Saturday Surfing


Finds of the Week:

  • Baby Makes Four, and Complications, NY Times — Intriguing profile of a family made up of a single mother, her son, her best friend/the sperm donor and his partner.  It’s part of a series the times is running as a periodic look into how “nontraditional” families are becoming a norm.
  • BPA Exposure Worse Than Previously Estimated, Civil Eats —  “According to a new study, exposure to the gender-bending chemical Bisphenol-A (BPA) is worse than previously estimated. The study, which appeared Monday in Environmental Health Perspectives, is the first to recreate the chronic daily intake of BPA in humans, which leaches into our food–our primary channel for exposure–via its packaging. Researchers showed this by feeding a steady BPA-spiked diet to mice, whereas previous studies have only used a single exposure.  BPA has been linked to fertility problems, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, attention deficit disorder and cancer. Scientists at the University of Missouri, led by Cheryl Rosenfeld, found that a constant stream of BPA into the body could result in the chemical sticking around longer than expected.”  And Fooducate on the issue
  • For First Time, Majority of Americans Favor Legal Gay Marriage, Gallup
  • From White House to heartland, a call to give up subsidies, The Washington Post — I’m on this band wagon, too.  Subsidies are one of the major contributors to the many crop issues we have in America: specialization instead of diversity, GMOs, and pesticide intensive production.
  • Why Are Americans Getting Fatter? [Infographic], Healthy Meal Experts — This is a great infographic comparing our average weight in 1960-62 and 1990-92 with average fast food, fats, and sugar consumption.

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.
