On Saturday night my family and I went to a dinner show in town. It seemed like a good activity for the family, and we were pretty excited. The ticket price included a family-friendly meal and child care during
the show, which was a must-have for the twin 3-year-olds. We made our reservations and showed up on time.
Screwing Up
I hate the feeling when I screw up. I like to be together, kind, thoughtful, organized, tidy etc—all the good words. However it seems like when I go fast, I start to miss things. I am much better able to be all the good words when I have time to think, time to plan and… Continue reading Screwing Up
Mystery Picture–Who are these girls?
I was cleaning out an old desk that I have in my office and I found a picture in a frame at the back of the desk. I “Freecycled” the desk from the side of the road a few years ago so I have no idea who these people are.
Ask Me Anything
You can ask me anything, don’t be shy. I may choose not to answer it, but as my teachers used to say, “There are no dumb questions.” Now if you have ever been in an adult course, you know this is just not true because I have heard some really dumb questions in my day.… Continue reading Ask Me Anything
Restaurant Review: Webers
We were impressed by the quick greeting we got from a staff member taking our order. We needed to check some food allergies and they brought out some very useful food sheets that made ordering easy. They took our order and our money and we waited in line.
Worst Beauty Advice
Some months ago I was at the store and a very well meaning clerk gave me a tip that changed my life–but it wasn’t for the better. She recommended a great product called Shiseido Facial Cotton. They are lovely, perfect cotton pads for make-up or swiping the face with toner. They were a great recommendation.
Sharing Writing
I want to share myself through writing. I want the essence of who I am to sneak through the words and onto the page. Tiny bits of me tumbling through the letters and sentence structure to transmit a little bit of me to people who stop by to read what I have written. I want my voice to sing, I want my words to touch and inspire, I want my hands to touch the keys with love and transfer the emotion to the world that is in my heart.
What’s a Bookii Anyway?
I was hanging out with a crazy Brit named George when I first had the idea of the bookii. I had been working on writing a book and was finding it incredibly 2 dimensional. I wanted multiple topics and more visual than I could accomplish in print. I wanted my reader to be able to explore… Continue reading What’s a Bookii Anyway?
Unlikely Renewal of Vows
A couple of mornings ago we were all hanging around in the kitchen during breakfast and my son Xander said, “I don’t want you guys to ever get divorced.” He has been asking questions lately about step-parents and would he ever have step-parents and I know his little brain is trying to figure it all out. My… Continue reading Unlikely Renewal of Vows
My Daughter’s Gift
I have been feeling really tired lately. Too tired to be effective. I can explain it–I have been busy. I had a coaching call about a month ago and I kept saying “If I can just get to vacation, then I will slow down…” Then I got to March break and worked really hard at… Continue reading My Daughter’s Gift
