Asher the Grocery Mule

By
We are super fortunate to live a half mile (0.8km) from a neighborhood grocery store*. Usually, I bike there (with panniers and bike trailer) but on grocery shopping days when Jon has time and I haven't yet walked Asher, the three of us will walk.

Yesterday, anticipating a large load, we put Asher's backpack on him so he could help us out.


It worked out great! He didn't mind at all and we were able to get all of our groceries home without any additional gear (i.e. a personal grocery cart).

Thanks, Asher!

* We actually split our grocery shopping between Beavers (the neighborhood grocery store) and the Fort Collins Food Co-op. The Co-op is awesome for bulk food and household items like spices, flour, shampoo and laundry detergent but Beavers is cheaper for other items like veggies, meat and canned goods. Fortunately, I pass right by Beavers on my bike route home from the Co-op so it's quite easy to do both spots in one trip.

The garden is in!  If our Scarechicken does its job, we will soon have a nice crop of heirloom tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, green beans, basil, parsley and thyme! Huge thanks to my parents for their help getting the area ready. It was a jungle!

I spy...

By
I was looking for directions on Google Maps today when I realized that Google had just added "birds-eye" views for Fort Collins. So, of course, I went to see what our home looks like. Much to my surprise, I found that Google just happened to catch us on the morning of March 29, 2012. Our moving day! So, you better think twice before deciding to run around naked in your back yard. You never know when the aerial photography plane is going to fly by!

Beauty Anxiety

By
I am spending quite a bit of time thinking and planning what I am going to put in my travel backpack. There isn't going to be a lot of room so I am taking a tip from Ottsworld and planning to leave my vanity behind . I have to admit, the idea of leaving my makeup behind makes me uncomfortable. Not because I want to wear makeup everyday but because it's a security blanket. It provides the ability to fit in if I need to and to escape the feeling that I am not participating in the unwritten rules of being a woman. Don't believe me that there is a beauty standard in this country? Check this out: Video link here . More information about Girl Culture by Lauren Greenfield here . Please note that parts of this site are NSFW. But on the flip side, I'll be saving money. I found an article in Newsweek that estimated the lifetime cost of "cosmetic maintenance" . Even if I normally spend a half to a third of this amount, that's still quite a bit quite a bit of money.
