hump day nuggets: these are the days

April 28, 2010
hump day nuggets: little bits of the season in photos and words about the last week So I do these nuggets and by the very purpose of them, they are itty snippets of the last week, an overarching message composed of individual moments. I like this. But sometimes I have a day like yesterday and I feel like the rest of the last week and all its nuggety-ness has been trumped. Yesterday was arduous for both Andy and me. And … Continue reading hump day nuggets: these are the days →

earth week life

April 26, 2010
Last week’s front page of the Missoula Independent reads, Forget feel-good rallies and one-day recycling efforts. The 40th anniversary of the environmental movement’s biggest celebration calls for more drastic measures. Honestly I haven’t yet peeled open the pages to read more about that statement, but, on the surface I couldn’t agree more. It’s time to own it, people. And, as one who chose to procreate, I feel especially responsible for being a conscientious, informed and proactive inhabitant of our planet. … Continue reading earth week life →

hump day nuggets: rosy (giveaway!)

April 21, 2010
hump day nuggets: little bits of the season in photos and words about the last week I am in love. In fact, sometimes I feel shy about answering the question how are you? because I don’t want to seem all rose-colored glasses about my life. But, in truth, I’m rosy. When I made the choice to not return to my job (that I loved) after my second kid, I knew I’d at least equally love my new life. But really, … Continue reading hump day nuggets: rosy (giveaway!) →

mookers milestone and earth week

April 19, 2010
Margot ditched her beloved pacifier last week. Oh my girl and her willful, thoughtful way. She amazes me. For the last two years she’s loved her bedtime mookers and, just like that, she tossed it. Read about my husband’s brilliant strategy and Margot’s impressive gumption in this week’s mama digs, mookers milestone. :: :: :: Also, in honor of Earth Week (and as I cringe thinking of my daughter’s pacifier in a landfill), I am joining the Biomimicry Institute’s Great … Continue reading mookers milestone and earth week →
