Photo Friday: The High Museum
This week, the girls and I took advantage of our light work/homeschool/activities schedule and headed to the High Musuem of Art to see the Dali exhibit before it leaves! When Camille was little, we managed to get to the High almost weekly for the Toddler Thursday events, and we both have fond memories of our
Around Atlanta: Arabia Mountain
As I walked out the door to head down to the lake to welcome the sun back from the longest night, I immediately had to strip off some layers. For pre-dawn on December 22nd, it sure was hot and humid!! I had planned on taking the girls to the High Museum that morning, but after
Travels in Turkey: Mapping our Stay
Travels in Turkey, Part 11 of 12 Last week, I pulled together all of my posts about our trip to Turkey into a Planning and Itinerary post, hopefully making it so our adventure was a little easier to follow. This week, I’ve worked on creating a map of our travels. View Travels in Turkey –
Travel Tuesday: Weekly Favorites
This week is looking to be a great one here in Atlanta. Eclipse viewing, maybe a trip to the High and projects around the house. I love what I’ve been reading out there on the web, and I’d love to share my highlights with you. Here are some of my favorites form the week: I
Mondays are for Dreaming: Pont du Gard
“Mommy, the Romans didn’t have train tracks, right?” “No.” “Okay, but they did have bridges, right?” “Yes, remember the big one we went to in France?” “Not really.” Quick internet search for photo. “Oh, yeah, I remember that place!” (Whew.) Between this exchange, which happened two minutes ago, and having recently read Great Kid Trip
Travels in Turkey: Planning and Itinerary
Travels in Turkey, Part 10 of 12 While I’ve blogged about bits and pieces of our family trip to Turkey this summer, I realized yesterday that I never created an overview of the whole trip. For my own reference, I’d like to have access to all of my writings in one place, and I hope
Travel Tuesday: Weekly Favorites
This week is feeling even better than last week now that I have my own computer again (thank you Apple!!). I love what I’ve been reading out there on the web, and I’d love to share my highlights with you. Here are some of my favorites form the week: After seeing the photos of Paris
Mondays are for Dreaming: Hakone, Japan
When I woke this morning, I was not dreaming of Japan. But, as I sipped coffee and read the news this morning, this article from the Washington Post jumped out at me: Going Our Way: A plan for first-timers in Japan. Curious as to what they might suggest, I was thrilled to see that Hakone
Photo Friday: Over the River and Through the Woods
As we’ve done for the past 10+ years, we headed up to Blue Ridge, Georgia, to my parents’ cabin for Thanksgiving. I do love getting out to the woods and taking long walks along the (sort of) country lanes down to and along the river. Camille came with me on many of my walks, and
Travels in Turkey: Around Selcuk
Travels in Turkey, Part 9 of 12 (I am resolved to finish up this series before 2011 gets here!) For one week of our trip to Turkey, we stayed in a villa in Selcuk, the modern city near Ephesus and close to the Aegean cost. From there, we took some day trips, like to Hierapolis
Cirque du Soleil: OVO
The girls and I logged quite a large number of miles in our car last month. As usual, we spent quite a large part of our time tuned into Sirius/XM Kids Place Live. One evening, Robbie Schaefer interviewed a number of performers and other folk involved in Cirque du Soleil’s OVO. Chloe was so excited
Travel Tuesday: Weekly Favorites
This week, I’ve started to feel like myself again. I realize now that I was in serious need of some downtime at home. Trying to keep up with work, homeschooling and the rest while on the road had been taking its toll. With that, I’ve enjoyed having a little more time to read blog posts
Mondays are for Dreaming: White Christmas
The holiday season is in full swing here in our little hamlet of Pine Lake. This past weekend, we celebrated with our Pancake Breakfast with Santa, Cookie Exchange and Lighting of the Lake. Our house is decked with a tree, lights and pine rope. Holly, the contemporary Sirius/XM holiday music station is almost always turned
Doing Good: Passports with Purpose
As I sit here on this Sunday morning, contemplating Christmas cards, Christmas gifts and all the holiday cheer and happiness that gets lost in my stress, I struggle with ideas on how to get back to the meaning of the season. Gift buying is particularly stressful for me. I have become increasingly frustrated with stuff.
Light Up Blue Ridge
The finale of our Thanksgiving celebrations last weekend was “Light Up Blue Ridge”. Each year, the celebration has grown and grown. I suppose there is no surprise there. That’s what happens. My mom went down early to practice with the tubas. When the rest of us arrived, we had to park in the new auxiliary
Photo Friday: Cameron Park Zoo
Since Camille got her pick of a fiber festival on the Saturday of our final weekend in Texas, we decided to give Chloe her pick on Sunday — the zoo! But which zoo? Chloe wanted Houston (too far), we had been south on I-35 twice already (ruling out San Antonio), so that left us to
Turkey Trot, er, Walk
On a whim last week, I suggest that we participate in the 2010 Blue Ridge Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. Despite no training or even no desire on my part to actually run, I thought it could be a fun way to kick off Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving morning, we headed to town earlier than the girls
Photo Friday: Boerne, TX
While we were in TX for two weeks at the start of the month, I promised the girls that we would do some day trips beyond Georgetown/Austin. The first weekend, we headed to San Antonio. For the second weekend, we did not take off an overnight trip, but we did explore two places new to
San Antonio Views
As I’ve mentioned, the girls, Barbara and I visited San Antonio while we were spending a couple of weeks in Texas. While we enjoyed visiting the San Antonio Museum of Art, the Riverwalk via boat, La Villita, Market Square and the Alamo, I think my lists of things I want to go back and see
Photo Friday: San Antonio
Not only am I a day behind on my Photo Friday, I’m behind on everything right now. So it seems only fitting that this Photo Friday post be comprised of photos from our trip to San Antonio two weeks ago. As always, a few good days in one place and I’ll get caught back up
