Film Friday: “Yoga” With Two

We made a movie!  A simple one, but hey, something good enough to share for Film Friday, and that is pretty darn exciting. I enjoyed watching all of our old videos last week after we filmed Nora's birthday interview and so I decided I might[...]

Getting Stuff Done

It's two am and I really should be sleeping, but I'm having one of those nights when I can't stop myself from trying to catch up, at least a little, on my emails, website work, blogging, and a million other things.   One of the big downside[...]

Revisiting Resolutions

Do you still think about your New Years Resolutions?  (Did you make them in the first place?)  I've been thinking a lot about my resolutions lately and how I've been doing (or not) on them.  You may remember these were my goals fo[...]

Not June Cleaver

I love sitting in a clean house.  I love knowing that every room is picked up, the floors are fur free (at least until someone pets the dog -- NO ONE PET THE DOG!!), and there isn't a single dish festering in the sink; knowing that I can s[...]

Will Power…Or Not

For St. Patrick's Day/my birthday, I made car bomb cupcakes, then headed off to my monthly potluck group to share them with friends. Guinness, whiskey, baileys, and chocolate, what's not to love?  (P.S., that's St. Patty's green avocado fr[...]

Report Card

I know that come summer, when the sun stays up until 8:00, I'll be really glad for "spring forward" and how much easier it makes bedtime, but on days like this (during weeks like this), when I have multiple websites to work on, clients to meet w[...]

Dalai Lama

Chris found this Dalai Lama quote on Reddit and I thought it was worth sharing between working on websites. And also, there's this: We are following through with trying to sell our car, as per our New Year's resolution to simplify and[...]

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
