Bunnies will warm your heart

Happy February and Jack Rabbit (remember that first-of-the-month good luck thing)! Hope everyone is staying warm and dry today — it’s raining heavily here in Northern Virginia.  If you’re suffering from any winter doldrums, here’s something that will cheer you up: please think about adopting a rabbit from your local animal rescue or otherwise volunteering […]

Make, take, and bake (while having fun)

Have you heard of the latest way to enjoy a “girl’s night out”?  This concept has been around a few years but this is my first time dishing over dinner.   There are places popping up all over where you can go and quickly put together a gourmet dinner and bring it home to pop in […]

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  Jack Rabbit!  Carpe Diem!  Welcome 2008!!!   I hope you are off to a great start on the road to a wonderful year ahead. This may be old news now (literally last years), but this past weekend we decided to get out of town and squeeze in one last family adventure for 2007.  We […]

The Eve of Christmas Eve

Hello! It’s hard to believe it’s already December 23rd!  How did you spend your weekend?  Shopping, wrapping, baking, traveling, visiting, decorating, celebrating……???

First snow of the season!

It snowed all day!  Admittedly it was just a light snow, maybe covering an inch of the ground (okay, if you are reading this from Rochester you are rolling your eyes at me!).  But it was one of those chilly, gray-cloud kind of days.   The arrival of the snow turned my morning commute to the […]

Snippets

Hello!  Welcome back from Thanksgiving break.  I’m not looking forward to the end of this wonderful break from the routine.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  We had many little adventures around here, and I thought I’d share a few snippets (strange word when you think about it) with you.  Here are a pair […]
