Watch the Fish

August 30, 2012August 31, 2012 dailyfrosting2 Comments

Yesterday, I had the fantabulous pleasure of having a massage. My husband, God love him, surprised me and scheduled one, even covering the tip. I only had to show up, travel to bliss and leave the spa, floating on air. Big Sigh. I’ve often said that if I ever win the Powerball, weekly massages will… Continue reading Watch the Fish

It’s a Wrap

August 29, 2012August 30, 2012 dailyfrosting1 Comment

On days such as my birthday, I’m a stickler for exactitudes (is that a word? if not, I’m deeming it one). I was born at 10:38am, if I remember correctly, so I don’t officially turn my next beloved number until that hour. Call me silly. But, for the seasons, my thinking is more relaxed. This… Continue reading It’s a Wrap

Throw Some Confetti

August 29, 2012August 29, 2012 dailyfrosting6 Comments

The day is here. Back to school. Happy? Sad? I’ll call it bittersweet. I don’t know about you, but I love new school supplies. The total geek in me rears it’s ugly head and secretly loves going school supply shopping with my kids. There’s something about everything being so crisp and new. Everything orderly and… Continue reading Throw Some Confetti

Big Hulks and Little Gems

August 28, 2012 dailyfrostingLeave a comment

Simple. Little. I’m seeing a theme emerging. It started with a bookstore that I went into over vacation followed by a big box store I went into two days ago. One of my first posts on this blog was about the fact that I had all but boycotted Walmart. It got to the point where… Continue reading Big Hulks and Little Gems

Simple, simple, simple

August 27, 2012August 27, 2012 dailyfrosting2 Comments

This week, it’s all about simplifying. Read: the kids head back to school at the end of the week and the flurry of homework, activities, shopping, general mayhem ensues with a vengeance. Everything I (we) can do to prepare is a leg-up for smoother sailing as we enter the new school year. In my mind,… Continue reading Simple, simple, simple

I Clicked My Heels

August 24, 2012August 24, 2012 dailyfrosting4 Comments

I know I’ve written a million (or so it seems) posts about the little things in life that just make it so much better. This was another instance and as soon as I experienced it, I wanted to pass it along. While on vacation…you know, in that place where time slowed down and we totally… Continue reading I Clicked My Heels

Lend me your Ear

August 22, 2012August 23, 2012 dailyfrosting2 Comments

Late summer and the corn is as high as an elephant’s eye, or so the song from the classic Broadway hit Oklahoma! goes. Corn, corn, corn. Each of the many mom-and-pops vegetable stands that we passed on our vacation was offering it by the pile. I love those little tables erected on the side of… Continue reading Lend me your Ear

One slice of Americana, please

August 21, 2012August 22, 2012 dailyfrosting5 Comments

Last week, my family and I went on vacation. We packed up, headed out of suburbia and fled northward, as we do every year. Woods, lakes, fishing, kayaking, swimming and boating were our bedfellows for nine luscious, scrumptious days. We unplugged and were the better for it. There are no Starbucks. If you want a… Continue reading One slice of Americana, please

Summer Staple(s)

August 21, 2012August 21, 2012 dailyfrosting1 Comment

August 20th. It was a beautiful, late summer day and my kids and I were….. in Staples. The school supply mecca. … and with approximately three-quarters of the surrounding population because it seemed that EVERYONE got their “back-to-school” letters YESTERDAY. The letters. Until college applications kick in, these room assignment and team assignment letters (depending… Continue reading Summer Staple(s)
