I keep going back and forth — between reading this very persuasive book about why it’s healthiest to eat a plant-based diet, and how some of my most favorite ingredients (butter, cream, meat, sugar, chocolate chips) are horrible, terrible, very! very! BAD for you . . .
And browsing through Pioneer Woman Cooks, salivating while planning the upcoming […]

Wow, you gals are awesome. (Gals + my daddy-o, who gave his advice over the phone rather than commenting here.) Thank you so much for all the tips; I am now a runner!
You were right, I did just need to push myself a bit more and the endorphins kicked in and I can now run 30+ […]
Anyone can become a runner. Have you heard people say that? Do you think it’s true? I mean, barring any obvious problems, do you think most people with decently functioning legs and lungs can actually get good at running? Get to like running, even?
Someone told me you just have to do it consistently for three weeks. […]

If you are on Twitter (and maybe even if not), I’m sure you’re quite tired of hearing me whine about my pathetic relationship with foods containing a certain white substance. Please feel free to make use of that little red X in the upper right hand corner of your screen now, as this post is […]

Still don’t have a working computer. Still unpacking and organizing. Also, throwing a party for my oldest tomorrow. Will blog more … sometime.
For now, here, you can enjoy this little tirade of mine. I wrote it as an email to a friend a few months ago. She was pregnant and slightly lamenting about her figure, which […]

Anyone who claims sugar is not addictive is LYING.
Am having major withdrawals here. CANNOT TAKE IT.
Ahem.
But I will. I will persevere! I will conquer!
(Maybe.)
I know I said I would allow myself a reasonable treat today, it being my birthday and all, but you know what? The fact that I am feeling THIS deprived by not having sugar […]

Excepting birthdays and weddings. Come on, I have to be realistic about my ability to withstand temptation.
Speaking of which, my birthday is tomorrow! Will I finally feel like a grown-up at 28? And Jade is turning 3 on Wednesday. Then we are going to Utah for a wedding (or two, maybe). We’ll be in the […]

In this highly medical community, with the two major hospitals competing for business (I’m told one even boasts steak dinners!), I’m frequently asked where I delivered my baby. The general response when I tell them we just stayed home has been positive, if a little astonished. And maybe they’re just polite and very good at […]
My sweet mother-in-law (hate using that term, it sounds so, I don’t know, unfriendly or something, but is there an alternative?) gave me a wonderful book for Christmas all about nutrition and herbs and other methods of natural healing.
I love it, every time I pick it up to look up one thing, I get sucked in […]

I went to church today and you would think I walked in with three chickens on my head for the looks and comments I got.
No, I don’t feel like I have to get up and jump right back into things just days after having a baby. I’ve been taking it easy — really easy — for a week and […]
Hi, I'm Kate.
I have a propensity for rambling at length about parenting, attempting crafting projects far beyond my capabilities, staying up entirely too late, and craving sugary treats. This is my journal.
(More details?)
