It is amusing to me how children change your life. Before we had kids, a romantic weekend involved a few long runs, home cooked meals or fancy restaurants, and a day walking on the beach or hiking in the woods. Our kids have been at the grandparents’ since yesterday afternoon and our romantic weekend has […]
I know this is going to make it’s way around the internets, but because it reminds me so much of my brother’s super power, had to post it.
I’m coveting the spiral wine cellar featured on SlashFood this week. I wonder if I can get my husband to drop one in below our dining room. And while he is at it, a hideaway for those nights the kids are crabby. Perhaps more efficient is for me to just stowaway in the cellar, drinking […]
Somehow we’ve acquired 3 scooters and 4 scooterers, so we’ve been busy scooting around, recently. As a result, I’ve got only interesting things other people have found on the Internets to show you. Here’s a talk by Dan Ariely, a professor at Duke University illustrating how humans make irrational decisions. And if you are really […]

I was in a Christmas mood until I read Bob Boilen’s best songs of 2008 list, and since I’ve been dying to listen to the music from his list that I purchased. (Such an NPR zombie.) To get myself back in the mood, I’ve found some good free Christmas music. And because I’m practicing this […]
The girls went shopping at Bazaar Bizarre – a crafty faire – in San Francisco, yesterday. In general, the crafty things were nice, but not exciting enough to coax cash from my pockets (except the tasty looking and tasting cupcakes). There was one non-baked star which came mighty close to freeing me of $175 – […]
