Raise your hand if you have childhood memories of begging your parents for change so you could buy a rubber bouncy ball from the quarter machine (me!!)?

The biggest news of the weekend? Chris finished his Seattle Marathon in 3:25, almost a full hour faster than his time last year (blog post from last year here).

We're not sure where we are in the standings (there's no easy way to find out) but last time I went through every single entry one-by-one, we were in the top 5. We'd love to create a Soap … Continue Reading

We have a few Brambleberrians that are practicing a Paleo lifestyle. If you haven't ever heard of Paleo, it's a style of eating that involves only consuming things that (in theory) you can catch, pick, pluck or harvest without any processing that a caveman couldn't have done. That means no sugars … Continue Reading
BrambleBaby #2 is contentedly hanging out in my belly, being quite well behaved if I may say it (knock on wood). I'm currently growing a tiny human size of a large shrimp this week or lemon (week 14), and heading into more rapid growth in the coming weeks. Soon enough we'll be able to tell if … Continue Reading
