School. Little man is no longer little and by next year he'll be in Kinder. We went to visit a Waldorf school today and my heart sank in the beauty and wonder of it all...I hope we get in, I am really praying we will. It's unfortunate how expensive this school is, but they offer financial help and tuition waivers. There is nothing better than knowing that my son is in a quality environment and this place, this philosophy, may just be it.

This Christmas break, I've been spending the majority of my time with my dear little man. And I have to admit, it has been rather tough. I was a stay-at-home mama for 4 years and now that my life is spent with my head and hands in books via Grad studies, I've had quite a hard transition coming back to spending lovely and intense hours with him.

I was rather moved by this lovely Mama and have decided to document 30 days of my life, with and without my little man. Today is day 1.

Books are often his favorite since we own no Tele and I do miss reading to him. Well, we did just that while waiting for our Boulder bus. I hope he keeps his eyes, hands, and heart surrounded by books for the rest of his childhood. Curious George is often read with laughter and big "Oh no's!!!" May we all remain a bit curious in our lives and welcome to my 30 days...

Universal Letter Writing Week...

In case you didn't know, I am very much a huge advocate of letter writing. I remember when I was a girl being reminded to write ThankYou notes to relatives and friends. And letters, gosh, I would write long letters to friends. When I was in the 7th grade, maybe 6th, I had my first penpal. She was from Mexico and I was devastated when she stopped writing to me. There was a huge earthquake in Mexico City around that time and I was always worried that maybe she died. I would lose sleep just thinking about her. I still think about her and still have that letter.

There is nothing like receiving a handwritten letter and many letters that I have read are often so personal in nature, I feel as if I'm reading a beautiful book. I have a Letter swap on SwapBot and have recently changed the dates for more to sign up. So tell your friends and sit down with some tea or coffee and write a letter to someone who is dear to you today.

Happy Lettering!

Finally, I made a knitting bag...it came out pretty nice. What do you think? You could use if for whatever else too, but I'm a knitter and hooker and a girl needs a bag just for that reason.

It's a New Year, folks...

And I'm wondering if I came up with any resolutions this year...hmmmmm. Well, I guess one of them is just to be more organized and that's not very exciting, but at the same time, it provides me with a little incentive to be just that, organized. Not to say that my life is completely chaotic, but when I get busy, yes, things start to look like a tornado and a hurricane have blown through.

Guess what internets, I'm back to eating MEAT. You heard me, MEAT. And it's not just any ol' meat..it's the no hormones, free range kinda stuff. And oh my goodness, I think my body is proudly rejoicing. So, slowly and surely my weeks are incorporating eating meat, but not daily.

Yay for meat! I can't believe I just said that...
