Today is International Picnic Day and National Cherry Tart Day and World Juggling Day. I had a terrible night with a sore throat and an earache. I tried to sleep in, but couldn’t. I got up and cleaned and took care of a few things around the house, then read and relaxed. Rob went to
home away from home.
On our latest trip to NYC, Camille and I stayed in a nice brownstone apartment in Brooklyn. Staying in an apartment when we travel always makes us feel at home. We find our bagel place, our grocery store, our metro stop, and other local “favorites”. After only one day, we are “home”. We adjust to

Today is Eat Your Vegetables Day and National Apple Strudel Day and National Flip Flop Day. Felt so ill, I could not get up this morning. Sore throat, headache, achy muscles. I managed to get Camille up at 8:30, and she helped me get the house picked up. I took a sick day at work

Thoroghfares, back alleys. Trolley lines and train tracks. Public art. Everywhere we looked, there was something interesting to see in Memphis!

Today is National Fudge Day and Fresh Veggies Day. Up early to get things done. Worked a bit, but my head just wasn’t in it. I went to the Red Cross and pushed myself to get the work done, but when I got home, I collapsed. I think I’m coming down with something – probably

Today is Flag Day and National Strawberry Shortcake Day. I was up early to get things done. Camille and I slowly packed up and left our apartment around 10:30. We were both running slow, so we decided to go to the Nintendo Store. The upstairs was closed due to some E3 event. From there we

Today is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day and Red Rose Day. Again, we had a bit of a slow start after a busy day! We headed out around 9:30, and got to the City Winery plenty early for the Brady Rymer show. It was fun being back in kindieland! I enjoyed the show and catching
sunrise at hike inn.
Hard as it might be to get up early the day after a strenuous hike, missing the sunrise at Hike Inn is not an option. Even with the clouds, the sky is magical.

photo friday: graceland
How can you not go to Graceland while in Memphis? I’m not really a fan of Elvis, but Graceland seems like a place everyone should visit at least once in their lives. A house frozen in time. Wacky and Wild. Unfortunately, the Rock & Roll Cafe was sold out of the toasted peanut butter and

happiness project monthly breakdown: health (dec)
December is the “Health/Self-Care” month in my Happiness Project. In 2013, 2014, and 2015, I did things like go to the doctor for the first time in years, put together medical histories (doctors, dentists, prescriptions, immunizations, surgeries, etc.) for me and the girls. In the future, I hope to add some more health and self-care

summer travels.
Summer. The time for our big family trips. We’ve made some memories on our travels – camping in Evie on the Out West trip. Living in Galway for three weeks on the Irish summer. Turkey, Japan, St. John, Cape Cod, and more. Unless by some miracle the stars align next summer and we finally get

Today is National Yo-Yo Day. Up early to clean, take care of things, work. Chloe and I headed out to the dentist; she has no cavities, thankfully. Back at home I worked more then cleaned. We made tacos for dinner; Chloe and Kayleigh went to the pool until it rained. #BestDayEver #day0253
