Finds of the Week:

  • Breast Pumps in Jail: Kudos to Taos!, Sustainable Mothering — A County jail in New Mexico is providing accommodations for a breastfeeding mother to pump her breasts every few hours and have the product picked up by a family member for her four month old daughter.  Awesome!  (There’s a video from a news report here too.)
  • Getting stuffed: a tale of love and taxidermy, The Guardian — An excerpt from David Sedaris’ new book about buying a stuffed owl for his partner.
  • The History of Mister Rogers’ Powerful Message, Slate — In case you missed this link in my Boston piece
  • How not to say the wrong thing, LA Times — “It works in all kinds of crises – medical, legal, even existential. It’s the ‘Ring Theory’ of kvetching. The first rule is comfort in, dump out.”
  • How to Raise Kids Who Love Winter: Sixteen Tips, Literary Mama — seems relevant and useful since we have more snow forecast through this whole weekend…
  • Instagram’s Envy Effect, Relevant Magazine — Why social media can cause us dissatisfaction in our own life and what we can do about it.
  • Pollan Cooks!, NY Times — Mark Bittman’s discussion about Michael Pollan’s latest book and why we should return to cooking our own meals.
  • The Power of Talking to Your Baby, NY Times — Why talking to our babies is incredibly important to their development.

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.
