Getting Ready for Little B
When I posted my 6 months photo I said that I would tell you how we are “preparing” for the new baby next time. I have to use quotes when I say “preparing” because we aren’t doing much at all to get ready for little B. The biggest purchase we made was this car seat,…
Ivan Day’s Ice Cream

Citrus Quinoa Salad
Last weekend we had some crazy weather, though not uncommon for this area. Saturday was the start of the farmers market, and the warmest day we’ve had yet this year.
