Saturday Surfing

saturday surfing2

We spent the last couple days up in the mountains skiing, so this post is a day late, but since I did bookmark things this week, I thought I’d post it anyway.  So here were my interesting finds of the week:

  • Advice For Eating Well On A Tight Budget, From A Mom Who’s Been There, NPR — Profile of a woman teaching low-income families how to choose and cook healthy produce.  It reminded me of my experience doing  the SNAP challenge.
  • Call Your Dad: Living Together Before Marriage Does Not Lead to Divorce, Slate — New research from the University of North Carolina–Greensboro, revealing the real factor that raises the risk of divorce:  it’s not premarital cohabitation that predicts divorce. It’s age.  Both good and bad news, I suppose…
  • Gray Matters: Too Much Screen Time Damages the Brain, Psychology Today — Another research-based article about the impact of screen time on children.
  • Inheriting Stress, NY Times — New research suggests that children can inherit stress that their parents experienced even before they were conceived.
  • A Mighty Girl — I just found this website and I love it!  There’s all sorts of things for “smart, confident, and courageous girls” — as a mama to girls, I love the things that they are sharing in their blog.
  • You’re Drinking the Wrong Kind of Milk, Mother Jones — Very interesting look at different kinds of milk based on the type of cow it came from.

Pins of the week:

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.
