Sometimes I feel like my brain is constantly seeking potential SNL skits. My preteen son has joined me in this and sometimes when we are left alone, we come up with amusing scenarios. This occurred recently at a strip mall while my husband left to get a few items from a store, leaving me in the car with my son and toddler daughter. One of the shows I tease my son and sometimes my husband for watching is “Survivorman.”
Just ordered a box of organic produce from Door to Door Organics. I’m looking forward to see what is delivered. On their site, they have a handy storage guideline for produce:
“I’m bored, mom”
Boredom is a subject many moms are looking at these days as summer break approaches for our kids. It’s a dreaded, scary word that prompts mom to feel inadequate.
Adding more work from home
My hand has almost healed after surgery end of March after a fall. This has meant most significantly that I can type with both hands. I’ve never appreciated this as much as I do now! Right after the fall, I accepted new writing work and this past week, some more.

According to a feature on The Today Show, 50% of how happy we feel is based on genetics. We can control the other half. There is a level of hard-wiring in terms of how happy we feel, but we can work around it.
Honoring our 40th Earth Day
Today is Earth Day and it’s a great day to reflect on ways we can be more environmentally-conscious. Being conscious of my actions on the environment is a daily part of my life.
Talking deeply, being happier
It has been reported recently in the New York Times that those who talk deeply are happier. I’ve assumed this at some level and have always had a desire to engage deeply in conversations. Blogging about finding balance and meaning is my way of talking deeply (and not) to anyone willing to read my muses.
First signs of Spring
It’s been exciting seeing signs of Spring and being able to get started on the gardening season. I was hopeful when I saw a few new mint leaves and my bulbs start to peek out.
My suburban garden
Gardening has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been fascinated by things growing and nurturing them. It must have to do with having a nurturing quality that maybe all gardening enthusiasts share.
