Normally, this is something I would post on my own site, but it is having some server issues. Enjoy.
Ries was wondering yesterday, just what kind of beer President Obama would serve his distinguished guests. “Does he have good taste in beer?” we wondered.

What with all the comings and goings of the Smith household, the weekly recipes went by the wayside for awhile. Sorry about that. Please do not flog me.
It is that time of year again. The time of year in Houston when the heat melts your face as you walk outside. The kind of heat that [...]

Yesterday, I gave Gideon some crayons and some paper to see what he would do. They were a huge hit.
Today, he plopped himself down at his table and beat the top until I gave him the crayons and paper. So bossy! He must get that from his dad.

It seems like we only come home to do laundry and pack up again.
Thursday, we are headed to Chicago and my first conference since I was 7 months pregnant. I am excited to see everyone and be in my element again. It will be nice to be with people who know Michelle the Librarian. I [...]

Perhaps I am becoming too laid back with this, my first child. I give you two examples.
Example #1
