Peasy Limey Squeezy Carne Asada”
Mango-Avocado Salsa Salad
As I stood in my kitchen the other day dreaming up ideas of Whole30 meals, mangos and avocados came to mind. Originally I pictured these long sliced avocados with slices of mango and freshly squeezed lime poured over them with a sprinkling of salt. I wanted to keep it simple. The idea morphed into meContinue reading “Mango-Avocado Salsa Salad”
When We Want to Throw in the Towel
It’s late and I should most likely be in bed. However, I am squeezing out the little within me to get back to the discipline of writing; because I miss it dearly. I miss being able to share my heart, to weave words together, to challenge myself and give room for us to gather. AndContinue reading “When We Want to Throw in the Towel”
