We’re building a house!

Posted on November 22, 2012 by castironidaho • 2 Comments

The smell of sawdust gives me a buzz, not unlike, one too many beers.  Cutting wood lets me relax and concentrate on the task in front of me, all other thoughts fall away like a useless scrap.  And at the end of a long day spent creating things with wood there is little else as … Continue reading →

Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat

Posted on November 12, 2012 by castironidaho • 2 Comments

So, here’s what Rio was for Halloween.  We inherited the monkey costume from his cousin. Found some Yellow Hats online for the Man and the Woman with the Yellow Hats, and dyed a pair of thrift store khakis yellow for Marty.  Halloween is such a blast again when you’re a mom.  There was a lot … Continue reading →

How to Can Tomatoes, with Global Gardens

Posted on October 3, 2012 by castironidaho • 3 Comments

Well, the frost is coming, probably tonight!  Here at Cast Iron Idaho, we have to admit that we’re always a little joyful when the first frost comes to help us put the garden to bed.  It means the end of summer’s bounty, but also the beginning of a few slower months after a busy season, … Continue reading →

Birth Art, Part III…..Ring Slings!

Posted on September 4, 2012 by castironidaho • 4 Comments

I do want to finish the “Birth Art” series, though maybe now it should be labeled “Baby Art.”  Rio got so many cool creative gifts, and there’s so many fun things you can make to welcome a new little one.  I made this baby ring sling myself, and you can make one for the fraction … Continue reading →

Perfect Low-Sugar Blackberry Jam

Posted on August 24, 2012 by castironidaho • 3 Comments

Behold, dear readers, my first canning as a mom.  I’m super proud.  As you may have noticed, doing everything one-handed or during Rio’s naptimes has set me back a bit, and getting things done for my job and laundering diapers have been taking priority over blogging or interesting cooking. Anyway, we recently came into a … Continue reading →

Birth Art, Part II….Mother’s Day Photos!

Posted on May 13, 2012 by castironidaho • 1 Comment

Happy Mother’s Day, everybody!  It’s my first one.  I thought you might enjoy these photos that we did just before and just after Rio was born.  I could have done a little better job making sure the lighting was the same for both sets, switching to black and white helped a little, but oh well, … Continue reading →

City Gardens’ CSA members got pea tops in their share this week.  We took ours to Lulu’s Pizza and had Owen make us a pizza.  You can, of course, make yourself a pea-top pizza at home.  Make your whole pizza with whatever other toppings you want to use.  Toss your pea tops in water, or … Continue reading →

Birth Art, Part I….Custom Onesies!

Posted on April 20, 2012 by castironidaho • 2 Comments

So what with spending hours a day gazing in wonder at my new boy, not to mention feeding and changing him, I’m a little behind on blogging.  I wanted to share a little of what we were up to in the weeks that we awaited Rio’s birth.  My friends Elysia and Emily threw me a … Continue reading →
