List #20: Good Things Friday February 2025
This month my good things Friday is overlapping with Elisabeth’s FIG Collective. I picked a little JOY(s) every day in February. And a couple of good reads: Do you lick the bowl/paddle/spoon when you bake? Is there a favourite recipe you haven’t made for a while?

List #19: US National Parks (AND Historical Parks) we Visited
In 2009, we took the kids on a road trip from San Francisco to Utah and Arizona and back to LA via San Diego. The kids were 10, 8 and 6 and visiting the National Parks was one of the highlights. I was so impressed with their Junior Ranger program, which allowed the kids to…

Time for another list. This list only includes the sports I’ve competed in, not those I’ve played in PE class at school or pottered around with socially. What sports have you competed in? What was/is your favourite sport to play?

List #15: All my NABLOPOMO Posts
So this is the last day of NaBloPoMo, hosted by San at the “in between is mine“. I made it, although my Feedly is next level. It has been wonderful getting to know some new bloggers this year, and I think I made it to everyone’s blog at least a few times a week. I…

List #14: Return to Running Program
Earlier this year, I got a stress fracture in my foot. It finally healed in July, but I put off a serious return to running until after I’d done the Camino—I did not want to jeopardise our holiday. I feel like the days of strenuous walking while we were away helped build more strength in…

List #13: Some More Things to Do If I Make It Back to Paris
I’ve now been to Paris twice, spending a full week both times. There are so many sites to see, but that must be balanced with time to stroll or sit and soak up the ambience. Not to mention making time to try all.the.food. Here’s my list of all the things that didn’t quite make the…

List #12: Soups on Regular rotation
This is another post about soup for Julie and Tobia’s Cool Bloggers Autumn Soup Challenge. When the kids were younger, we would have pumpkin and red lentil soup with toasted cheese sandwiches at least every one to two weeks. It was my easy go-to meal. No recipe … I would eyeball everything in lieu of actual measurements and…
