Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week:

  • Eliza, Our Only Only Child, My Angle of Repose — a cute description of her daughter’s imaginary friend.
  • The infamous Chipotle video: will it help get rid of gestation crates?, Food Politics  — If you haven’t seen Chipotle’s video, you have to go watch it.  “Willis claims that his relatively free-range sows (confined in fields by electric fences) are nearly as productive.  His animals get to roll in the mud.  They do not fight and do not kill their piglets.  Yes, their meat ends up on the plate no matter how the animals are raised.  But means matter as much as ends.”
  • Please Keep Your Birthday Cupcake Out of My Kids’ Classroom, Huffington Post – Bettina Elias Siegel of The Lunch Tray talks about why kids don’t need sugary “treats” in the classroom.  I’d add that part of the problem isn’t that they’re sugary, but also that most parents probably bring treats filled to the brim with preservatives, artificial colors and ingredients.
  • Proposed Bisphenol A ban in food packaging would impact U.S. exports to France, USDA Report — France is on the brink of banning BPA in all food packaging; the USDA is worried about the financial implications…too bad they can’t be more worried about our health.
  • Top five regrets of the dying, The Guardian — Good food for thought…
  • What Might Have Been, NY Times — A woman’s account of learning more about her birth mother.
  • Why I Tell My Girls They’re Beautiful. Often., Motherhood Your Way — I couldn’t agree with this post more.  Part of raising healthy girls with positive views of their bodies is telling they’re beautiful and pretty and the like, in addition to commenting on their other attributes; doing so does not mean they will turn out to be shallow or unintelligent.

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.
