i have measured out my life with coffee spoons

documenting life with my family while building a house that will have flowers in the window and good soup on the stove.

Soy sauce run with kiddo. 2.5m #bikenotdrive

Used my lunch hour to bike to the dr office for a referral and then to the grocery store to pick up tonight’s dinner ingredients. Perfect biking weather. #bikenotdrive

Today’s #bikenotdrive adventure was brought to you by the library and McDonald’s chicken nuggets.

It was a lovely afternoon for a bike ride.

Decided to bike instead of drive to the grocery store last night for rice and strawberries. It was a much more enjoyable errand on bike.

kiddo saying 'fudgie’ instead of ‘fuji’ will never fail to make me smile.  we had to wait at the fuji store while my camera was being serviced, and he kept saying, “how long do we have to stay at fudgie for??”

a new school year

kiddo started first grade today.  it hit me harder than i thought it would - i really miss him right now.  he was super excited this morning - there was no fear or apprehension at all.  i’m in awe of him - i would have been worrying about every detail especially all the “news” - new building, new teacher, new routine. 

i can’t wait for him to get home so i can interrogate him about his day.  i’ll probably get a bunch of “i don’t knows” but i really just want to give him a big hug and let him know how much he was missed.
