my journey, destination unknown
Another day of school and work. I ran a number of errands, including a trip to the Container Store. When Camille got home from play practice, she made fettuccine alfredo for “National Fettuccine Alfredo Day”. People started arriving at 7pm for game night. We all stayed up too late.
The girls and I had a lovely weekend at LEAF, now almost four months ago. I don’t know if and when we’ll return to LEAF, but we sure did make good friends and memories on our many weekends there. photo friday: LEAF fun – (oct 2013) photo friday: LEAF food (oct 2013) photo friday: lake…
7am physical therapy for Chloe. School and work. Lunch with Val for Gwyneth. Camille stayed late for theater. Chloe helped make pot pies for dinner.
Thrive!, Project 43 and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. January’s main theme was Friends + Family. I’ve made…
A grumpy morning for everyone. Work and school. Claire and Camille made cookies after school. Gwyneth went to her first RAD (self-defense) class.
Normal day of work and school. A trip to Sawicki’s to pick up a good baguette. Chloe left school early to go to physical therapy, then Jane came over to visit. Homemade soup for dinner. Organizational family meeting in the evening.
A couple months ago, a friend asked if I am finding myself with more “free time” now that my girls are both in school. That question quickly stopped me in my tracks. Surely, I must feel as though I now have more time for myself with the girls both in school, right? So why do…
Back to the grind day. Catch up day. Carpool to gymnastics day for Gwyneth. Bicycle traffic ticket for Rob. Jenga tournament in the amenities room.
We celebrated a few week 5 holidays, including Chocolate Cake Day, Corn Chip Day and Croissant Day. Coming up this week: 3: Carrot Cake Day Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie. – Jim Davis, the creator of “Garfield” Carrot Cake Cupcakes 4: Stuffed Mushroom Day…
A morning spent organizing boxes from the office closet. Preparations for the week ahead.
Late start and then off to the Container Store to pick up the rest of our shelves and desk. We also got some storage stuff and a new desk chair. Chloe bought a Nook and ran into friends at the Barnes and Noble. We stopped at Harmony to get food to bring home for our…
Snow day number THREE this week. We spent time organizing art stuff. Camille went out to lunch with Claire at Sushi Avenue. Chloe went to gymnastics. We made homemade pizza for dinner. Claire slept over.
While at the Lake Eden Arts Festival, we don’t just listen to music, look at art and eat, there’s also lots to do and time to sit quietly. Chloe loves the more active things, from the kids’ village to the zipline. Camille often opts for the quieter activities like drawing, reading and knitting.
House full of kids slowly got moving. Camille left to babysit for a while. After a morning of work and play, Rob, Chloe, Camille, Emma and I slid down to Taqueria del Sol to meet Emma’s family for lunch. Rob took Chloe to physical therapy. We had a quiet afternoon and evening at home after…
Still learning about time lapse. This one is a little TOO slow. Like watching a pot boil. This one is a bit faster, the snow is gone, but the sun does set! Yesterday was such a quiet day here. While I know how much our businesses depend on the traffic, I enjoyed the slowness of…
A snow day for everyone but me. I worked on and off throughout the day, taking time to go for a couple walks in the snow. Chloe went sledding all day. Camille walked around town with her friends, enjoying the day off. We had three extra girls spend the night, and Camille made Frito pie…
A few weeks ago, I read a short column in Time that left me all mumbly and grumbly. The “research” alluded to in Paper, Plastic Or Neither had me fit to be tied: One study found that a cotton tote must be used at 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. Well,…
A typical morning of heading off to work and school. Snow started to fall around noon. And it got crazy out there. I picked Chloe up from school to go to physical therapy. Camille got let out of school early. Rob got out of work early. People who had to commute got STUCK for hours!…
I have much to learn about time lapse photography, but this was an interesting exercise for me to attempt! The Atlanta metro area is a mess. People are still stuck trying to get home after spending 7+ hours to go 20 miles.
A day of work and school. Chloe stayed home from gymnastics. Claire came over. Chocolate cake for National Chocolate Cake Day!
