July 2, 2009 by hollie Exercise and Fitness

This is me this morning after my half hour on the stationary bike. I’m exhausted. I’m so out of shape it’s surprising I can get up the stairs to bed.
Mmmmm, bed. The question at this point isn’t WILL I take a nap, it’s WHERE WILL I? The kids are in daycare today, which means I [...]

While looking at DIY spice rack ideas, I also found this, called, “Knife Storage Solutions“:

Kids love Cthulhu dogs!

April 24, 2009 by hollie Kids

My friend Sonja sent me a link this morning to a picture of these hot dogs, which were stuck with dry spaghetti when cold, and then boiled to create these completely awesome Cthulhu-squid-spaghetti monster dogs.
You can find the original post on Livejournal, where the guy who posted the photo says:

Weekend update: with cake!

April 20, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I sure did! It was Jason’s birthday, so he came out to visit and we had a little birthday weekend that included the most delicious cake I think I’ve ever had in my entire life (except this one time when I tasted something called “Banana Cream Cake” and [...]

February 10, 2009 by hollie Exercise and Fitness

For several years, Greg and I had a True brand treadmill that we [...]

Vegan Black Bean Soup in a Vita-Mix (or other blender)

November 6, 2008 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

I keep reading other food blogs that have the most gorgeous photos, and I’m actually a pretty good photographer so you’d think I’d follow suit with some edible art of my own. What ends up happening is that by the time I remember to get my camera off my desk, I’ve already written most of [...]
