Finds of the Week

  • Baby on Board, Bicycling — a bicycle trip with a one year old.  “I marveled that this was the same day I thought the three of us were going to die of dehydration. I sunk my spoon into some blackberry sorbet, and thought about how pushing limits—no matter what the ­limits are, how wild or tame they might be—brings into sharp focus what it means to be alive.”
  • Busting breastfeeding m’larky, Our Milky Way — a look at breastfeeding myths: how they start and how to elminate them
  • How to bring peace to the witching hour, Simple Mom — three great tips for surviving the worst hours of the day with our kids
  • Looking Back to Look Ahead — Love Christina’s writing.  This post about doing work as part of a CSA share is engrossing.  I never had these feelings or experiences with our farmers.  They always seemed so accepting and excited that everyone was contributing to the farms.  Even with her crazy worries of judgement, this really made me miss CSAs and local food.  We’re starving for good produce out here.
  • Viva la nipples, Our Milky Way — A post from The Healthy Children’s Project about breastfeeding and sore nipples: “A nursing mother should not feel any sensation more painful than a gentle tug while her baby is at the breast. If she reports any pain on a gradient scale, something is up.”

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.
