Posted on: February 16, 2012 Last updated on: September 14, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon

I’ve been looking for a good facewash ever since I started Project Put Together. I’m still dealing with acne on a regular basis, and I’m also starting to get some wrinkles. I need something that can get rid of the…

What I’m Eating – Yogurt with Fresh Fruit

Posted on: January 19, 2012 Last updated on: September 18, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
I’m not usually a big yogurt fan – the texture is a bit hard for me to eat sometimes. But it’s so dang good for you that I keep trying to find a way that works. Whenever I get home…

Tights

Posted on: November 17, 2011 Last updated on: September 22, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon

What I’m Eating – Edamame

Posted on: November 3, 2011 Last updated on: September 22, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon

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…
