just our day to day life
We got these cheese curls at Whole Foods in January and LOVED them! When I said I wanted to buy them, Lo said he wasn’t a big fan of cheese curls (WHAT??! I know – who doesn’t love fake cheese!). But he actually really liked …
I am a failure at taking vitamins. Lo got me a vitamin organizer and fills it each week for me, which helps, but I still regularly forget to take them. He fills the container each Wednesday and just informed me that I took 9 out …
The year 2012 is the bicentennial for Columbus, Ohio. Yay, Columbus! Nationwide occasionally spells out words in the windows at night and I have to admit when I first saw this several weeks ago, I totally asked Lo why they spelled out “Columbus Zoo” in …

I’ve read 3 books in the five or six weeks and had pretty different opinions on all of them. Water for Elephants was definitely my favorite among them, I would recommend In Cold Blood for people who like crime stories, and I wouldn’t recommend Stern …
BBQ Chicken Calzone with Pineapple Salsa A few weeks ago when we were making pizza, Lo froze half of the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Dough that he had mixed up. He was having gluten-full pizza, so we didn’t need one big enough for …
