Slice of Life Day 28: My Place to Relax
The same time I was finishing up graduate school, my parents downsized in square footage and upsized (is that a word?) the gorgeous property quotient. They found a log home on 13 acres of land in the country with a private lake on the property. So when I spend time…

Slice of Life Day 27: Looking Forward to the Weekend
This week seems to be passing by so slowly! My parents (and their dog), plus my brother, sister-in-law and my niece and nephew are all coming into town this weekend! It’s been a few months since I’ve seen everyone – it was Christmas time when I saw my brother’s family…

Slice of Life Day 26: A New Jar of Peanut Butter
There’s something about a new jar of peanut butter – smooth and creamy, untouched by the many knives that will soon dig deep to get every last bit. I opened a new jar of peanut butter yesterday morning and like I do with every new jar, took a quick moment…

Slice of Life Day 22: Falafel Tonight, Samosas Tomorrow
I’ve mentioned that I love to cook – when I’m not working or reading, you’ll most likely find me in the kitchen. For dinner tonight? Falafel sandwiches, homemade of course. I found an amazing recipe in Cooking Light that makes falafel very quick and easy to make, plus it’s delicious!…

Slice of Life Day 21: Spring Cold
I was doing so well! I made it through the holidays and the bleak weather in January and February without getting sick! I was taking my vitamins, using a humidifier at night, and trying to drink lots of water. But then yesterday, I started feeling a little yucky. And I…

Slice of Life Day 20: Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold
During the past two days, I’ve had that lovely feeling of when you climb into the car and the inside is all warm and cozy from the sunlight streaming through the windows. I absolutely love that feeling in early spring. It’s still a little chilly outside, but once you climb…

Slice of Life Day 19: What I’m Reading
I’m a complete nerd when it comes to my interests outside of work – I love children’s literature (as is obvious from my blog). I love reading it, talking about it, and sharing it with others. So, when I was at work on Sunday and checked out what was on…
