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[...]

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[...]

Report Card

I know I haven't been around much lately.  Darn those New Year's resolutions...it's only February and already I'm falling off the wagon. I've been lost in the fog of web design, if you will.  I'm at a variety of stages on a few differe[...]

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[...]

Report Card + 30 Days of Thanks

I have a new Sunday routine, starting with going to bed early Saturday night (around 10:00) and then getting up early Sunday to go to yoga.  This morning, I hauled my bike out of the basement since we're experimenting with not using the car, an[...]

30 Days of Thanks, Report Card

I haven't run the gauntlet recently because, as I've mentioned, I haven't really been meeting all my goals lately.  I've been buying fancy produce, eggs, dairy, and cheese at the grocery store like there's no tomorrow.  I skipped out on yoga[...]

30 Days of Thanks: Report Card

How is Thanksgiving the week after next? How are we already 13 days into November and this little project of thankfulness? I was just talking today with my friend Laura about how fast the fall has zoomed by. But, I guess, time flies when you're[...]

30 Days of Thanks: Report Card

Happy Sunday! I'm pleased as punch to be writing this report card because I feel like I've been so spot on lately.  The house is in a state of cleanliness I feel good about more often than not.  Through I didn't go the last two weeks because o[...]

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. 😂
