Saturday Surfing


Finds of the Week:

  • Apple Juice and Arsenic: It’s the Sugar, Dummy, Fooducate — I’m a big proponent of no juice, too.  We don’t buy it all all anymore.  Nora drinks water and occasionally whole milk or decaf herbal tea.  As a treat, we break out the juicer (usually to make carrot juice) or she’ll get a cup of tomato juice (when I’m using my canned tomatoes for something else).  Less sugar to worry about, less money out of our grocery budget, and (apparently) less arsenic and lead too.  Win, win, win.
  • The Best 10 Books of 2011, NY Times and Riveting Reads: The Best Fiction of 2011, Oprah  — for the quiet Nantucket winter?
  • The Family Tablecloth, She Wears Many Hats — I really neat idea for a custom embroidered tablecloth
  • Siri Doesn’t Know About Your Lady Stuff, Slate XX Factor — Siri fails to produce good results if you ask it for birth control or abortion services, yet has no problem finding you viagra.
  • Study Finds Turtle Embryos Communicate To Synchronize Hatching, NPR — I just though this was neat.
This week on Papoose:
  • Just One Bottle Won’t Hurt – Or Will It? —  research summary by Marsha Walker, a registered nurse and IBCLC in Massachusetts, about how one bottle of formula impacts a baby
  • Stroll 2011 Family-Friendly Events — This weekend’s events for families on-island
  • What is a CLC —  I describe the training/testing I had to earn my lactation counselor certification, plus the scope of practice.
  • Why Free Formula Hurts Mothers and Babies — My response to Rhode Island hospitals’ joint decision to end giving away formula samples as new mothers go home with their babies
And, Etsy Love, because it’s December that that makes me want snow:
1. Let it Snow – Holiday Letterpress Cards 2. Red Fox in the Snow – Quilt Fabric Art 3. Snowy New England Landscape Green Barn on 5 inch diameter black slate with leather holder  4. Snow White Felt Bird 5. Falling Snowflake Necklace  6. Snowflake Ornament 7. New England Winter-Scape No.88 8. Christmas Tree Painting 9. LET IT SNOW Glittered Burlap Banner

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.
