just your typical gal who loves her family, TV, cooking, techy goodness, oregon duck football and nearly everything sci-fi/fantasy.

Making a little lemon ricotta to top my meatballs as taught by the beautiful @daisynanryan. Oh how I miss her and @gregorydavidryan!

Headed into day five of nine away from this face. He decorated a card for me that he said I'm "really gonna love, mommy." #misshim

This is how I sleep sometimes, too. #kitty-robics

Can someone please explain how we choked down vegetables before roasting was all the rage? #yum #blastit

Kindergarten!! Photo bomb by Ollie Bear. New jeans on order... Mommy has been slacking in the school clothes department.

Beets and burrata with olive oil, sea salt and mint. Fresh and delicious.

Trying to recreate a yummy dish from meals past with @gdrpdx and @daisynanryan. Too bad my peaches aren't quite ripe.

Brie with fig jam, sav blanc and Return of the Jedi. Classic combination. #momandfinnnight #starwars

Dessert before dinner today. A treat for being a good kid while mommy knocked out some errands at the mall. #mommyandmeday #redmango (at Bellevue Square)

Prosciutto-wrapped chicken thighs with butternut squash ravioli drizzled with sage-browned butter sauce. #yum #sundaynightdinner

Second day of the weekend I have found myself enjoying the peace of our neighborhood, a new cooking rag and a frosty beverage on my front porch. These are the summer moments I live for.

Even cool kids fall asleep in the cat every now and again. Having other kids to play with all weekend is exhausting.

There were ups and downs during tonight's art hanging adventure. There was also this ridiculous ladder situation created by @dadofinn to torture me.

[nowwherediputmycake]

Before and after - our lovely new artwork finally framed. Thanks to @gdrpdx and @daisynanryan for the beautiful gift! @dadofinn had his work cut out for him hanging this monster.
