What do you use to keep yourself growing? A friend of my husband sees a life coach to keep him on track. He wishes to clearly see his goals and the reasons for them. I'm not yet ready to commit to having someone hound me, but I've found one little tool that I've been using lately on the simplemom blog. I love the way she has you prioritize your top three goals for the day. I may not get the top three achieved on the day that I write them down, but I have been going back to them and making certain that they are accomplished within the week.
One of the munchkins was reading through my blog the other day and called my attention to unrealized projects. Munchkin made a list of them and smugly suggested that I finish everything I'd written about before starting any new projects. It was then proudly posted in my studio, where it could haunt me.
Of special interest to the little people in my house was the continuation of the story illustrations for Sunshine and Golden. I'm seeing an ulterior motive (later bedtimes due to new stories). Do you have growing little helpers in your house too?
The template I made for you still has not shown up on Publisher's website, but I'm in communication with Microsoft's support staff to find out how to make it work. I'll keep you in the loop.
A friend of mine from art school, John Parish started a blog recently. He posted some sketches he's using as a basis for his oil paintings. He's a teacher, and hopes to complete some of them during the summer break. I'm looking forward to "summer vacation" for the same reason.
Birthday season will continue around Deer Haven until the end of June, but the "Best Birthday Contest" has a winner! Two of Rosemoor's Readers will get a Deer Haven pillowcase!
Patty enchanted me with the thought of flying to Paris or even staying home and enjoying a good book, chocolate, and berries.
Sara shared a trip she'd already had with her dh on a past dream birthday. It reminded me of one I'd been spoiled with. My dh flew me up to the Space Needle Restaurant in Seattle for one evening. We were back home before the babysitter had to go to bed.
I have two fun sites for you to visit! One is the Furniture Fair in Milan that is taking place this week. I ran across it while trying to decide what to do with a space in my basement. I recalled loving looking through the Fair last year and really finding some unique things. Here's one that I
liked from this year. It's produced by Magis, designed by Javier Mariscal. I have to say that I am always enchanted by good furniture that is made for children. I like things that are miniature and magically playful, so this fits the bill for me.
The second site I have for you is the (Semi) Affordable Art Fair in NYC. (I'm not vouching for all of the "art" represented, but there are certain pieces I do like.) I don't live close enough, but some of the artists are represented by UGallery online. You can choose the "Under $100" catagory if you are needing just a little something and are not in NYC this week.
The littlest munchkin watched delightedly out the window while dressing this morning. The white flakes drifted down to coat the already glistening ground. "It's a real Christmas, isn't it mama?" Where did the idea come from that it has to snow to be Christmas? Probably from the Bing Crosby cd humming through the house...
