When I read that phrase in the most recent issue of Yoga Journal, I knew I had to borrow it. You see, this summer I led an outdoor yoga series entitled “Going Green For God.” And in an effort to … Continue reading
I have to be honest: Bastien, Hadley, and I didn’t get much work done between 11 AM and 1:30 PM on Friday. That’s not to say that we weren’t busy, however.
Somebody help! The house is leaking hot air!! I’m going to need a bigger container…
Eclectic Chiropractic Rehab Because I am personally responsible for convincing my brother-in-law to pack up his family and his chiropractic clinic in Texas and move back to Michigan, I feel I owe it to him to help promote his business … Continue reading
Let me tell you about my new favorite book of the century. Got it off paperbackswap.com (imagine that!) and it is changing the way we survive around here. Things to Do With Toddlers and Twos by Karen Miller Okay, so … Continue reading
What started out as pretty much a disaster, has really shaped up to be about the best thing that’s happened around here lately. Whilst we were clearing out the basement to make way for Jim’s new photography studio, we were … Continue reading
Jim had a fun shoot this weekend with a beautiful baby. As his publicist, I’m just going to zip it now and let the pictures do the talking.
Perhaps this is a commentary on the simplicity (oafishness?) of men. Or, you could look at it like: I have been a work-at-home mom and out of the public’s scrutinizing eye for way too long already. Anyway, I got this … Continue reading
Here is Bastien at two years. Brave, endearing, mischievous, beautiful Bastien. Bastien, as part of our week-long celebration, we took a cruise on the Island Queen at Kensington. Your first boat ride. Boy, did you love it! Of all the … Continue reading
Here is Hadley at three months. Joyful, jabbering, sweet, happy Hadley.
We’ve joked around quite a bit about the naming of Jim’s photography business. As of now, he operates under JLB Creative. But to me, he’ll always be Jimbo’s Photos. Here are some recents from his shiny, new studio. Now booking … Continue reading
For our big boy, and our pretty little baby. The invitation: The fun:
A tribute to Moxie, in honor of her (belated) 6th birthday! Dear Moxie, You have put us through a lot of crap this year. Frankly, Jim is tired of breaking up your late night cavorting. Your shenanigans are mildly worse … Continue reading
Would you care for an update on our little running competition? “No-kay?” (as Bastien likes to say). Well, I’m going to update you anyway. Thanks for humoring me. To date, we (that’s myself, Jim, & my mom) have collectively run … Continue reading
Babies, babies, babies. Everyone’s having them. So, partnered with the last few weeks’ fall-ish feel, my needles started flying again. Here are a couple gifts I can check off my list. I don’t think either of the recipients read this … Continue reading
Just about exactly one year ago, Bastien said his first word: “woof”. And slowly over the months, new words trickled in. Then Bastien turned 23-months-old and suddenly, is there a single word he can’t say? I love that he will … Continue reading
When she was very little, my sister embarrassed my parents by remarking “That DAMN DOG” in front of good company. But truthfully, nothing sums up this evening better than those three words. As a result of running a 10k, coddling … Continue reading
“Mr. Sajak, I’d like to buy a more stylish set of parents, I must say.”
Our babies have been caught holding hands many times over the past several weeks. Everyone asks how Bastien is as a big brother and until about two hours before writing this post I was all ramped up with adjectives for … Continue reading
Kensington waterpark, running paths, hiking trails, boat rides, Farm Center, beaches, playgrounds Earl’s fresh produce, Thursday’s downtown organic farmer’s market Lakes, lakes and… more lakes Library programs (sometimes in the park!) And speaking of parks…. They are everywhere. This is … Continue reading
Who is this GIANT boy and what has he done with my little one?
People, we have hit the big time. By “we” I mean my Soul Stretch Christian Yoga business. By “big time” I mean we got some very good press this weekend. I am always thankful to God. But today, I am … Continue reading
