Back to School Book Week + Friday Photo Love

Since today’s theme for Back to School Book Week is an “anything goes” kind of theme, and since the book I chose to talk about is photography-related, I thought it would be handy to just combine the two related topics into one post. So here are my favorite flickr photos for the week: You can [...]

Back to School Book Week: Fiction Books

How many of you remember when I was digging around looking for podcasts to listen to, and completely forgot the fact the my own husband has a podcast that I never listened to?  Ok, well you can file this post in that category, too. I was discussing Book Week with Neil, wondering what I was [...]

Back to School Book Week: Non-Fiction Books

I can’t really pick a favorite non-fiction book for Back to School Book Week today.  Last year I got hooked on the memoir thing that’s been going around – you know, the “my year of doing something really interesting/noble/crazy and then writing about it” genre?  And, well, I’ve been plowing through those books so quickly [...]

Catch up and slow down

I stole a few moments today to catch up with a handful of my favorite blogs. And then I immediately put down the computer, ditched my dingy shorts for a handmade skirt, grabbed my camera, and dragged the children outside, because it seemed like we could do some living out there instead of the mere [...]
