the last morning with these two boys, in my tiny studio apartment on the Hudson River, I told them they could only watch a movie if they made my bed. “we don’t know how to make a bed!” figure it out, I told them. and you need to do it together, with no fighting. it […]

that time we packed everything we owned in my car, and got the hell out of new york.
(otherwise known as The Day We Became Minimalists Without Even Trying) 2013-14 will be the Years of Change. I’ve moved three times in less than twelve months. from a fourth floor apartment in a building filled with dying old people (literally, dying. when we moved out we were one of only three apartments with […]
seriously.
Renting often means ugh, seriously? and in this case, it was a lot of. well, “OK let me just go ahead and clean that mysterious weird splattering on the wall because apparently you were in too big of a hurry moving two floors up (and now you have to see me EVERY DAY) to […]
clean that kitchen! (and other fun things to do while we wait for spring….)
it seems like it will never get here. I hear the birds outside my window in the morning. some days the sun is even shining. the mountains of snow are slowly becoming just piles of gray icy mass. yesterday it went up to 52 degrees here in the Hudson River Valley. but still, no spring. […]
using oils; where to start?
I recently received my second package of doTERRA essential oils in the mail, and after opening them all, inhaling them all….I wondered, now what? it can be overwhelming, this new approach to health. do I drop them in my mouth? do I sniff them? sprinkle them around the room? where’s the instruction manual? so I […]

facing the cold with photography and chocolate cake.
We’ve been lucky so far this year in Ohio with the weather, but this week we got hit with some f-f-f-freezing cold. So, what’s a good Cleveland girl to do? Go to the beach, of course. I wasn’t going to pass up the sunny day, even though it was only 14 degrees out, to […]
starting a new plan.
We started a new diet around here this week, and a big part of it is giving up sugar. If you’ve ever done this, then you know it is not easy. Another aspect of the new plan is no grains, no dairy. This part; not so tough. Except I do like a little bread with my […]
Is it over yet?
I have been absent, my friends, for a few months. A few days after my previous post, I was having a beautiful lunch with my sister on an unusually warm “Indian Summer” day…stepped out of the restaurant on an uneven step, twisted my right ankle and heard an awful pop. “Acute avulsion fracture involving the […]
