Potatoes Brumbaugh

May 17, 2011

As a child of the 80’s, I definitely watched my share of television miniseries on TV or on VHS tape. My all time favorite of those miniseries is Centennial. I dreamt of being Elly Zendt and running away to the West with Levi Zendt. I didn’t want it to end in a snakebite like her […]

Every time that I use the KidCo Go-Pod, I think that it is the most wonderful baby thing that I have purchased. I will try to put into words how much I love it. First of all, I can use it everywhere! It goes in the kitchen for the Tomato to jump, stand and play […]

This year, we are adding some new foods to our backyard garden. Among those newbies are peas. I love peas and the Tomato eats them up. When I was deciding which type of heirloom peas to grow, I came across the Green Arrow peas in the High Mowing Seed catalog. Since DH and I have […]

April 23, 2011

As our daughter, the Tomato, has become more and more mobile, rolling, sitting up on her own and now standing, we have needed some floor coverage that is a softer landing than our wood floors.

How to Declutter Your Books

April 11, 2011

When I used to run, before the Tomato arrived, I was one of those folks that would get a runner’s high if the distance was long enough. I would feel euphoric and ready to take on the world. Hopefully, when the Tomato is big enough for me to run with her in the BOB stroller, […]
