Project 333: Summer 2014 Halfway Point
Missed my first venture into Project 333? It’s here. Read about my Summer 2014 picks here. Halfway through another Project 333 wardrobe, and I’m still loving it and learning so much! A few things I’m discovering I’ve pretty much lost the desire to shop. Crazy, right? I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a shopaholic by… Read More Project 333: Summer 2014 Halfway Point
CSA Box: August 25
Read more about why I love CSA and locally–grown fruits and veggies here. Three years into our switch to CSA boxes, I still get giddy over what’s inside! Lately, I’ve been thinking about how the box items don’t vary too much week to week. We’ve had a few changes, such as peaches one week but… Read More CSA Box: August 25

Make Your Own Cloth Napkins
I suppose I should preface this post with a disclaimer: I can’t really sew. I mean, I can sew but not very well. For some people, sewing is a welcome escape and an opportunity for creative expression. For me, sewing is a time for weeping and gnashing of teeth. My biggest success has been cloth… Read More Make Your Own Cloth Napkins
Back-to-School Attitude Adjustment
Tomorrow is the big day. August 6th. Teachers’ first day back. And I’ll be there, of course. I’m sure I’ll get there early, pencils sharpened, new notebook in hand, professional development schedule printed and highlighted and tucked in a fresh folder. I’ll be happy to see my colleagues again and share stories of our summer… Read More Back-to-School Attitude Adjustment
CSA Box: August 4
A few years ago, my husband and I read Michael Pollan’s book Food Rules and watched the documentary Food, Inc. I’d been eating pretty healthily for a while, but I was spending a fortune on organic everything, and I was having trouble reconciling purchasing something organic with the fact that it had been flown 4,000 miles… Read More CSA Box: August 4
