To take advantage of the holiday (since we both have it off), we decided to take ourselves on a little excursion to Cutler Marsh, which I pass every day on my way to and from work. At first, I was disappointed–the entire lake was frozen over, and the landscape looked just like anywhere else, complete …
Meatless Cooking . . . Hearty Potato Soup
Well, here we are–in the thick of being part-time vegetarians. Basically so far it’s consisted mostly of either dishes involving beans or pasta and way more salads in a week than we eat in a few months. I decided I need to find more meatless recipes. (Or maybe just more motivation to try out new …
50 Weeks to Organized: Week 3
If you remember from last week’s post, this week’s challenge was all about clearing the clutter from the countertops in the kitchen. Since the kitchen is THE place to be in our apartment, it is also the place that tends to accumulate junk the quickest. A few things were immediately apparent: *I needed a place …
Tuesday Tell-All
*Sometimes Matt and I will match clothes without even trying to, like in this photo from a week and a half ago. I mean honestly, sometimes it looks like we plan it! But then I talked to this friend of mine, and she admitted to me that her and her husband often DO purposely match …

Thoughts On Being Out of Touch
Photo taken from this post Sometimes I like to look back through my blog to remind myself of how I’ve grown and what’s been going on the past few years. It’s one of my favorite things about being a blogger, actually–I can reminisce and remember and read about my life almost anywhere, anytime. On days …
Here’s What’s Cooking. . . Black Bean Soup
Matt and I have been going all out on the part-time vegetarian resolution we have. At first I thought it would be really hard to keep this particular goal, but I think that over time, we might even extend it to four or five days a week. Of course, in typing all that, I will …
50 Weeks to Organized: Week 2
If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that last week’s task (and my first task of the year) was to take on the clutter of my living room. I figured I’d start there since it’s the first room people see (including myself), so it sets the tone for the rest of our home. If …
