365: Day 116- Solitude

4/26/13: The weather forecast looked great and Derek had a couple of appointments today so I wanted to do something fun outside with S&Z. Sun, nature and quiet sounded really great after the craziness of the last 2 weeks, and the only place that I know of to get that around here is Hale Reservation. We hiked into the woods (meaning I strolled and the kids picked up rocks).

 

Noanet Pond is my favorite spot.


We literally saw 3 people and 2 dogs the entire time we were there.


I relaxed while the kids gathered rocks to throw into the pond.


Over and over and over.


This kept them busy for a long time!!


Then it was time for lunch. We couldn't have found a better picnic spot.


It was also Arbor Day today - what a perfect place to commune with some trees :)


What a beautiful day with my babies. I can think of no better therapy for a heavy heart.

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
