I was absolutely heartbroken yesterday to learn that Sentinel Butchery had closed their doors after a valiant attempt to provide best quality, local meats to the Capital District. Maybe you never had a chance to get to Emily Peterson's shop or consume the products she brought from farm to table, but I assure it was … Continue reading Crushed for my crush

Taking Samson for a haircut
The Lilly boys have all been blessed with good hair. Thick, shiny, and curly hair are represented in our household, all without the addition of products or fussing. Isn’t that always the way with boys? Through the years, the guys have gradually gone from bald to blonde to light brown to dark hair. Their hairstyles … Continue reading Taking Samson for a haircut
I need (to have) a dog

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
I've been going through a Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac phase. It was prompted by the book I'm currently reading, a Stevie Nicks biography. The book is no where near the quality of the music I've been listening to on my Fleetwood Mac Pandora station, but I have learned a few new things about one of my … Continue reading Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
