Nina: January 2015

http://iwantnina.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 11, 2015. Me, probably on my first day of kindergarten, photo by my mother. Will she remember how much she loves my chili? Will she think of all the times she told me I'm the best mommy in the world? Or will she remember my tired, stressed out, overworked self, easily annoyed and nowhere near as patient and nurturing as I would like to be? My mother's coffee mug and turquoise ring, which I wear every day. photo by Dora. Did she weep with love for me? Where am I now? Other Blogs I Love.

Nina: December 2014

http://iwantnina.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, December 30, 2014. So, I was offered a complimentary class at West Asheville Yoga, and I took it. Though I have fond memories of pre-natal yoga, there are definitely some things about yoga that I just don't like. I'm not a fan of bare feet, mine or anyone else's. It's just too much information. And some poses are just plain uncomfortable. Downward Facing Dog? Full-time. I've got some other work lined up too - a bit of consulting perhaps, and some studio management for Brian. And for Orange Krush.

Nina: What I've learned so far

http://iwantnina.blogspot.com/2015/03/what-ive-learned-so-far.html

Wednesday, March 25, 2015. What I've learned so far. And recently I’ve witnessed - from very afar and without even truly knowing the people involved - another young mother die of cancer. March 25, 2015 at 10:18 PM. I want to post a comment here, but I dont think you left anything to be said. I love you, Carrie. 3 You are, in so many ways, a true inspiration. March 26, 2015 at 12:12 AM. So much truth here, Carrie. I love your words. They always speak to me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nina: August 2013

http://iwantnina.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 4, 2013. Light of my life. Is helpfully offered to you by every grocery store clerk, elderly man in church, and austere businesswoman on the street. Anyone whose child is at least a week older than yours will offer this advice. I knew that then, but not really. I didn't really understand it, didn't really know what it meant, until August 4, 2007. That day, my heart broke open, and the light of my life arrived. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Light of my life.

Nina: April 2015

Thursday, April 2, 2015. Please, let me remember. Breakfast is “bressie”. Watermelon is “memo”. Lighting McQueen (and all cars) used to be “Aye-Rum-Rums” and then he was “Lightning Taqueen”. Oscar snuggles up to me and says “I want to be “ta-next” to you”. I was gone all day yesterday and when I arrived home Oscar greeted me excitedly. “How was your trip, mommy!

Nina: the launch of 20 Locally Grown Weeks: our CSA experience

http://iwantnina.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-launch-of-20-weeks-our-csa.html

Monday, May 26, 2014. The launch of 20 Locally Grown Weeks: our CSA experience. When Dora was a baby, I had a conversation with a colleague whose child is close to Dora's age. He was boastfully telling me how she had never seen Elmo. "She has no idea who Elmo is! This was because, apparently, he and his wife were the only parents in the history of the world to uphold their pre-baby, "our kids will not watch TV" plans. To do well most of the time. I hope to share something that you enjoy. My life in cake.

Saturday, June 7, 2014. 20 Locally Grown Weeks, Week 2: Garlic Scape Pesto. I had been hearing that you can make pesto from garlic scapes for a long time, but this is the first time I tried it. WHY did I wait so long? It was delicious and the kids really enjoyed it. Dora often complains that true basil pesto is too spicy (from the raw garlic), but garlic scape pesto is milder, and stays green! Garlic Scape Pesto (adapted from Food52. In a mini-food processor combine:. 1 bunch garlic scapes, sliced. Subbi...

Nina: April 2013

Friday, April 5, 2013. I wonder: do all parents of small children feel like their lives are out of control? Or is it just me? Or is it that we just had a really hard week, and today we had a hard day, and tonight I'm exhausted, the house is a mess, my worries are swirling around my head like bees, and I can't make bedtime happen fast enough? I mean - I have to work on my taxes, tonight, for God's sake, and that actually seems preferable to trying to bring this whirling dervish of a life under control.
