I had made a decision! I was sticking with it, no turning back. But in one afternoon self doubt came crashing down and I was suddenly filled with anxiety and back to square one! I don't like having things up in the air, if I have an important decision to make I will research obsessively, ask questions of anyone and everyone until I'm sure they try … [Read more...]

Easy Solar Eclipse Pinhole Viewer and Kidzilla Breaks my Laptop!
We made a pinhole in cardboard so we could watch the eclipse, or at least the projection of it on a white piece of cardboard! Well, as white as I could find. After quite a search (of course I did not prepare in advance!) I found one that wasn't completely painted on. I searched quite a while online to find easy directions with materials we already … [Read more...]
Beautiful Blue!
Finished a scarf I've been working on! Woohoo, happy dance! It's for a client and I love it so much I wish I could keep it! It's so soft and I just love the color. But, I started another one! I'm using a different pattern, but will definitely have the fun tassels again. I just love this yarn. … [Read more...]
Date night with Me!
I had exciting plans to go out, a very rare occurrence for this mom, last night with my husband and my mom to see the premier of Santa Cruz'n at the Santa Cruz film festival at Del Mar Theater, http://santacruz.festivalgenius.com/2012/films/santacruzin_philipspatton_santacruz2012. The kids would be at their other grandma's and I had visions of … [Read more...]
Quote of the Day
Now, you may be thinking my children are the best behaved, most wonderful little angels ever, and why wouldn't you?! I've never said otherwise (not in writing). But today I'm ready to quit my job and run away screaming! (of course I wouldn't do that so don't call CPS, they are, at this moment, angelically sleeping in their beds and I can remember … [Read more...]
Green and clean
I lathered my son in soap, as he was in the bath, rinsed him down, then reached for the shampoo. A normal occurrence for every mom, I'm sure, until he asks what shampoo is made of! "Umm, soap and some other stuff" is my lame answer. "What's in soap?" he asks. Now I feel really stupid! I don't know, I've never really thought about it. I do read … [Read more...]
Inspired by local artists
If your hands look like this, it's been a good day. I had such a wonderful Mother's Day! The kids had their easel set up next to mine in the backyard and we painted the afternoon away! We were all inspired the previous weekend having gone to open studios at 17th Avenue, 17thavenuestudios.org. If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend it! … [Read more...]
Inspiration
Not only did the kids learn a lot and have a great time exploring some wonderful local places this week, I was very inspired by the beauty around me. … [Read more...]
Fun learning outdoors this week!
We've had such a fun "school" week outdoors! We went to Harvey West Park, I don't get over there very often and forget how beautiful it is! I should know, it's where I got married after all! We went to play with friends at the playground, but as the nature lovers we are, were drawn into the forest. We walked along a path and found a little stream, … [Read more...]
