Another good news/bad news...
Since this is occasionally a food blog, I thought it apropos to share this milestone: Tonight, Saturday - mind you, I found cooking at home more appealing than going out to dinner (a favorite pastime of mine.) After swim team spirit day, boarding Mr. Cooper (sob), and camping prep, I couldn't wait to get home and play at creating my chopped salad. (It was ga-ood).

Maybe it has something to do with this book, which I've been reading and mentioning over and over.  Stories of the seasons of life and parenting, all mixed in with awesome recipes and strategies totally does it for me.

Oh, the bad news? After dinner I did some major stress-induced M&M snacking. Like, I ate a lot of them. Oh, well. One indulgence won't kill me, right? : )

Hi Jen, this is Chloe :) I found you on facebook through Christina R. and saw that you had a blog. It's so nice to see that you are having a relaxing summer. Wow, Paige has grown so tall and Is that your kitchen in the photo? Love it :) I also follow DALS but haven't had a chance to read the book.

I just finished my first year of teaching preschool and really enjoyed it...all thanks to you! You prepared me so well in every area to succeed in the classroom. When I wasn't sure what to do, I found myself thinking: "What would Jen do/say?" hah anyways, just wanted to say hello and that I hope we can keep in touch.
