On the Big Screen

Published by on January 31, 2011 | 2 Responses

Last fall we bought a big computer monitor-style TV from our friend Sash – it’s hooked up to a computer, not cable or anything like that. But we can watch DVDs and Netflix on it, so it works well for family movie nights. Since we’re still in the depths of winter (*tiny sob*), we’ve been […]

Yes, It’s Still Winter

Published by on January 27, 2011 | Leave a response

These Maine winters can be, well, long. I mean, it’s only the end of January, and we’ll probably have snow at least through early April. Think about it. I’m already tired of the cold. The appeal has even worn thin for ElvenTiger, who loves snow. Every day lately, it’s been either very bitterly cold, or […]

There is within each of us, at the soul level, an enriching fountain of love.” – John O’Donohue Since quitting my day job a couple years ago and following my calling, I’ve […]

I thought it was time to share some images of what we’ve been up to so far this winter. Here goes! We’ve been partying with our friends. The boys won the New Year’s Eve competition, hands-down, with their hilarious skit. We’ve been playing lots and lots of games: board games, video games, card games, dice […]

Darkness and Poetry

Published by on January 20, 2011 | 4 Responses

Here’s a poem I wrote recently. I went back and forth on whether to post it, since it’s kind of dark. I fully realize the need for balance, and the value of darkness. But there’s already a whole “news and entertainment” industry set up to spread that message. Anyway, I decided to share the poem […]

Cake of the Month: January, part 2

Published by on January 17, 2011 | 1 Response

The second Cake of the Month for January, ElvenTiger’s birthday cake, was quite a success! I created my own recipe, after doing a bunch of research online and in cookbooks. My Mom, BlackLion, and ElvenTiger all helped out in various ways (and thanks to Jen-Mom for two of the pictures, below!). The recipe is called […]

A dear friend of mine recently posted this quote on her Facebook status: “It’s okay to not be okay.” – Robin Benwa. On the day I read it, it was something I really needed to hear. Since the Winter Solstice, I’ve been noticing lots of ups and downs in my day-to-day emotions and stress levels. […]

Cake of the Month: January, part 1

Published by on January 7, 2011 | 1 Response

My original plan for January’s Cake of the Month was to make ElvenTiger a special cake for her 12th birthday. She requested a layer cake with chocolate and caramel, and I’ve started doing some research. For the most part, I plan to create my own cake recipes, so I can share them on the blog […]
