This Valentine’s weekend we had over some girls from Isabel’s third grade class for a DANCE PARTY. It was fun, though maybe, in retrospect, the microphones were a bad idea. It has become a tradition for us to have a “photo booth” at these kid parties. I find the kids just loosen up when there... Read More →

In the theme of lazy, I’m not going to write much. Sunday, I took a nap all morning to recover from the GS Camp Out. The kids watched Tooth Fairy. In the afternoon, we went sailing. The kids enjoyed the boat. We weren’t out for long. Sailed the bay between Coconut Grove toward Key Biscayne.... Read More →

I went to my first real camp out Saturday. You know, tents, cooking outdoors, screaming girls. It was a Girl Scouts camp out, did I mention that? And luckily, there were actually bathrooms there.

Back in February 2010, she posted a tutorial and free template. I just stumbled on it today and it was exactly what I needed. Cathy’s Template and Tutorial... Read More →

I had big plans for a digital project last night, but got a bit side-tracked. See, a few weeks ago, one of my best friends, Stephanie, posted her status on Facebook as: “Has a book hangover. You’d think she’d know better.” She had been reading Room, which be next on my list. (I read the... Read More →

A rainy Monday. No school. No work. Lunch at The Big Cheese (pizza with ham + bacon + pineapple). Then, a trip to the Knausberry Farm in Homestead for the BEST strawberry sundaes and shakes. Reconnecting with old friends and meeting a new one. You just can’t beat that. It was so great to spend... Read More →
