Random Quote
Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now. And that’s a revelation for some people: to realize that your life is only ever now.

Having given myself permission to buy a whole bunch of books didn’t also magically create space to put said books. How unexpected and unfortunate. I never thought I’d be persuaded to try kale, let alone enjoy eating it, and yet … Continue reading
Thoughts on Halloween
We took the kids trick-or-treating on Halloween. As an outdoor activity, it seemed safe enough Covid-wise. Marshall wore a taco costume, and Livia dressed as a wolf. It was a relatively subdued night compared to previous years. There were fewer … Continue reading
Day 233: Halloween Accomplished
We went into Halloween without much of a plan, but we had everything we needed: Halloween gear, plenty of treats, our imaginations, and a willingness to be silly. My husband set up some spooky music and lighting in the great … Continue reading

Sean Connery died. I did not need this kind of news today. ๐ More bad news: the high school was closed Friday. There were so many teachers absent due to Covid quarantines that there weren’t enough at school to cover … Continue reading

Dear Kids, Halloween 2014 was a lot of fun. Marshall originally wanted to be a bat for Halloween. Bats weren’t “in” this year, so I figured I’d have to make the costume myself. Still, I thought it couldn’t hurt to … Continue reading
Halloween 2013
Dear Kids, This year you decided for yourselves what you wanted to be for Halloween. Marshall said he wanted to be a Scary Bee. Livia, taking her cue from her brother, declared that she wanted to be a bee, too. … Continue reading
