When Sophia and I returned from NYC, we got back to our routines with a few special events thrown in for excitement. On December 13, we went to see one of our favorite bands: WILCO at the Riviera in Chicago. Here's a late night picture of Chief Rail and I...

Hello again! I'm going to back track a little and post some pics from December. The highlight being a trip to NYC. Again with the NYC, I know, its like a love affair I am having with that city. Every chance I can, I try to find an excuse to...

I have been absent on this blog. Sorry! things are busy around here and I am finding it hard to write- although my intention is to keep up with the practice because it has been so rewarding. The latest news is that I am starting a part time job! I...

One day this fall, just south of the Wisconsin border we turned into a tidy U-pick apple orchard that was impeccably manicured. The kids tumbled from the car, happy to be free after an hour and a half drive. They ran around on the grass and on wood-chipped pathways that...

A very pleasant lunch was spent recently with friends eating royal pie at Pleasant House Bakery . If you are in Chicago, I highly recommend a trip there. It's a very casual place, but sunlight brightens the small dining room and on the day we went, the counter staff were...

The reason I started Projectland blog was to chart the progress of all the various creative projects that get started and then remain half done around the house. The intention was I admit selfish: to hold me accountable for finishing what I start. It has turned into more of a...

I bought an ebleskiver pan this summer, made these scrumptious Danish filled pancakes and was hooked. We all were! We tried chocolate sauce, strawberry jam, and apricot jam fillings. Adults thought apricot was the best, kids said, "chocolate!". While researching batters and the ebleskiver pan itself, I discovered that there...
