Under Quarantine

I think I need a large BIOHAZARD sign for my front door. Between the evil pestilence of a stomach virus that just won't quit, a freak injury that has the eldest child hobbling around in a walking cast, and the crushing pressure of auditions and AP tests, I feel like we are under siege.

At times like this, it's important to keep things in perspective. I put on the following video the other day when I was trying to remind myself that, indeed, this too shall pass, and it's become the two-year-old's Favorite Thing In The Universe. How can marbles rolling down a wooden train track fail to make you smile? I think we've been watching this at least twenty times a day.



Meanwhile, I was over at SortaCrunchy today, whipping up a simple, thoughtful gift. Head on over to see more.

Ready to go

  5. I love the peaceful quality of your stone photo. I am a mom of a soon to be 15 year old and the stress of decided on which highschool to choose and IB versus AP. It decisions just seem to become more and more important. I think I may need a bag of my own stones.
