Did you know?

I’ve moved.

No, not the blog again!  This is a literal move, from one home in Podunk to another.  This Autumn, we moved, and I’m finally feeling settled now that the holidays are over and things have quieted down.  I know–I never mentioned a word, did I?  Long story, not to be gone into today.

Let the decorating begin

Each year, my kids start talking about Halloween in July.    I, on the other hand, refuse to entertain discussion of All Hallow’s Eve until the first of October.

In one of my recent CSA shares, I got a very lovely squash.  For the short term, I had put it on the table in the front hall, next to a small pumpkin. I needed time to figure out how I was going to serve it and have the kids actually eat it.

I am actually organizing my house.

For real this time.

The hub was away for a week, so I kept very odd hours, and did chores at various times throughout the day and night, allowing me to get the other stuff done too. 

Give me Liberty, or give me…a nap

A year or so I wrote up a review of a full-spectrum lamp.    Seeing as it’s the end of September already, I thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce the topic of the winter blahs… hey, someone had to broach the topic, right?

The Verilux Happylight Liberty Energy Lamp is a great price and its size is perfect.  Plus, you can adjust the angle of the unit, it’s easily mounted on the wall, or can be used  on the desk- or countertop.  The original one I had test driven last year,  The Deluxe , offered 10,000 lux.

Not too long ago, I headed down to Long Island, NY for a very special baby shower.  My sister’s daughter is expecting…twins!  These are her first children, but if she’s anything like the rest of us women in the family, all she has to do is trust her gut, check with her mom,  and she will be just fine!  She has tons of family in the area, too, so that will be a huge help.
