August 2009

Today is the last day of August! You know what that means…Autumn is coming. I just can’t tell you how tickled I am about Autumn. It’s the beginning of a very busy season. One that goes from September to the first week in January. This week I start tucking away all the sea blue and [...]

Lessening the Noise

by Robin on August 28, 2009

I’m listening to this song by Jacks  Mannequin a lot lately. Before I let you listen,  I want to tell you about the song’s impact on one of my most important relationships… My daughter Emma, the baby, the proverbial exclamation mark on our family story, well she’s going through a tough time. It’s been on [...]

Something new and amazing… like a new head.  I plopped in the chair and Chris (my stylist and the owner of the salon…he lets me call him Chris )started as he always does…”lets talk about you hair..” “Well, here’s [...]

Walking and Talking…

by Robin on August 26, 2009

The Husband and I are ‘empty-nesters’.  Some of you don’t know, but the man married me with 3 little ones under 5!  A little less than 12 months later, like magic or something, poof! Another little one came along! Point being, from the moment we were joined in holy matrimony we had almost no down-time. [...]

Julie & Julia~What’s your passion?

by Robin on August 24, 2009

I saw the movie on Saturday…LOVED IT!  As some of you know I love to cook. Baking especially, but that’s not the reason I loved the movie so much.  I loved that both women found a passion, looked closely at that passion and went with it…I couldn’t help digging through my own love of cooking [...]

Keep Moving Woman…

by Robin on August 20, 2009

If you’ve been hanging out with me here for very long you know that I hear God in all kinds of odd ways….secular music and Reba, my cat to name a couple. But this morning when I was on my run I thought I heard Him again and wanted to share this with you… My [...]

Healthy Pasta Primavera

by Robin on August 18, 2009

As some of my Peeps know, I’m trying to eat healthier after baking on a few…or ten pounds! Today, I bring you something that won’t add to your rear-end. Unless you follow it with 3 microwave S’Mores…which I wanted to do. But did not. I swear.  I ordered this from room-service  one time when I [...]
