Saturday Surfing

Finds of the week:

  • 37 or so ingredients, Dwight Eschliman – a photography project of all of the ingredients in a twinkie.  The photographer says, “It’s the product of a kid that was raised to be suspicious of foods that weren’t assmbled in mom’s kitchen, and bordering on obsessive compulsive. The Twinkie is made up of 37 or so ingredients and this is what they look like.”
  • Birth: U.S. home births increase 20% from 2004 to 2008, Booster Shots Health Blog, Los Angeles Times
  • Children’s earliest memories shift as they get older, study finds, Los Angeles Times and a follow-up, Why the First Years are So Important, Even Though Our Kids Remember Nothing on babble
  • ‘Go The [Expletive] To Sleep’: A Salvo For Tired Parents, NPR – news story about a book, based on something we’ve all experienced: “It’s 10 at night, you’ve read Good Night Moon six times, and rocked your dear child for two hours. And, still, when you dare to look down at their angelic face, their eyes are still open.”  Yes, I’m here to say even attachment parent can get frustrated at nighttime (does “toddler bed” ring a bell?) and this book is hilarious.
  • Helping Kids Beat Depression… by Treating Mom, Wall Street Journal – Treating moms for depression has a significant impact on the mental health of their children, according to a new study. Kelsey Hubbard talks with WSJ’s Melinda Beck about the findings showing children get better along with their mother’s successful treatment of the disease.
  • Parents keep child’s gender secret, Parentcentral.ca – Couple raises their two boys to be gender neutral and chose for their newborn to remain genderless until (s)he decides to disclose gender for him/herself.  Interesting food for thought, but I’m not sure that I agree even a tiny bit.
  • Why is America the ‘no-vacation nation’?, CNN – Short answer? Capitalism and the Corporation.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

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.
