At the grocery store today, we saw mountains of green bananas …
Staying: Contemporary Hotel
I’m honored to have a my “review” of Disney’s Contemporary Hotel published today over on the lovely Keys to the Magic Travel blog!

We arrived at the station bright and early this morning …. With very few others around, I was able to get this nice photo.
Happiness Project: April 2012 – Giving myself a break
I’ve fallen off my Project 41 and Happiness Project wagon. For much of February and March, I was under the weather. Maybe it was “winter blues” or maybe it was something more (sore throat and icky), but now that we’ve entered April, I’m feeling mostly better other than a few pollen-induced headaches here and there.
instagram: painted toes
Today I took the girls to their first mani/pedi. Chloe loved it; Camille hated it. But we all now have good-looking toes for the beach!!
gulf coast – spring break 2012
For the first week of April, the girls and I headed down to the Gulf Coast in Evie. We spent one night in MS with friends, two nights at Gulf State Park in AL, two nights at Ochlockonee State Park in FL and one night by the beach at St. George Island State Park in

When we returned from our bike ride over to Avondale for the STEAMFestATL, we treated ourselves to popsicles from King of Pops on the square. Yum!

Not only did Chloe get chocolate milk at RenFest, but Rob ate chocolate covered bacon. Was this a Renaissance specialty?
epic trip out west – summer 2011
Yikes! When we got home from our epic trip last year, I decided to rearrange all my blogs and then we moved. And then I never created a post linking to all my posts about our super amazing trip. Looking back on all these posts, I can’t believe all that we saw, learned and did
instagram: Yum! Turtle Food
Camille “accidentally” dumped a few weeks worth of turtle food into Dumbledore’s cage. Instead of cleaning it, she just let it all float there. I’m hoping that the turtle doesn’t explode! Gazoo just loves turtle food and sat on top of the cage all evening inhaling her favorite aromas.
photo friday: gulf shores, al
When I first started planning our spring break, I thought we could see the Gulf of Mexico. The whole thing from Texas to Florida. Hey, we have done crazier things! After some consideration, I decided that Mississippi to the panhandle of Florida would be much more manageable in the short time that we had. Good
instagram: silver medal
Camille has been working harder on studying and homeschooling this year, and it looks like it has paid off! She did much better on her National Latin Exam this year (Level II) than last year! Alas, she’s decided that this is her final year of Latin after seven years of study.
instagram : shorter hair
I don’t have much time now as I try to make up for everything that I fell behind on during our spring break trip and get ahead before we leave for our next trips … But I managed to squeeze in getting a very needed haircut at the salon across the street.

Chloe worked on logic puzzles while Camille read New Yorker while waiting in line at Taqueria del Sol ….
meals … once again
In our move, I fell out of any menu-creating practice that I had gotten into. We were back to that horrible state of it being 6 or 7pm and none of us having any idea on what to make for dinner. Then that would turn into run to the store for something and quick, easy
quick dye jobs aren’t so good
For the past few years (2011, 2010, NOT 2009 – Year of the WHITE HOUSE EATER EGG ROLL, 2008, 2007 and certainly earlier years), we’ve used natural dyes for coloring eggs – turmeric, red cabbage, berries, beets, spinach and more. Even though we didn’t return from spring break until Friday night, I hit the store
instagram: visitor, departing
As I sit here, back at the grind — trying to catch up and also to get ahead, we had a visitor arrive … a mourning dove! After a short visit, he (she?) flew off just as I was trying to take a photo. Camera shy, I suppose …
instagram: Easter Flowers
The weekend flew by as we worked to regroup after our spring break adventure. Laundry, cleaning, photo organizing, egg-dyeing, bunny cake baking. Crazy Chloe also went tree climbing and running with Rob …
photo friday: kim possible mission at EPCOT
While we were at Disney for a cousin meetup last week driving like mad and eating lots of sweets , we enjoyed some of the new tweeny type activities that have been installed since our last trip. In the “Magic Kingdom”, Camille spent a little time on the Sorcerer’s of the Magic Kingdom .. it
instagram: life is good
Still not finding decent wi-fi, but 3G is allowing me to keep up, at least. SGI (St. George Island) is just lovely… A wonderful place to enjoy our last night of spring break, for sure….
