Phelix has gotten into the habit of going to meet Chloe’s bus each afternoon. We’ve found that giving him a “bone” to chew on as he walks distracts him a bit from eating all the trash on the sidewalks….
things i like: my new camera strap
For years now, I’ve wanted a longer camera strap. Being “well endowed” and ALSO loving to take “from the hip” photos, the straps that come with camera bodies are far too constraining for me. Looking for solutions for this problem, I found one that makes me very, very happy…. Camera Strap – Fun Striped Print
daily photo: waiting
“Chloe the bored.” She does not idle well. Entertaining her on long flights (think ATL > Japan), long car trips or even waiting in line at the store has been a constant challenge. But this week, she rocked the long wait at the doctor. Not only did she entertain herself, she entertained me. She even
waiting, waiting
At 1pm, I had finished work, crossed a couple things off of my to do list, taken the dog out for a “business” walk and put him in his crate. I “flew” (while respecting speed limits, of course) down to Oakhurst. Chloe’s class was S…L..O…W in coming in from recess. We swung by the B&G
daily photo: homework
Chloe had her first homework since getting back to school after the break and had a hard time settling in to get it done. Eventually, it and all her chores were done, thankfully.
celebrations – week 1 (Jan 1-7)
As I wrote in resolutions and traditions and celebrations, oh my1 , I’d like to start taking a little more time for celebrations. The girls love them, and having a guide helps me try out new recipes and do more off-line crafts. This week, we managed to celebrate a number of “holidays” even with the

Camille made this lovely “Galette du Rois” today and promises that she found the “king” by chance!
phelix files: week 5
On New Year’s Eve, Phelix had a bath, that stinky boy, and went into town to use his Christmas present at the pet store — his mom and big sis picked out a brand new sweater for him. He wasn’t thrilled about staying up until midnight to ring in the New Year, but ring it
daily photo: waterworks
Despite having lived within a few miles of this place for over a decade, today was the first time I’ve been to Mason Mill Park and the historic waterworks. Phelix is going to love it!
hometown saturday: nature preserves
This weekend, I asked my mom if she would take the girls on a short birding adventure for National Bird Day. On the suggestion of another birder, she suggested Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve. Despite being just a couple miles from our house, I’d never been — though Rob did once take the girls. I look
daily photo: gazoo
While Phelix was out on a walk this afternoon, Gazoo decided to check out his very messy pen to see if she could learn more about this noisy creature who has invaded her quiet home.
photo friday: snow in blue ridge
While we were up in Blue Ridge for our traditional New Year’s Eve celebrations, we had a bit of a surprise — SNOW! Given the warm temperatures we’ve been having, I had assumed that we would not see any white stuff in Georgia this winter. While the snow was barely more than a dusting and

There is “art” everywhere you look in Decatur …

Sigh. I was very sad to learn what this means — I was hoping that it was something positive….
things i like: deathly hallows necklace
I’ve been wanting this “Xenophilious Lovegood” necklace for years. I was not thrilled with the idea of getting it from a company in China. THen I remembered Etsy! Yes, Etsy… Witha little surfing, I found an artisan in Texas who makes the necklace I wanted — I spent a little more, but I don’t mind.
daily photo: fog
The new year started out rainy and foggy and grey, not a great day for a hike or doing much outside other than taking the dog out.
resolutions and traditions and celebrations, oh my!
It is January 1st once again. And as generally happens at the start of the year, I am making resolutions, or reaffirming resolutions I’ve made in the past, whether I’ve been successful with them or not. My resolutions evolve occasionally and are part of my live fully life goals. This year, I decided to ask
