i just started reading this and i have been continuously fascinated. nutrition is one of my interests already, but since becoming pregnant with graham, a top priority. we need to be taking advantage of the information available to us now. if most people were offered a pill that promised health and long life their child, they would buy it. what if you told that parent the same results could come from healthy eating? i assume, those same parents would say, "nah". no wonder the "say no to drugs" slogan is gone. our country has embraced them.
i have have never been particularly good at anything. don't get me wrong, i think i'm awesome. but, i have found what i am good at is being a mother. i love it. i am proud of the mother i am. there's no doubt i sometimes linger on some of the blogs i read and wish i was crafty or magic in the kitchen. alas, i am good at what matters. i will work on the rest!

let's all scream!

ice cream! argh, over at dashandbella they are whipping up the good stuff! the brown sugar ice cream with butterscotch chips and the peanut butter ice cream with graham cracker crumbs look and sound beyond delicious!!!

little AND small

I've mentioned Little Bean a bunch. It's an wondrous local shop full of kiddo treasure. Somehow I don't think I've written anything about the owner's online magazine, Small. Christine Visneau and many other creative people have contributed to making this an amazing online read. The magazine is full of kiddo activities, fashion, recipes, decor, I mean the list goes on. It's no doubt worth a look!

i stumbled across my new favorite idea, cocktail popsicles! these are peaches and cream with bourbon. nom, nom. foundhere

though i don't need a new dress, the popsicles are CAAAAAALIN" me! booze or no booze, they look delicious.
