Thanksgiving Tree

Posted on: November 26, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
I’ve kind of become obsessed with trees over the years. I think Christmas got me started. I don’t know what it is, but nothing makes me happier then staring at a beautifully composed Christmas tree all lit up, with a…

Holiday Decorations

Posted on: November 24, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
I have to admit, I normally skip right over Thanksgiving. We’ve rarely been home for it, and our Halloween and Christmas over-the-top-ness tends to just swallow it whole. But this year I’m actually hosting, so I had to at least…

Come see what I’ve been working on….

Posted on: November 21, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
As I’ve mentioned once or twice now, I have been working on the house really hard lately. I’ve got all kinds of projects I’ll focus on individually, but for today I thought I’d give you an updated tour of the…

A Dream Come True

Posted on: November 19, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
There are about seven different paths I could have gone down in life and still been happy. One of them is as a chef. Culinary school always sat in the back of my mind as something that I would love…

Happy Halloween!

Posted on: October 30, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
In celebration of my second favorite holiday, I thought I’d brave this stupid molasses-slow computer and share some photos. It’s taken me all day, so I hope you appreciate my commitment to showing off. I not only inherited Bear’s grandma’s…

The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner

Posted on: October 17, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
Everyone, meet Liz. Liz, this is everyone. Who could resist this welcome? Liz is Bear’s aunt on his dad’s side, and she is just one of my very favorite people in the world, and a huge source of inspiration to…

My new happy place

Posted on: October 12, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
I have a serious soft spot for fancy grocery stores. If the only deli options are cold cuts or fried chicken, then I am seriously disappointed. I want salads involving barley, and stuff in the produce department that I’ve never…

The mother of all Tutorials

Posted on: October 10, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
Months and months ago Bear and I worked together one weekend and we finally made a super deluxe kitty scratching post. So super fancy you couldn’t get one this decked out at any price. The kitties adore it, and I…

We Might Have Gotten Carried Away on This One

Posted on: October 6, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
Ta Da! This cake was complicated, and I can’t say we were completely successful. But close enough. Despite the fact that at one point I got so frustrated with our dadgum royal icing that I may or may not have…

Big weekend plans

Posted on: October 3, 2008 Last updated on: November 11, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
Going over my change of address card yesterday reminded me that I don’t think I’ve mentioned Bear’s new hobby. This makes a grand total of four. Me, sports, TV, and now baking. In that order. Years of watching the Food…

Some coping tools from your emotional doula…

I sent a message to one friend, and then started writing an email to another friend, and then thought of other friends I wanted to include, and then finally I just gave myself a talking to. Tresa. Tree. Be Brave.…

The Social Model of Adversity

Atticus had his latest surgery this week, an operation on his knees that one of our friends and CP mentors calls “a right of passage for a CP kid.” We are home from a week in the hospital now, licking…

Productivity in the Pandemic

I had a different topic for this post in mind, but when I looked up the date and realized we’re almost through May already, I needed to toss it out for a mini-existential breakdown. Whew. Time, eh? I love hearing…

We Can Do It

I’ve spent the entire last six weeks sewing my heart out. Sustainably at first, just one project among many I’d spend my time on. A little ironing here, a little sewing there. When I started, people were still scoffing at…

There Never Was a Normal

I’ve been quieter here than I anticipated when I announced my return. Current events and a global pandemic threw all our plans up in the air and laughed. I’ve struggled with knowing exactly what to say. I’m in a very…
