The almost daily explorations and reflections of a suburban mom and wife. Wow 7 years. I can't believe that 7 years ago we were newlyweds on a high from one of the best weeks of our lives. The few days leading up to our union, our perfect wedding day and amazing honeymoon reminded us that although a short night away was definitely needed, we SO need a vacation, just the 2 of us. Maybe one of these years we'll get around to it! Our anniversary also happened to fall on Meyer's 15 month birthday! After a (s...

The almost daily explorations and reflections of a suburban mom and wife. This past weekend was filled with family, friends, fun and forgetfulness. Friday kicked everything off. We decided it would be fun to meet some friends up at a local carnival. Logan is not crazy about rides. Who am I kidding? That and the fact it reminded me of a recipe I made last summer for tequila soaked watermelon wedges. I was definitely up to the challenge. Sugar syrup? Check Pureed, strained watermelon? I laughed out loud...

The almost daily explorations and reflections of a suburban mom and wife. Shamrock shuffle race report- 2010. My goodness, I'm slow. I ran the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle 8K over a week ago and I still haven't written a race report. For a race I was so psyched about! Things just get busy or I start writing and get side-tracked.that's what happens. Life is busy! Sunday, March 21, 2010- the Shamrock Shuffle! I woke up that morning with a start. Race Day! We chatted and caught up and then we made it in...

The almost daily explorations and reflections of a suburban mom and wife. Our kitchen remodel.befores and durings! Looking back, we thought our kitchen and dining area remodeling project would be a lot easier than it turned out to be. Isn't that always the case though? But for the most part, we stayed pretty much on budget and we'll have to save up for the little touches that will personalize the space especially for us! I can live with a functional space for a bit until it gets beautified! Bye, bye ugly...

The almost daily explorations and reflections of a suburban mom and wife. Logan is fabulous FOUR today! I remember the day I became a mom so vividly. It was 4 years ago exactly and I could use lots of words to describe it- but the first one that comes to mind is surreal. Maybe because my birth experience was a little bit different than most.maybe because it was happening to ME and not someone else. Yes, it's been awhile! Our family has lots to celebrate these days. A milestone family anniversary, my ...

The almost daily explorations and reflections of a suburban mom and wife. Another awesome restaurant review. This time, we stayed a bit closer to home. Actually, a lot closer to home! Tallgrass, in downtown Lockport, is a whopping 5 minute car ride from our house and that in itself is appealing. Fine dining basically in my backyard? A definite plus in my book. Three Cheese Ravioli with Leeks, Pinenuts and Lemon Butter. Foie Gras with Crispy Proscuitto. Seared Ahi Tuna with Pickled Onion and Wasabi. The B...

There are SO MANY PEOPLE, but that's the fun part of it. I'm running with my best friend and we'll be knocking them dead! And since I already have training on the brain, what's another 17 weeks.oh, that's right- just enough time to train for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The almost daily explorations and reflections of a suburban mom and wife. In an effort to kick start my training, I have joined a local gym. I'm not crazy about the gym itself, but it has treadmills, weights and is 3 blocks away from my house. It also has several locations throughout the area so I can always take advantage of it somewhere! New year, new me! Move over, 2009.welcome 2010! This year I vow to:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
