Today is National Blueberry Pie Day and Great Poetry Reading Day. Work, work, work. But I’m tackling things that I’ve been putting off for a long time … especially after having been given this quote on a conf call “My willingness to fail gives me the capacity to succeed.” In the evening, Chloe accompanied me

Today is National Prime Rib Day. Typical Monday, except that I managed to tackle a long standing item on my to do list. I have an idea that if I force myself to cross one “weighing down” item each day, I can improve my self-esteem a bit. It feels so good to know I’ve done

photo friday: high falls state park
As with MLK weekend 2014, we headed to a yurt at High Falls State Park. Not far from Atlanta, the park makes a perfect weekend getaway. The yurts are a comfortable home-away-from-home for a weekend.

Today is World Creativity and Innovation Day. A good, productive day of work for me, which always helps me stay motivated to get the rest of the things done. I made tortellini soup for dinner, using the farm spinach. The girls are both stressed out from tests this week, so we had a quiet evening
chloe’s flute recital
Last spring, Chloe had a notion to start playing flute and join the middle school band. A kid wanting to take up a musical instrument? Great! And one that we already own (even if it is an old school flute from the 80’s)? Doubly great! The problem? Band at the middle school is a full

On the finaly day of our Thanksgiving week in NYC, we went shopping, breaking my “Buy Nothing Day” rules. First stop was the holiday market at Union Square, then on to Forbidden Planet and The Strand. We then wandered down to Washington Square Park and SoHo before heading back to Brooklyn and JFK.
