If Wishes were Fishes
I had an idea around 3am this morning, and that idea was this:
What would I do if I had no children?
Children are lovely, and bring a lot of joy to life. They also absorb an extraordinary amount of time and energy. So I thought, I'll make a list of things I would do if I didn't have children. And then I'll do them anyway.
Go to Paris
Sew my own clothes
Cook dishes that contain blue cheese, capers, or zucchini, all of which I really like
Paint my nails
Ride my bicycle
Walk to work
Go to the farmer's market
Wear expensive jewelry, silk dresses and pretty shoes. Maybe not on the same days that I walk to work.
Drink wine
Go on picnics
Go see grown up movies

Grill It Up - Portobellos in Heaven
We recently had a barbecue and I invented an entree for the veggie guests. It was a huge hit, so without further delay I give you the recipe for Grilled Portobello mushrooms with brie and lemon thyme. Just be prepared to be knocked over by greedy guests trying to get to these...
portobello mushrooms
olive oil
fresh lemon thyme
pepper and sea salt
brie
Oil the tops and bottoms of the mushrooms. Place a couple slices of brie on each mushroom. Top with sprigs of lemon thyme and grind over some pepper and sprinkle on the sea salt. Grill until mushrooms are shriveling a bit and brie is melted.
If you were ambitious, you could serve these on a slice of buttery grilled garlic toast with a little dressed frisee on the side.

Printable Stationery
I'm in love with printable stationery. It's instant gratification (you are emailed a pdf) and you print only as many as you need. And it's CHEAP! Here are some of my recent purchases:
Printable cherry blossom stationery set from print.abilities on Etsy. Free library card and envelope printables from creaturecomforts
Creature Comforts Personalized Owl stationery set from vanityclaire on Etsy.

We're in Outer Space
It's all about space at our house these days (and poop, but you don't want to hear about that). We found this book at the library last night and read it before bed. What a great idea! Jack wants to visit all the planets and this book discusses what it would be like to go on a mission to the moon.
We recently bought him this poster and framed it and he sits in front of it naming all the planets.
