Lately

I blinked and the summer is already half over. In a few short weeks the air will be crisp, football season will kick off and my sweet pea will turn one. Either our cold and wet Spring has me off or I am still sleep deprived from 8+ months of waking every few hours. Whatever it is, you can’t deny that the heat of Summer is upon us (it’s been close to 90+ degrees with high humidity for as long as I can remember). We are all (knock on wood) finally sleeping through the night on a regular basis, save for a few wet diaper mishaps, and I am starting to feel a bit rested.

L, who is 10 months old, just started crawling and is getting his molars. M is officially an energetic little boy who forms complex sentences and is constantly engaging in creative play. I’m still working through Rachel Cosgrove’s Drop Two Sizes weight lifting plan and seeing huge gains in strength. I’ll have to write an official post about the plan sometime soon. Allan is still kicking ass at Target. I am so darn proud of him. I’ve always told him that he was going to do amazing things and he is.

Our CSA is in full swing cranking out beautiful greens, onions, turnips and kohlrabi. Sometime this week I will be making my first ever kohlrabi dish. I still haven’t decided on a recipe to try, I think I’m so nervous to pick the wrong one! What’s your favorite way to enjoy kohlrabi?

I am so thankful for our weekly fruit share deliveries. It’s so nice to pick up a huge box of fresh, organic fruit and not have to travel to the grocery store on the regular; save for a handful of trips to pick up dozens of organic local eggs, bananas and apples.
