Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week:

  • Cardboard Playhouse, Eclectic Mom — I knew I was saving all those cardboard boxes for a reason!
  • Eating Animals, The Atlantic – a great, balanced article about the ethics of eating meat.
  • FDA Backs Off Withdrawing Certain Antibiotics from Livestock Use, Food Safety News — Obama administration caves on regulating antibiotics in livestock.  Have we already forgotten about the antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the turkeys????  Boo.
  • The Most Real Things In The World, And Also Santa Claus, Her Bad Mother — This presents an interesting argument for why we should tell our children Santa exists, touching upon Plato’s concept of the “noble lie.”  Not only is it a good read, but it reminded me of how much I need to be using my philosophy degree in my life/parenting/writing.
  • Organic Agriculture May Be Outgrowing Its Ideals, NY Times — Good NYT piece on the globalization of organic. How green is it now?  When making your New Year’s resolutions this year, resolve to join a CSA!
  • What’s with the problems with powdered infant formula?, Food Politics — Marion talks about the latest scare regarding bacteria in powdered formula and why powdered formula is problematic.  Her bottom line: if you aren’t breastfeeding, liquid formula is the safest option.

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.
