I apologize for the lack of posts lately. Also for the lack of baking. We've all felt, well, a bit run-over by our lives lately. Too much to do. Kids that move too fast. No downtime.
A few weeks back I wanted to post a typical day. And then I wanted to cry. After I'd taken a good long look at how my days are structured, posting about it was just about the last thing I wanted to do.
We hired a nanny for the summer, which seems to be helping. This will tide us over until we get the girls into the same Montessori in August.
Also, my dinner coop has taken up a lot of my culinary creativity the last few months. It's a feat, many weeks, to get a meal made for four families. But when it works, it's divine. And we eat so well the other days of the week.
I'm banking on a not-so-distant future that doesn't feel so overwhelmingly busy. Perhaps I shouldn't bank on that. But for my own sanity, I need it to happen come hell or high water.
One other note: I've also been thinking a lot about blogging. On the one hand, I like it. On the other, I'm not so sure. Everything is so out there. I don't feel like I can be thoughtful enough in my dashed off blogs for any kind of posterity, and I guess sometimes it starts to feel mundane. Plus, I see people blogging about everything under the sun and it starts to feel, I don't know, overwhelming in a different way. Also, I do think some days about what I'm putting out there for my kids. How are they, with no say in the matter at all, represented on my public blog? Sometimes I want to slant this to be lighter on the personal members and more on the experience of us baking. It feels all a muddle in the meantime.
So, these are my philosophical conundrums. I keep writing away in fits and starts on little private projects not on the web and we'll see where those go.
I do, though, have a cookie recipe I want to try. And soon. So, stay tuned and hang in there; I appreciate it.
