silly kids – 7 jul 2011
Chloe and her friend were being very silly at Chloe’s birthday dinner at the chinese restaurant.
Happy Birthday Chloe!
She’s now an nine year old! Dinner at her favorite restaurant (Harmony Vegetarian) with friends, her parents and her grandparents. Then home for ice cream cake and presents and sparklers. Our family rule is that nine is the magic age for getting ears pierced. I suspect that we will head out sometime in the coming
gazoo – 6 jul 2011
As Gazoo’s birthday was just two days ago, today was her annual checkup. See how excited she is to go? She tried to hide, but she really isn’t all that bright. I don’t love our vet, but they are convenient and have never done anything that worries me, so we keep going … once a
room of the month (again)
If you’ve been following along with me for any amount of time, I’m sure you are tired of hearing about my cleaning/de-cluttering strategy., called room of the week, though really “Room of the Month” these days. Unfortunately for you, here I am posting about it again. Simply because I’m happy to have finally taken care
pond plants – 5 jul 2011
Our yard is a terrible mess. I’ve pretty much given up trying to plant anything until I can hire someone to do the dirty work of tilling and conditioning, or whatever needs to be done to make it so that I *can* plants things and not have them die in days due to the crappy
Gazoo’s Fourth Birthday
When Gazoo walked in the door and made herself at home in our house at the end of October of 2007, we had no idea where she came from or how old she was, though it was obvious she was pretty young. We took her off to the vet, who said she was about four
sparklers – 4 jul 2011
To celebrate Gazoo’s birthday and the Fourth of July, we had a party! The girls made a cake, I cut up veggies for the grill, Rob grilled. Some friends came over to celebrate with us; we made homemade ice cream and lit up some sparklers too. We stayed up far too late but the combination
petunia – 3 jul 2011
A number of our plants did survive our long absence from home. The petunias survived and are now started to flourish with the watering attention form the girls. Petunia — reminds me that the last Harry Potter movie will soon be released…. !
Rant: Sharing Photos of My Kids
The other day, I read this article Inspired by Pink: All-Access Parenting and Limiting Facebook Photos, and it got under my skin. I’ve been seething on and off ever since. I wish I could figure out why this article made me so angry. Perhaps because the author comes across to me with a control-freak (the

blueberries – 2 jul 2011
What a blessing. Today as I put together ideas for boosting my energy, a special package of freshly picked blueberries was gifted to my by one of my friends and neighbors. These blueberries were beautiful and tasted so wonderful fresh that I was loathe to put them in my afternoon yogurt smoothie. How wonderful to
Happiness Project: July – Energy
A new month, a new item to tackle for my Happiness Project! As a reminder (to myself!), May’s focus was on Diet. Unfortunately, our month on the road negated most of what I had gained (or lost) during May. Thus July is going to be a dual focus — getting back to where I was
chloe – 1 jul 2011
Chloe enjoyed some time at home alone while her sister went over to visit with a friend.
Photo Friday: Evie
I can’t believe we did it. We lived in Evie, our PopTop EuroVan, for 38 days. She traveled almost 10,000 miles across 22 states. We traveled and camped almost the entire trip, visiting Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and a million other great sights. Evie is taking a little break this week, but we are
