A Boy And Girl

Last night I took some video of Finn biting the bubbles we bought for him when we were in Philly. They are peach flavored and hold their shape for a while- much longer than Finn’s attention span. Did you know Josh originally wanted a bulldog? One of the really ugly, tough looking ones? I may [...]

Josh and I spent last weekend in Philly, celebrating our one year anniversary. We did some shopping and later met friends for an incredible dinner at Vetri. We were really missing our puppy after a while so we stopped into Doggie Style, to pick up some goodies for Finn. Finn loves stuffed toys, but he [...]

Finnegan has always been afraid of water. Not just dislike, I’m talking pure frozen in-place, terror of water. From refusing to go outside during rain to having to be dragged on the grass afterwards when it’s wet. And I feel partly to blame. When I first bathed him after bringing him home from the shelter, [...]

Josh and I had so much fun last night hanging out with Alison at my parents farm in Kempton, (you may have seen it before…). I can’t get enough of this time of year, perfect for hanging out on the grass (even better when you have a puppy’s tummy to rub) and cloud-watching. See all [...]

There are many reasons why I really want to love eggs with runny yolks. First of all, I hope to follow in my sisters’ footsteps and have my own chickens, and what better, fresher yolks could you get? They’re also so lovely and versatile, plus I’m seriously considering starting an egg cup collection, so I [...]

Josh and I took an impromptu camping trip on Sunday. Fortunately we were able to find a campsite that allowed dogs (even on such a busy Memorial Day weekend!), so Finny got to experience camping for the first time. He seemed pretty happy to be with us and enjoyed hanging out at our site, sniffing [...]

I am so happy to be using our grill and eating outside again! Tonight I made chicken and zucchini with a feta/yogurt dipping sauce, slightly adapted from this recipe, along with some tabbouleh. It was actually cooler outside than it was in our house, and it felt great to sit outside. Finn would really like [...]

Someone hasn’t quite come to terms with his recent growth spurt. We make it work.

We (well, mostly I) had a busy day yesterday throwing a baby shower for Josh’s brother and girlfriend and our soon-to-be niece, so we’re taking it pretty easy today. I still managed to crank out a blueberry crumb pie (and use my sweet squirrel cookie cutter from Ikea) and fill up a planter with leftover [...]

After a dismal first week of (trout) fishing in the area I headed back out early on a sunny Saturday morning. I brought along an old bucket full of water in hopes of stocking our own stream in our backyard. Hopes weren’t high, but I was still hoping to catch at least one, and catch [...]
