From Organic to Homemade and more…

by gidget writing & blogging

I’m so excited to announce that Simple Organic is now Simple Homemade! The new branding is such a good fit for me as editor and although we won’t be veering away from green/natural living at all, we’ll be adding more of the DIY/crafty/homemade stuff that I love. I spoke about this a bit in the [...]

Around Town…

by gidget fun

While I’ve been away from this space, I’ve been elsewhere a bit… I recorded a podcast with Tsh from Simple Mom which was really fun. You can get the details and listen over on Home Fries. This was a bit surreal when I thought about how three years ago when I started blogging I never [...]

I miss blogging…

…but man, life is crazy. I have some thoughts and post ideas I’ve jotted down in my notebook and hope to get them into some drafts soon. In the meantime, I’m back to work at Simple Organic and very active on Instagram, so find me there if you’re an iPhone user.

Randomness.

by gidget gratitude

My blog thoughts have been bouncing around in my brain lately, but I’ve been having a hard time finding a chance to actually sit down and write (other than what I’ve been working on for Simple Organic). So, first, a few bloggy things. I started a little place to share some little bits of inspiration [...]

Booking It in 2011

by gidget reading

I love to read. That’s not really a secret for anyone who knows me. I don’t need a lot of motivation or inspriation to have a reason to pick up a book {or five}. But I still love the idea of a book club! This year, I’m teaming up with my fellow So Cal mama, [...]

Tying up Loose Ends

by gidget life is beautiful

I feel like I was a bad blogger at the end of 2010. I know, I know, it’s basically all just for fun, but I don’t like promising things and then not following through. I still have things in drafts or emails that I wanted to post but never got around to– recipes, interviews, ideas, [...]

gratitude… thanksgiving and big news edition

by gidget gratitude

I had good reason for neglecting this blog last week… our annual Thanksgiving camping trip! We spent the whole week with family and friends, at the beautiful San Elijo State Beach. It was a wonderful vacation, despite the California-version-of-cold (too cold for me!) and being only about 10 minutes from home. We spent yesterday recovering [...]

Great Recipe over at Simple Organic

by gidget food

I’m feel like maybe I’m starting to get back into a blogging groove; we’ll see! {Altough I meant to publish this 2 days ago, and forgot, so maybe not…} For now though, I’m over at Simple Organic this week, talking about one of the most challenging ingredients to modify/substitute in recipes: condensed (“cream of…”) soup!
