As always, great stuff to share:
- I am a great believer that I am raising my children to be adults not to be children. I am protective, I support them 100% and love them to bits which is why I let them make mistakes, suffer consequences of bad decisions and do my best to keep out of their business and trust that I am raising them well. We're learning plenty from each other! I'm always looking for parenting input from "survivors" and found some, what I think is good advice, here and here.
- I'm big into housekeeping right now! Prepping for our visitors in December :) I love finding ways to make housework easier, especially things like folding fitted sheets and effectively cleaning the kitchen.
- I'm a bit of a font freak and love finding this kind of thing.
- Pears, hazelnuts, brown butter and vanilla. Divine.
- I love classic design. I'm looking for elements for my December Daily album. To the rescue? My wonderful and generous friend Brenda who shared this entry. I may get a hang of this digi stuff yet!
- Growing up our fridge was covered in notes. I miss having a central area for communication. For the last few years I have had an aluminum fridge so no notes. For a while we had a steel front door so that was used to post notes. Now we have a big thick wood door, gorgeous, but not great for notes. Then I found this little idea. Brilliant! Definitely on the "to make" list.
- I found this article fascinating, such a different perspective from my own. I come from the assumption that people do not remember me, it would never occur to me to be hurt that someone didn't remember my name or my kids or anything, after all, it is my assumed norm. I love perspectives that differ from my own. I can always learn something new.
- I am a huge, HUGE fan of Dr. Brené Brown (who would, no doubt, if given the chance, have plenty to say about the truth of my entry above). Check out the interview of her conducted by the lovely Susannah Conway.
- A writer - artist, photographer, creative type - always needs a good kick in the pants.
- Do you ever wonder if there are other bloggers who live by you?
- I must have been hungry when I put this post together. Another recipe: pears, chocolate, vanilla bean. Sounds perfect :)
