The Weekend Send-Off

February 11th, 2011 - posted under: Furthermore » Feedback


What a strange, strange winter it’s been! While the rest of the country is pummeled with record snowstorms, us folks here in Oregon are enjoying outdoor play in February. We were supposed to get 12 inches of snow this winter; instead I’m hiking at elevation with naught but a flimsy thin (RAD) sweatshirt!

It’s also flying by, it seems. For you too? I feel like I just said goodbye to my market, but next month is March and March is when the market returns! Wha-??? This weekend Damian and I start working on the garden ‘remodel’. So exciting! It’s almost time to start seeds!

Just a reminder that this month’s MMM is super fantastic. Have you checked it out yet? We’ve already had a number of gift recipients come and find the site. That is so wonderful! I love the simplicity of this mission and I love how much it touches people. What a lovely thing to put out in to the world – thank you guys for being so awesome and making it happen.

And speaking of love . . . the Love List! Oh, of course.
1. Announcing my first book!!! Yeah, that was FUN
2. Reading all the comments when I announced my book, and especially hearing from some of my most active readers that they’ll be *needing* that book sometime very soon. EXCITING!!
3. Planning my Valentines Day menu, which will include a modified omg alfredo and a raw chocolate raspberry torte. OH YES

Now your turn!

My darlings, this happy little post will stay at the top of the page all weekend, so stop by any time to leave your Love List, ask a question, or offer some feedback! Or if you’re new, please introduce yourself and say ‘Oi!’! This is your community, so get involved!

Have a fantabulous weekend!

Feeding The Bonzai Baby, An Introduction

I had no idea how many theories there are regarding when, how, and what, to feed a baby. Um – there’s a LOT. It’s enough to make your head spin! And for this mama, it was enough to make me say “Hmmm . . . I think I’m just gonna go with my gut on [...]

How To Make (and what the heck is??) Water Kefir

February 9th, 2011 - posted under: The Food » Recipes

Ensconced in my current obsession with all things cultured, I’ve spent the last few months struggling to crack the water kefir code. Water kefir should be light and refreshing, mildly sweet and fantastically fizzy. So fun! It’s basically homemade fruit soda – but with a probiotic twist. And finally, finally I’ve got a technique down [...]

and then, i wrote a book

February 7th, 2011 - posted under: Furthermore » Inspiration

When I became pregnant, the first thing I did was head down to the Herbivore store in search of good reading material. I remember that Michelle asked if I needed anything, and me, sort of puzzled, wondered aloud where the books on vegan pregnancy were. “NOWHERE” she exclaimed. “You should write one!” We had a [...]

Oh, hello lover! (that would be The Weekend, my dear sweet love). Absence makes the heart grow fonder and I have missed you so! I’ve got a ‘practically family’ friend flying into town just a few short hours from now. We’ve had amazing weather and I’ve been super inspired and yesterday my son turned 11 [...]
