I first saw my creative space on sara’s blog for 5 o’clock crows. What a great idea to get a small peek into someone’s craft. I’m creating tags for someone’s baby shower. I’ve made so many tags with this little elephant that I should get tired of seeing him (and yes, he is a him.)…… Continue Reading

Gift of Enthusiasm
I’m blogging late today after running errands again for my dad & mom. My dad got the green light to drive himself on short trips from the cardiologist this morning. So yay! A bit of freedom for both of us. In looking for inspiration, I came across the We Scout Wednesday post from ScoutieGirl’s Tara…… Continue Reading
Analytics for Everyone
How often do you analyze your numbers? I look at my numbers with no regularity because I don’t know how to analyze them. I can stare at them pretty well, but I don’t think winning a staring contest with my analytics is going to help my business. When I took the SATs and later the…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Dutiful Daughter
I’m weary. To the bone. Which makes me grumpy. And it’s starting to affect everything around me. I’ve been taking care of two homes: my own and my parents’. I clean and shop and run errands for both. And it’s taking a toll. I’m really not complaining – it’s more like wishing for time I…… Continue Reading
Grilling is Good
Seems like it’s going to be a very manly week here on the old blog. Bear with me though, this is good stuff. During the celebration of the 4th of July, we were able to enjoy much grilled food at a couple different venues. One of these places is a unique reserve plopped in the…… Continue Reading

Sasha lives in Tel Aviv with her family and dog, Troy, and has agreed to post on…… Continue Reading
Golf is Good
Something you may not know about me is that I love to play golf. I don’t get to do it that often, but recently, my husband and I had a golf date for 9 holes. It was a beautiful day and we were able to golf as a twosome (often the Starter will pair up…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Banana Bread
Many of the blogs I read usually have beautiful photos of stylized objects. I try to make this blog as pretty as possible without compromising reality. This photo ain’t pretty, but the action behind it was. My husband was home with our 4yo and it was that time of day for whining and possible melt-downs.…… Continue Reading
The Meetup :: July 2010
What a month it has been! If you only stop by here once a month, I will fill you in. My 79-year-old dad had a heart attack and then a triple bypass. He is home now and healing well, but I am still his main errand-runner, laundry washer and general worker bee. I’ve been care-taking…… Continue Reading
Summer Schedule
Recently, my husband and I had what you might call a heated discussion about my work schedule. I tend to work whenever I perceive a free moment at home. And I work every single day. I never thought of it as a problem. But I must admit, when I gave it some thought from my…… Continue Reading
