I am slowly coming to grips with the daily ups and downs of life with two, with the complete lack of time to get things done, and with the incredible emotional roller coaster of parenting a 2.5 year old. But I’m finding myself thinking more about what I … Continue reading One day soon…

We’ve been enjoying the CSA, as always, of course. Tuck has finally gotten on board with corn on the cob, though I haven’t been able to budge his bias against tomatoes yet. We’ve been sticking … Continue reading As summer sweeps by…

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I should be doing with this blog. (Obviously more than nothing, which has been the status for far too long.) Honestly, this pregnancy has been much harder than the first–chasing a very active toddler is incredibly draining, and I’ve been … Continue reading Feeding a toddler: I refuse to be beaten

Oh look, summer http://kateflaim.com/2011/07/oh-look-summer/ http://kateflaim.com/2011/07/oh-look-summer/#comments Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:10:49 +0000 http://kateflaim.com/?p=1320 Maybe if I take the pressure off and post Instagram pictures from my phone I’ll update more often? Worth a try. Last night we ate a delicious (and deliciously-local) simple summer dinner. Beautiful baby new potatoes from the farm: I brought them to a boil with a couple halved cloves of garlic, then simmered until … Continue reading Oh look, summer

It’s spring. Supposedly. It is going to snow tonight, but we’re ignoring that because the CSA has started up! This year Stone Soup is offering “Spring Treat” shares every two weeks until the summer shares begin in June. They include fun stuff like eggs and treats from other farms–this week we got two … Continue reading How would you like a Spring Treat?

The part I was a bit smug about, actually, was how I used up the many leftovers that were packing the fridge after Tom left.

I think Tucker can sense when I’m thinking of getting back to blogging, because that’s inevitably when the previously-silent monitor lights up with a ravenous scream. He’s a great baby, a solid night-time sleeper, and awfully cute, but during the day he doesn’t take well to naps in his bassinet, … Continue reading CSA Weeks 11-15: Summer to Fall

No, I didn’t have a baby (yet). I just haven’t posted–I’m running around like a crazy person trying to get things done done done before he arrives. Also my camera has randomly started acting up.
