Cow’s Milk And Our Family

When I was growing up, dinner always came accompanied with (what seemed like) a huge glass of white milk.  In my elementary school cafeteria, we had to drink our entire carton of milk (skim, 2%, or whole, no flavoring there) before be[...]

It's nearly Christmas, and I wanted to share the photos from our wonderful winter solstice celebration day before I need to report on Christmas. We work up earlier than usual, on Nora time, and came downstairs in our pajamas to discover our sto[...]

‘Tis the Season for Craftiness

One of the reasons I am much more in the holiday spirit this year is because it is an extra excuse for making crafts, and because of how much Nora enjoys those crafts.  We've made a few of the traditional art projects (tissue paper wreath brin[...]

A Little Friday Catch-up

This week has been lovely.  We've had a clean house, and several days of cancelled plans which meant plenty of time to laze about and just enjoy one another's company. We baked cookies(a nice change from my normally decadent baked goods -- hea[...]

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.

Yesterday we got our first taste of summer. It was warm enough that we got out the sprinkler in the afternoon. I worked most of the day but had a nice break for a couple hours in the afternoon during which I sat outside listening  to music and watching the 4 of them dance in the yard. I couldn't ask for much more on a Monday.

The best thing about having a king sized bed is having space for cuddle bugs.

Walking around the neighborhood with Z and I'm reliving my first experience with entrepreneurship: @girlscouts cookie sales. My mom was our troop leader (all the way through Juniors) and I remember our garage piled high with boxes and boxes of cookies. 

It's fun watching Z try her hand at sales. She is fearless and no problem describing every cookie to complete strangers. Despite having never done it before, she has an incredibly aggressive goal of selling 1500 boxes of cookies. If any kid can do it, though, I think she can.
