Saturday Surfing

It’s back!  Hurray!

Awesome/interesting finds of the week:

  • 7 tons of ground beef recalled due to possible E. coli, CNN – Gag. Another example of why a global food system doesn’t work. Eat local…yes, you can find local meat.  Go to Eat Wild and search for a farm near you.
  • A Pirate Life on MADE – This is the kind of mom I want to be.
  • ‘Ga-Ga’ for Daddy’s Data, Wall Street Journal – To better understand how caregivers’ speech affects babies’ ability to learn language a professor at M.I.T. wired his house with 11 cameras and 14 microphones to record much of his son’s first few years of life.  He captured some 90,000 hours of video and 140,000 hours of audio (transcribing some 700,000 million words).  Really interesting…but can you imagine having to get something out of all that data?
  • Like Daughter, Like Father, Columbia Business School Study – When male CEOs have daughters, relative pay for women at their firms goes up, narrowing the persistent gender wage gap.
  • Will Your Husband Change Diapers? Maybe Not on India RealTime (A WSJ Blog) – Summary of a survey of men and women in six developing nations–Brazil, Croatia, Chile, India, Mexico and Rwanda–titled the “International Men and Gender Equality Survey”. Coordinated by the Washington, D.C.-based International Center for Research on Women and Brazil’s Instituto Promundo, which asked a total of around 8,000 men and 3,500 women in the age groups of 18-59 in the six countries questions about their attitudes on health, relationships, parenting, sexual behavior and violence.  Some of the answers are downright scary, like those about violence against women.

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.

Yesterday we got our first taste of summer. It was warm enough that we got out the sprinkler in the afternoon. I worked most of the day but had a nice break for a couple hours in the afternoon during which I sat outside listening  to music and watching the 4 of them dance in the yard. I couldn't ask for much more on a Monday.
