A couple of months ago, I talked about my newfound love of green juice. I'm happy to report that I've been imbibing chock-full of vitamins and nutrients in liquid form every day for the past seventy days, and I tell you, it's changed my life.

And more good news: I will be teaching another class shortly after ... Read more

There is a moral about greed and ... Read more
Happy Friday + Randomness
Happy Friday, my lovely friends! I had hoped to be much more productive this week with K in camp (which has been so fantastic - art! glass museum and ceramics studio visits! 3-D movies!), but I've mysteriously frittered away time and now I'll be doing "Mama camp" at K's request for the remainder of summer. Postings might get spotty the next couple of weeks, but I will do my best to stick to my regular programming! Some exciting news: I'm teaching a sewing class! I like to call Keli, the owner ...
