I know we are a little more than a week into the new year but it has taken me a full week to get back into the normal routine of things (I can't be the only one who's in the post-holiday struggle for normality). As I look back on almost a full year with this…

Apple Fest
Last Saturday Luke and I drove up to Ithaca for their annual Apple Fest ! As you may know from past posts (cinnamon oatmeal apple muffins) I love apples, really I do. I know that it is typical to think of pumpkins come autumn, but first in my mind is apple season. Growing up my family…

The Rehearsal
