30 Days of Thanks: Work Completed

I'm one week into my great business experiment (the one where I offered a web design package and set out to build one site per week) and so far all is looking good.  I finished the first website perfectly on time and am very pleased with i[...]

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[...]

Report Card

I need to manage my time better.  I just spent 20 minutes deciding on/editing/uploading on a new cover photo for my Facebook timeline.  The dishes are done, the bathroom is clean, and the floors were swept yesterday, but mopping just[...]

First Week

I came back from Texas with a cold (caught on the way there, presumably), and though I feel much better now, I feel like we are running a few days behind.  I was good the first day back about pushing through, and managed to get the downsta[...]

All I Want to Do

There are a million things going on this week, and all I want to do is find a comfy place to plop down... Sorry Saturday Surfing didn't happen, or Sunday...or even today.  Things might be a little quiet around here this week as I try to fini[...]

Hiring Help

In the world of parenting blogs, there has been much discussion lately of how we "do it all": cooking healthy and homemade meals, maintaining an immaculate house, and raising perfect and adorable children, all while finding time to blog about it[...]

I’ll Never Be a Professional Blogger

Last week in the New York Magazine, there was an article about the Queens of Mommy Bloggers.  As I read through the article, couldn't help but think that I will never be a professional blogger.  These women make hundreds of thousands (maybe ev[...]

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.
