Weirdo Days.

It is one. It’s been beautiful here lately. The warmest January I can remember. Donovan got a new bike for Christmas and has yet to ride it to school, so we thought today would be great to do so, it’s been so mild, almost hot during the day. He gets up at 7:30am, and leaves [...]

Opening Up Shop.

I have decided to start hocking my wares. Years ago, my mom and I began to try to get rid of the clutter that was plaguing our life after my Dad passed away. He was a collector. Of All Things. So it’s been pretty difficult to sort through everything and decide what was too sentimental [...]

How I Make Soups. Part Deux.

I know some of you reading this have no earthly desire to make your own broth and that’s fine. You just want the recipes for the good, easier stuff, using canned or preferably boxed all natural MSG-free organic broths.  If you are still intrigued by the beauty of doin’ it yourself, great! Today I’m

How I Make Soups. Part 1.

I’ve had a lot of women asking me for my “recipes” as of late, and instead of trying to directly respond via message to each individually, I thought I’d share my love in a more general scape. Here you go internet, all of my not-so-secret weapons in preparing a beautifully planned and executed, healt

Reaching for Those Last Few Moments

Every day I wake up I see evidence of my baby leaving and my young man evolving. And like most every other Mom I know, I despise it. I want him to keep those baby-soft sweet puffy cheeks forever. Those big brown puppy dog eyes of his are so sweet and innocent, I mourn the [...]

Fall 2010: We are a 2nd Grader, a PTA Mom and a Soccer Coach Dad.

I can’t lie, Facebook has taken over what little internet time I allow myself. It’s convenience of access via my phone has kept myself and everyone else “in the loop” of what goings on occur. What I do not like about this is that I am depriving myself of creative expression in one of my [...]

It’s His “Thing”.

My honey and I were never so proud last night… our son played his first soccer game. He had a blast. I realize I’m biased, but he stayed on the ball more than any kid I saw on either team. They have a ways to go, it was their first game and they’d only had [...]

Green.

I am solar-powered. As a shaper friend recently reminded me, we all are, but surely everyone is beyond tired of hearing me and everyone else complaining of the ridiculously consistent below average North Florida winter temps. But The Great Heating Lamp in The Sky is beginning to warm up and incubate

Everything In Place.

Books to the ceiling, Books to the sky, My pile of books is a mile high. How I love them! How I need them! I’ll have a long beard by the time I read them. -Arnold Lobel This winter has been très productive for me in the reading department. I have voraciously ingested more literature [...]

It Was The Month of Mars, 2010

Here we are! We now live in the future. How does it feel? Personally I believe it feels rather familiar. As in, not much has changed. Where’s my teleporter? I figured surely we’d have such technology by now. If hoping has anything to do with it, with Donovan’s help, we should have them by the [...]
