We made it to August. July feels like a blur of projects and farmer's markets. I'll be sharing thoughts on our local produce experiment soon – it was an awesome adventure. I got a lot of work crossed off my list in July only to enter August with a whole new list. But this stuff…

My very first home-grown tomato. Planted, watered, fussed over, waited on, cheered for, plucked, cut, sprinkled with salt & pepper, enjoyed today for lunch. By far, the greatest tomato I have ever eaten. HOORAY!

April was crazy around here. May is set up to be almost as nuts. Taking things one day at a time and REJOICING that Paul and I have got our balance back together. I am very passionate about all the items on this month's goals list. Going to really work towards these and embrace as…

I knocked everything on February's list out. My goals this month are totally indulgent and awesome because March is going to be totally indulgent and awesome. I deserve it. Paul deserves it. March, you are unbelievable already. I have so much good stuff planned for you including a party, a roadtrip and a long list…
