What the Cats Do…

….when it’s too hot to sleep inside. Looks like the summer has arrived!

Smoothies Are Back!

Our broken blender was replaced today, hurrah! Smoothies are back! Smoothies are my favorite breakfast food. I’ve never been much for cereal and I only eat eggs occasionally, but my body says “yum!” to smoothie nearly every time. Many thanks to ElvenTiger and Quester for the gift of a new blender! It was my Mother’s […]

Ah, Peaceful Saturday

Quester makes yummy veggie pizza. And it’s even better when eaten while listening to A Prairie Home Companion. And even better than that when followed by his delicious chocolate chip cookies. Perhaps there will even be Skip-Bo, once ElvenTiger returns from her bike ride. My day of relaxation has been great. Of course, as a […]

Nurturing Community

I’ve had a busier-than-normal week, and it’s mostly involved socializing. Or another way of looking at it is nurturing the community. I’m blessed with a very diverse group of friends and acquaintances. Quite a few are unschoolers and Pagans (or, in some cases, both), some are friends I’ve had for a long time, others are […]

Nurturing and Practice

This week I got the same Tarot card two days in a row, which is usually a signal to pay extra attention. It was the 3 of discs, which in the Voyager deck I’m using currently is the 3 of worlds – nurturing. This deck often branches out from traditional Tarot definitions, and has its […]

Feeding the Hordes

I just finished the dinner dishes, wiped the counters, and then got out the ingredients to make a couple of snacks. Nope, I’m not hungry…but you can bet my teen son and preteen daughter will be, given a couple of minutes! So I put together some guacamole and an herb dip to toss to the […]

Day in the Life of Starcat

Rather unoriginal, I know, but I haven’t been all that inspired with other topics. I got up early (for me) and got ready for the day. That includes doing daily practice, which for today was journal writing, Tarot card draw, sit-ups, and dream sharing. Most days I also meditate, but there wasn’t time this morning. […]

Feelin’ Sorta Bleah

We’re in the midst of a long, long stretch of rain, drizzly weather here in New England. A lot of folks are talking about feeling dreary, too. Well, this week I’ve really felt it. Of course, I think hormones are involved, too (yeah, I know, probably TMI!). But anyway, I’ve been feeling pretty low-energy and […]

Epic Fantasy for a Rainy Week

We’ve had a lot of rain this week, so I’ve had some extra reading time, which I just adore. I’m currently reading book three of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, and I’ve added it to the list of my all-time favorite epic fantasy series. Which made me think, hey, have I […]

Cake of the Month: May

We wanted to use my new stand mixer, so ElvenTiger and I offered to make dessert for Monday night. Every Monday (well, most every Monday) we go over to my parents’ house for dinner and dessert, and then watch Dancing with the Stars together (or a movie, if the show’s not on). It’s a lot […]
