Anniversaries. They mark time. It’s important that we celebrate them and not just let them wash by us in the flurry of the everyday routines. They are special for a reason. They may mark the day you said “I do” or even the day you said “I don’t” (site the movie Under the Tuscan Sun.… Continue reading Marking Time
“There are years that ask questions and years that answer.” ― Zora Neale Hurston This is so true. I know this to be true. Have you experienced these times? Some years, you can wonder and wonder some more about any number of things and there’s only a tangled web up in your brain. But then,… Continue reading Ask me a Question…
Been married for almost 18 years but I still love a good date. The fruit, that is (thank you for putting up with that opening sentence-I just had to do it). I’ve noticed, as I’m sure you have too, that there are some unsung foods out there. Ones that really are so good, but for… Continue reading Not One to Remain Dateless
One of my favorite quotes of all time, and I’m not even sure who said it (sure, I could Google it, but I’m feeling lazy, which is ironic given the quote I’m about to hit you with) is… The world has dreamers. The world has doers. But most of all, the world needs dreamers who… Continue reading Need ’em Both
Every morning, after I drop my girls off at their schools, I listen to NPR.I know I’ve mentioned this to you all before, this is not (pardon the pun) news. At that hour in the morning, I’m not quite awake enough to want to be assaulted with music and I want to get a little… Continue reading Waste Not, Thrill Many
I pulled out my poncho today, along with my jeans and a cute pair of flats. For the first time in months, my toes are enclosed. Feels odd, but also good (can put off fixing that waning pedicure a few more days). Cool mornings. Dark mornings. Too nippy to sit on the front porch and… Continue reading Of Ponchos and Sugar
This weekend, on a beautiful fall day, my family and I went to an art-park. That makes it sound commercial, but it’s the simplest way to explain it. A sprawling area of maintained and manicured acreage that is peppered with modern art pieces of all shapes, sizes and materials. Many pieces are huge installations and… Continue reading Art? I see Cake.
I’m superstitious. I knock on wood. I routinely throw salt over both of my shoulders while I am cooking (I can never remember which one is the correct one, so I pitch it over both…just to be sure). I have a good luck charm that I have rubbed so much over the years, the face… Continue reading Whoooooo Knows…
Of Humor, that is. This week, I’ve been musing on some of the basics that I feel are unsung yet critical to our well-being. I’m the biggest offender, for sure (ie. two nights ago I went to bed at midnight, a mere day after having written about needing more sleep in my life), so I… Continue reading A Dose will Do Ya
As I scurried to get my 9 month old baby off to our first Mommy-and-Me yoga class, the phone rang. Then I turned the TV on. In attempting to go to a class centered around peace and contentment, the world was offering up the complete opposite on that fateful September morning. Today, in the midst… Continue reading x2
