New Media




Today I had a rare library date by myself. I had a doctor's appointment and on the way home I stopped to drop off my last inter-library-loan book, plus Stefan's policing books. I had an item waiting for me in the Holds, so why not stop by? I recently came across this lovely lady on the radio months ago, but never found out her name. Her second single, "Realize", I heard on the radio about a week ago and I knew it was the same girl. I found out who she was via iTunes, and of course, once I found out the library carried it, quickly put it on hold for myself. LOVE the library! Colbie Caillat is her name, (her dad worked with Fleetwood Mac) and she is a very easy-listening singer/songwriter. She is sorta a mix between Jewel and maybe Sheryl Crow? (in looks, anyway!) I have noticed that over the past 4-5 years, all I want to listen to is soothing music. I started just slightly liking jazz and blues, to pretty much the only people in my car's cd player are John Mayer or Harry Conick, Jr. (plus, I will never forget my dear Ani D.). She fits this mold very well, I think she may be a keeper.

Also, saw this book (this is their blog!) in the "New Release" section at our library, and with my current obsession, couldn't put it down. It has been added to the list.

Update: Doctor's Visit was to confirm normal blood count (for my celiac). I was so happy to talk to my doctor ( I LOVE HER!) for 1/2 hour today and she told me that the reason I haven't been sick with gluten issues since pregnacy and now nursing is because the body sometimes "forgives" people of their chronic issues during preg./nursing! How awesome! I need a normal count (13-15) to be considered "normal" (at my lowest count/most anemic, I was just above 8...at 8 or lower one needs a blood transfusion), then I can apply to a health insurance company that Stefan and I have been checking out. It would be the same deductible, but over 50% cheaper for monthly premiums...INCLUDING pregnancy! We'll see how it turns out. As for me waiting? I'm gonna' go make myself some cream cheese toast!

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...

A portrait of his sister. From Soulemama's blog : A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
