Finds of the Week:
- Apple and Pomegranate Brussels Sprout Salad, Joy the Baker — This looks delicious, healthy, and easy. Yum.
- Free superhero reward chart printable!, Small for Big — We discovered a month or so ago how effective sticker were as a potty training reward for Nora — she finally asks to go! Though I made my own chart at first, I might just have to print out one of these; they’re super cute!
- The latest fish story: this time it’s Boston-area restaurants, Food Politics — Are you sure the fish on your plate is really the fish on the menu? Why I only eat fish at The Brotherhood or The SeaGrille.
- Making a Busy Book, Mouse House — definitely something for my crafty to-do list. This is cute!
- Panera’s Macaroni & Cheese, Janae Monir — Here’s something else to be thankful about: “Needing” to make sure my kid gets lots of extra calories is the perfect excuse for decadent macaroni & cheese. As if I needed an excuse.
- A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs, NY Times — Just incredible on so many levels: what a wonderful man he seemed like, what beautiful writing it is, and how very, very much he was loved.

And what am I thankful about today?
1. That Chris was smart enough to block the vent in our bedroom, which doesn’t close, with a piece of cardboard; that means the upstairs of the house no longer feels like the tropics. Last night was the first cool night I didn’t wake up sweating and uncomfortable and cursing the fact that I can’t turn the heat down any further because Nora’s room is downstairs where it’s a normal 62F. It only took us a year of living here to figure that solution out, but it’s wonderful!
2. That my landlords came today, which prompted us to clean,clean, clean the house this morning and now I have the whole day ahead of me.
3. That Nora is actually napping (first time since Wednesday) so I can write this post!
