Today is Bunsen Burner Day and World Backup Day. I spent a few hours at the Red Cross today, getting the credit cards all ready for the bank switchover. Hopefully it will go smoothly! I spent the evening working while the girls did homework, Chloe practiced flute, and Camille read. Rob got home at 7:30.

Almost a year and a half have passed since I (re)started my a Happiness Project. While this Happiness Project of mine seems to be a tyrant at times, it has been serving its purpose, freeing up some time for me to pursue my personal wish list AND helping me actually move forward on that list.

Today is Pencil Day and National Doctor’s Day. Woke to pouring rain. My perfect kind of day – we have been promised so many rainy days in the last few weeks and haven’t had much of any. Unfortunately for my work, the skies cleared up mid-morning. When the rain stopped, I walked over to the

photo friday: tavern on the green
Another item on my NYC wish list was to take the girls to Tavern on the Green for lunch. More expensive than most places where we dine, we knew it was going to be a splurge. Watching the snow fall on the park as we ate our delicious meal was a perfect way to celebrate

Today is National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day. I got up so early that I had time to exercise and take care of things before getting the girls up for school. I had a productive day at work and took a little time to walk to the post office and run other errands. In the late afternoon,

Today is National Ravioli Day and National Quilting Day and Spring Equinox and Snowman Burning Day. Sick. Sick. Sick. Hoping it is just allergies, but I could barely move today.

photo friday: ellis island
The ferry to Liberty Island also includes a stop at Ellis Island. At one point, both of my girls were interested in immigration, but not so much any more. I think we all used all of our enthusiasm up at Liberty Island. We enjoyed seeing Ellis Island, but we didn’t spend much time there. Camille
