Saturday
It has been a busy day, and I’m posting via iPhone from my bed as the boys are soaking in the tub just five steps from me. This morning we straightened the house and made muffins for a group of gals coming over to chat about PPD. Joe took the boys out for bagels, and then we spent the rest…

I planted some leafy whole potatoes sometime around Labor Day, and having never grown…
