Today is National Tortilla Chip Day. The girls headed off to school in snow flurries. After working during the morning, I spent 4.5 hours at the Red Cross and still didn’t get done all that I needed to do. I spent the next two hours shopping at IKEA, Target and Kroger. I’m getting closer to

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 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

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!

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!

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 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
