Body After Baby Challenge – Week 1

Posted on September 29, 2009 by BrassyDel

I’m participating in the Body After Baby Challenge over at the Mama Notes blog. The Challenge lasts for 8 weeks and each week there is an individual mini challenge. Not having participated before, I was really afraid of the first challenge. What was it going to be? How many push-ups can you do? (Does one-half count?) How many miles can…

Have a Happy Punctuation Day!

Posted on September 24, 2009 by BrassyDel

So today is National Punctuation Day, and I’m a huge nerd. Given the combination of those two things, I celebrated punctuation today in the only way I really saw fit: I baked cookies. Punctuation cookies. I started with the basic recipe for Sugar Cookie Cut Outs from my Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, but since I am not a huge…

One Man’s Weed…

Posted on September 21, 2009 by BrassyDel

…is another man’s wildflower. That man is my Hubbles. One of our constant arguments is what is a weed and what is actually a flower? For example, there’s an ugly bunch of weeds in our front yard next to the driveway. They grow like wildfire, they’re kind of spiky, and they have gnarly-looking yellow flowers. Hubbles says they’re flowers, duh….

Not-So-Secret Garden

Posted on September 16, 2009 by BrassyDel

Almost three years ago, Hubbles and I bought a run-down, foreclosed house that had been vacant for months. Unfortunately for Hubbles, I guess I saw a lot of what the house could be and not enough of what the house was. One aspect of that is the yard. You can tell that, at some point in time, it was gorgeous….

Fluff Butt Giveaways

Posted on September 5, 2009 by BrassyDel

As many of my friends know (much to their repeated annoyance, I’m sure) I’m a huge fan of cloth diapers. Baby H has been in cloth since about two weeks old, and it’s difficult sometimes since she is so, so tiny. Cloth diapers that rave about being OS (one size) and can take your child “from birth to potty training!”…

Just for the Halibut

Posted on August 7, 2009 by BrassyDel

Recently, some wonderful folks that Hubbles and I are lucky to call friends went to Alaska, where they caught about a zillion pounds of Halibut. They gifted us with some tasty, tasty fish and I tried out a new recipe last week for it. The recipe is from one of my favorite recipe go-to sites, All Recipes. I made Halibut…
