I love a good podcast. And I love pretending I have the technical know-how, requisite storytelling ability and captive audience to manage a successful podcast of my own. But um, I have none of the above. I do have some ideas, though. A whole notebook full of ’em. And they’re free for the taking. Just please make sure, if you do go ahead and develop any of these ideas into the…

Today: Currently | November, 2015.
The mild weather made this month feel more like April than November, so we got plenty of adventures in. And I sort of forgot to have my snow tires put on. Whatever, man. I assumed (along with everyone else, I think) that we’d be a…

Today: Revisiting the pre-baby to-do list.
A little while back, I shared my pre-baby to-do list. Since then, I accomplished most items and added about seventy more. We’re currently in “Is he coming today?” mode, to the point that I can convince myself just about anything– from an eyelid twitch to…

Today: Six minute hummus plate.
I promise, there is hummus under all that goodness. When it’s approximately 9,012 degrees out, the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven or serve something hot ‘n heavy to friends and family. These super easy hummus plates look gorgeous, they’re…
