Saturday Surfing

Finds of the week:

  • Beyonce Breastfed…for 10 weeks, Blacktating — I couldn’t have said it better.
  • Beyond Good And Apathy: What Does It Mean To Do Good In The Age Of The Internet?, Her Bad Mother — A look at the motivation for doing good through the lens of blogging and self-interest (I.e. donating $ for every comment, etc.).  Very thought provoking.
  • Breastfeeding in Jordan, InCulture Parent — Not as restrictive as one might think.
  • The Meat You Eat, NY Times — A summary of the responses to their contest on the ethics of eating meat, plus links to the winning essay and finalists.
  • A Need For Speed: Inside Jamaica’s Sprint Factory, NPR — Chris is always going on and on about the Jamaican food the line cooks make…now I know why it’s so awesome.
  • Raising a Hijab-Wearing Daughter in a World that Doesn’t Understand, InCulture Parent  — This is great
  • Teenage Magazines and Airbrushed, Unattainable Beauty, Motherlode — 14 y/o Julie Bluhm is sick of airbrushed girls in magazines. She’s calling on Seventeen Magazine to include real girls.

I also wanted to share a link to the journal Robin’s family set up to keep everyone updated on her recovery. Many of you have asked for an update. She was moved last week to a rehabilitation center and is moving down the long road to recovery. I know that all the positive vibes and thoughts and prayers have been a major part of the progress she has made already.

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.
