photo friday: window shopping in nyc
After skating and breakfast at Rockefeller Center and then at various times during the day, we had a hour or two to spend. We spent it window shopping. Some time in the Nintendo store playing. Some time at American Girl reminiscing. Some time at the Lego store adding to the wish list. And time at

Today is National Chocolate Mint Day and Chinese New Year. Chilly out this morning. My hair froze while walking Phelix. I still went without socks… Barbara came down from the cabin to take Chloe shopping during the afternoon despite the chilly weather. Our Moore’s Farm box came in – grapefruits, strawberries, duck eggs! (accidental mixup),

Today is “Drink Wine Day”. Ironic since I gave up alcohol and candy for Lent… I spent most of my day working. I had fallen a little bit behind with the girls around needing me to do things, but I caught up and also accomplished two major tasks and am feeling more confident, so that’s

Today is Mardi Gras and International Pancake Day and Random Acts of Kindness Day and National Cafe Au Lait Day. To start of this special day, I made chocolate chip pancakes. I just love how pretty the final batch turned out! After a (stressful) morning at work and home, Chloe and I headed out to

Today is National Almond Day … I celebrated by eating my daily serving of almonds. First day of “winter break”. Both girls had friends over while I tried to get my work done. Chloe, Anna and I took Chloe’s flute over to King Instrument Repair as its springs and screws are loose once again. I

Today is National Gumdrop Day. A quiet Sunday at our house. Rob and the girls headed out so Camille could help in the art store in Avondale and go to the library. I finished reading Walking Home: A Pilgrimage from Humbled to Healed by Sonia Choquette. I like this one much more than “Eat, Pray,

Today is Valentine’s Day. Other than all the conversation hearts and decorations, we didn’t really celebrate … My parents arrived a bit after noon. Phelix was over the moon to see his grandparents! And then a “hike”, even if urban, could not be beat! When we got back from our Decatur adventures, the poor, exhausted
photo friday: skating at rockefeller center
While planning our Thanksgiving week in New York City, I thought it might be fun for the girls to get a chance to skate at Rockefeller Center. The idea of standing in a line to do so was not attractive to me, so instead I signed us up for the Perfect Start. The pakcage included

Today is National Tortellini Day. Dinner was hurried because we had to get out the door, but it was tortellini! Chloe and decided that it was better to go to Atlanta Ballet‘s “Romeo et Juliette” on Friday the 13th instead of Valentine’s Day… while I whine about going to the Cobb Energy Center, we were

We love Moore Farm Day! I sent the girls across the street to Sawickis to pick up our farm box. Strawberries! Tofu! Eggs! and Greens! We all plus two friends went to Souper Jenny tonight to eat grilled cheese in support of the DeKalb Library. Furthered my language studies with Duolingo today. I’m working on

Today is National Peppermint Patty Day & Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day. While I didn’t spill any milk, I did get a Peppermint Patty! Early this morning, I made a big accomplishment at work — I was able to generate documentation directly from Python source code! I followed the instructions from How to generate

Today is National Cream Cheese Brownie Day & Umbrella Day. My cream cheese brownies didn’t turn out so well. I think the chocolate was too hot when I spooned the cream cheese topping on. I spent a couple hours at my volunteer job at the Red Cross. I just love the feeling of walking in

Today is National Bagels & Lox Day and Pizza Pie Day and Hershey’s Chocolate Day. To celebrate we made homemade pizza for dinner! Finally finished Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation by Michael Pollan. Though it took me a long time to get through, I did enjoy it, even the chapters about barbecuing! Once the

Today is Jules Verne Day and National Molasses Bar Day. We celebrated neither. I took my day of rest, mostly reading and relaxing. I find that having one down day a week really helps me with renewing for the upcoming week! I did spend a few moments to write a blog entry about the needle

Today is National Fettuccine Alfredo Day and Charles Dickens Day. Breakfast was farm eggs and waffle iron hash browns. So much easier than using the skillet – and less greasy too! Dinner was, of course, Alfredo’s of Rome’s Original Fettuccine Alfredo. Simple and delicious. Served with greens from our farm box. Yesterday, I overheard the

After getting the girls off to school, cleaning and working, I headed out to Arabia to take Phelix on a hike. The second I got out my backpack, he was so excited. Back at home, we had lunch, then I worked a bit more. In the late afternoon, I took Camille to Avondale to meet

After our afternoon at Prospect Park, we hoped on the subway to the beach. The subway to the beach! Though it was dark and chilly, we walked down to the water at Coney Island just to look out over the dark horizon. Hungry, we stopped in at Nathan’s for our helping of fried food. A
