headache, headache
Rob and the girls are off in Florida this weekend. I made list after list of things that I was planning to get done : work, cleaning, organizing, reading blogging. Phelix got me up at 7am, so I was sure I’d have a good start. After taking him for a nice walk and having a
daily photo: sunset
The afternoons and early evenings in a west facing apartment can get quite hot, so we tend to close the blinds. Unfortunately, if I forget to open the blinds back up again, I end up missing the sunset as well. Thankfully, tonight I managed to open up in time to see pink, blue and more
photo friday: renfest
A bit over a month ago, the girls and I headed down to the Georgia Renaissance Festival as we’ve bee doing for years now. As we’ve learned from experience, it helps to arrive early to beat the line for parking. The weather was good and the girls had fun — however Chloe didn’t have quite

The girls made popsicles today — it is summer after all!
volunteering: red cross – Step 1
A few months ago, I wrote about how I’ve longed to become a Red Cross volunteer for decades (decades?!?). A couple weeks ago, while I was working as a public safety (Decatur Police and Fire CAPS) volunteer at the Arts Festival, I was introduced to a Red Cross volunteer, and I begged for an introduction.

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a good photo of Lucy before — I’m so happy she and Camille have become good friends! It is always a joy to have Lucy along for the ride ๐

We finally finished up with our Decatur scavenger hunt this evening — what fun!!
Happiness Project: Weekly Practice: Item 4
I thought I had Item 3 from 22 Things Happy People Do Differently in the bag. It’s what I preach. And though I often practice it, when I get too stressed, I feel defeated by every “challenge”. I think I need to review these items each and every day to remind myself! This week, the

summer passport 2013: week 3
This week, we completed only *six* more of our summer passport activities. Uh oh…. falling behind already. We’re going to have to work hard at having fun in order to stay on track. This week we completed: 8. Flower headbands: 3 jun 2013 26. Decatur Scavenger Hunt: 5 jun 2013 30. Do a jigsaw puzzle:

The hike down wasn’t too bad, even if not well signed. The march back up to the top? That was a LOT of stairs!
hometown saturday: scavenger hunt
We had fun doing this Cluetown scavenger hunt. I’d love to see it expanded into more far reaching, more challenging, maybe even team or collaborative challenges. Why stop now?? Want to share a photo from a hometown of your this week? Link up below! Please share a link back to this page in your post

On our way up to Cloudland Canyon, Chloe did some reading. She wants to quit the summer reading program since it is too stressful to record reading hours as opposed to just reading for fun. (That’s my girl! ๐
photo friday: high and low
Last San Francisco Photo Friday, I promise! It’s been almost two months since the trip, so time to finish up and move onto our trip to NYC and our summer camping adventures. I had no clue how to get to the top of Telegraph Hill in order to visit Coit Tower – a place I
daily photo: headband
One of Camille’s suggestions of things to do for our Summer 2013 Passport was to make flower headbands. Not really my thing, but she made hers. Looks like something a bride might wear, but I’m sure it is for some costume that she’s working on!
celebrations: week 24 (10-16 jun 2013)
Summer’s here, and it’s time to celebrate!! This past week, we celebrated “Hug Your Cat Day” and “National Yo Yo Day” (although Chloe’s yo-yo broke the day before the holiday…). And of course, I celebrated “National Go Barefoot Day” as I celebrate that almost every single day! Coming up this week: 10: Iced Tea Day

Today we started our “Downtown Decatur” scavenger hunt from Cluetown. Unfortunately, thunderstorms rolled in. Thankfully, the clue we were working on at that moment led us TO OUR HOME!
happiness project: energy (june)
So, how did it go, my happiness project topic for May? Als, not so good. I had a couple of truly low periods during the month. I did not have enough energy to even attempt to do the things that might have helped me improve my energy levels. But ever since getting out of town
