Finds of the Past Few Weeks:

  • 22 Candid Photos That Show How Beautiful Breastfeeding Really Is, Huffington Post — I know everyone has probably seen this already, but I love it
  • The American Dream Does Not Cost $130,000/year, Becoming Minimalist — “The notion that a family of four must own a $275K home, drive an SUV, spend $5K on summer vacation, and eat $315 worth of food every week is foolishness. The presumption that security and fulfillment and happiness can only be found in the ownership of these luxuries is a shameful misrepresentation of our heart’s greatest desires.”
  • How a Young Couple Transformed an Empty Suburban Lot Into a Fantastical Food Oasis, Take Part  — Inspirational.  I think next year we need to grow more of our own food.
  • Intelligent People All Have One Thing In Common: They Stay Up Later Than You, Elite Daily — This is what I am going to keep telling myself at 3 a.m.
  • Preserving the Harvest: canning recipe round-up, Clean — I haven’t done any canning yet this year, but this round up looks great for when I manage to get down to business.
  • Safety of Vaccines Used for Routine Immunization of US Children: A Systematic Review, Pediatrics — Important read for all parents!  We just started vaccinating Nora (probably I ought to write an updated post on this) and are taking them slowly one at a time.  There is evidence that some vaccines are associated with serious adverse effects; whether you choose to vaccinate on schedule or not, this is important information of which to be aware.
  • Teaching 4-Year-Olds To Feel Better, NPR — “You’re 4 years old, building a block tower. Another kid runs up and knocks it down. What do you do? A) Tell her that’s against the rules. B) Go tell a teacher. C) Hit her. D) Start to cry. E) What did you say again?”
  • Throwback Thursday, NY Times — An Op-Ed that will make you giggle.
  • Yoga in India vs. Yoga in America, Seattle Yoga News — An interesting look at the differences in practice in India and here, written by an Indian.

Just a couple of pins:

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.
