I realize that writing about food and not picturing the food doesn't make much sense. I'm just trying to get tin the habit of writing every day and thought a post without a photo is better than no post at all. Now I guess I have to get used to taking pictures when cooking and of the result!

It never fails, my kids are happy when I make any kind of Mac & Cheese, if it is from scratch and oven baked, they border on bliss! After few minutes of rummaging in the refrigerator, I had put together enough cheese to make a fairly decadent casserole. Here's the recipe, tricks and all: 1 lb. Macaroni, elbows, shells, whatever your preference 1/4 cup butter 3 tablespoons all purpose flour 1 3/4

This morning: Banana~Blueberry~Walnut MuffinsServed straight from the oven with butter! One of the best reasons, besides coffee, for getting out of bead in the morning! Sorry the boys ate them before I could take a picture. Luckily they are a favorite around here, I promise to post a photo next time I make them! 3/4 cup toasted walnuts chopped 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder

I posted this before and think it bears retelling. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you

Went into Segundo's class to make sugar eggs, they loved it! I had so much fun, it was totally worth the effort. Only downer was forgetting my camera, so the pictures are limited. I hope the teacher's photos came out good, if so, I will post some of them after spring break. For now, I hope this one is enchantment enough!

PFCs, What are they?  Perfluorinated Compounds, simply they makematerials oil, stain and water resistant and are used in many everyday products.   PFCs don't degrade by any natural process, so once in the river, ground or body they are going to stay there.  So what is the harm? when PFCs are heated they  Manufacturers have aware of the dangers and health risks associated with of PFCs for decades

Irascibleadjective Etymology: Middle French, from Late Latin irascibilis, from Latin irasci to become angry, be angry, from iraDate: circa 1530 The Irascibles were a group of Artists protesting an Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum.Who are new Irascibles? I admit that there is plenty to be angry about but where should the anger be directed and to what good?

A Lovely twist of words, and I am in love with this simple yet at times complex wordplay - art form! Just a few more and then I will try and hold off until the next palindrome day, 11/02/2011. I guess it should be noted that you have to use the month/day/year format for this to work, I have yet to find it calculated for day/month/year format.  Sexes, Rats live on no evil star Otto did bob did

The fuchsia dye is starting to wear off the fingers, the results are great! the boyos had a blast! We did new whites as well as old favorites that were begining to look a bit worn. They like adding and enhancing preprinted designs.

A quick trip to the library, really we were just dropping off some books and dvds, the drop box was closed so we had to go in. Yay, more movies! I can't help myself, I have to see if a book is available. So, movies in hand, Segundo and I cut through the children's art and craft section., of course we Pause to look at some along the way, we pick out 2. Then head to the adult art and craft section,

After our weekend in vegas both, Primo and Segundo are talking Halloween Costumes, could it have been the crazy hat trying on session in a tacky souvenir shop, the bluemen, the show girls walking around or the Heat? After 3 days of 100+degree weather, my vote is the Heat, who cares! I love halloween and the fact that they both want to design and make costumes thrills me!(hats make a very good

We took a mini Vacation to Las Vegas, the kids had a blast. So much to see and do. We all love the strip at night. The Lights and Fountains, Fireworks on the 4th were Beautiful. Unfortunately, I didn't realize quick enough that the setting on my camera had been changed to macro, and most of my night pictures are a waste.

Every now and Again, I wish I was blogging about life in a way that made it seem like, The Real Wives, or Desperate House Wives, or that I am some old Cougar waiting to pounce. Writing steamy articles about the single guy next door, bitching about where my life has gone, the kids drive me crazy, is this all there is, has my life been reduced to that of a taxi driver? Believe me, I thought about

A Fun holiday Craft for the whole familyTraditional Panoramic Sugar Eggs and some not so Traditional interpretations. We just couldn't resist making a skull, the family has Halloween on the Brain! Sugar, Meringue powder, and water are all it takes, frost with royal icing. Use plastic eggs from art and craft store as molds.

I love this form just a little box to hide a treasure, used in Medieval times to hide items considered heretical. Tarot Cards, Biblical translations in everyday spoken languages, etc. This one is made with Japanese marble paper and holds a standard deck of cards.

I don't normally write about breakfast it is usually coffee for me - today I found, squirreled away, behind the tea boxes, a very lovely piece of fruitcake. I had hidden it so I would Not have to share it with the Cherubrats! Well it made my day and a truly lovely breakfast, steamed to perfection! No hard sauce but it was 9:00am :(!Mom always said eat your breakfast it is the meal of the day -

Is it possible that a pair of shoes can change your personality?I believe it is, awhile ago I lost my favorite red shoes and with them my spark, my certain "je ne sais quoi," or maybe even my soul. It might be easy to believe that any pair of red shoes will do, not true in the least.

There is no Joy like the in-law pre-Christmas visit! Running around like crazy, to prepare an early Christmas feast, planning holiday sight seeing, gearing the cherubrats up for the big day more than they already are. Actually, it is all worth it! The Joy they bring by far outweighs the stress!

This year being not so different than ones past, I spent a considerable amount of time in October preparing for Halloween and The Day of the Dead. There are costumes to be made, more importantly decisions what to be (or not to be), what colors and what fabrics should be used. In years past after the "FINAL" decision was made I shopped alone for all necessary costume components, not so anymore.

Not your everyday hobby, but my boys claim to have an amazing collection of tumbleweeds. They seem to be drawn to one of our window wells. Once this was noticed it quickly became a collection not to be messed with! It was quite disturbing when they noticed them crushed beneath the snow which is currently piled high about the top of the window well.

I love Halloween and making costumes - soon I fear Primo and Segundo will no longer appreciate my work. The "Costume Negotiations" have begun. Several trips to fabric stores to peruse the pattern books have not yielded any decisions, yet. Primo is leaning towards some type of warrior, while Segundo is most definitely undecided! Soon, I will purchasing and returning patterns until final decisions

The breezes are getting stronger, night time is cooler, the grasses on the hill are drying out quickly, revealing the tumblewees, only a few have been spotted rolling.

Somewhere along the way what was supposed to be planned wasn't. so we left on July 3rd with ourselves, directions to the hotel and a cooler. Knowing that we would figure Twin Falls and the surrounding area when we got there.

The exhibition Mapping Correspondence: Mail Art in the 21st Century is up for one more week, through Saturday, June 28, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it, now is the time to go. We’ve gotten some attention in the press, including: Artforum.comLast Wednesday, NPR’s program The Bryant Park Project featured Martha Wilson, one of the panelists from the June 13 panel discussion on the history

I finally completed my post cards Mapping Correspondence an exhibition of Mail Art, at the Center for Book Arts, in New York City. April 11 - June 28, 2008. Organized by Champe Smith - Curator & Artist. My work is loosely about studying for the Postal Exam and the crazy logic one needs to know in order to become an employee of the USPS. Sadly, I missed the exam and am not scheduled to take it

I have had a pomegranate on my desk for months - really. why are they so inspiring? Jewel like fruit in a lovely red shell, mysterious and seductive - bold and I was going to paint it when it was nice and ripe - now it is starting to dry out. I have been working on my postcards and not really accomplishing much. The pomegranate is calling to me - what will become of it?

Well I am a bit upset because this fine company or so I thought up until now, is discontinuing support of several of their best learning tools. The turbo twist hand held spelling and math games can be expanded to match school curriculum, with the use of a "mind station" to download new problems or spelling words, or to create your own set of exercises. My children love these learning toys that

Just what is a Tumble Weed? Salsola? Caught up on a barbed wire fence? A transportation method for small animals and bugs - that is what Primo and Segundo believe! The wonderfuk imaginations they have never ceases to amaze me! Fascinating, Inspiring? Yes, I find them utterly amusing and always get a spark of creativity from them. Sometimes even get lost in daydreams after seeing one roll along.

I came downstairs this morning to be greeted by Primo, sitting at the table reading, Kids Learn to Knit, a book that was given to him at his party yesterday. After we got slips knots tied it was no time before we had figured out casting on and the basic knit stitch. I can't believe the book was easy to follow. Primo showed me know it was done how is that for a beautiful mother's day present!

Well, another year has come and gone. It is time to celebrate all of the wonderful mothers out there. You are doing a great job! No one ever told you how difficult it would be or you wouldn't have done it. Congratulations, and enjoy your day! Now I am off to the tub for a long soak, with a latte and, "The Chocolate Cake Sutra" (and hopefully get the thought Chaos rules my World out of my Head)

Happy Birthday Primo! This was the easiest birthday party ever. I finally broke down and didn't go all out for a home party. I did a party at our athletic club. The kids loved it and All I had to do was provide the Cake. This year the request was simple - chocolate cake with blue frosting and blue sprinkles. I still find myself amazed at the childhood love of blue food!I don't have any friends,

On the way home from school Primo's first request was not the usual, what's for snack but, "Can I ride my Bike?"It is abundantly clear that he is an adrenaline rusher. It is pretty wild to watch the grace with which he flies around the cul-de-sac and over the curbs. I feel myself wincing anticipating the pain of a fall that never comes. Apparently the birthday gift is a hit and We are pleased

Somedays it just seems that the whole day is going to be one long anxiety attack and let me tell you today was one of those days! Usually I would chalk it up to being tired however this feels less concrete than lack of sleep and more rooted in the fact that my baby, Primo, is turning 7. Every year about a week before the big day I get hit with immobilizing anxiety. Not to mention no one seems to

Primo jumps up and heads off with Zeus. Once up in the studio we break out paints and glue and beads. I work on my liberty piece and Segundo paints and adds beads

Now not every day is filled with creativity and beautiful art projects, some are filled with just plain Boy energy. At the park today, Primo accepted a challenge from another boy to jump over the edge of a basket ball court to see how far he could make it down the hill. After watching a few of the others attempt this, some on bikes some on skateboards, Primo decides that he is all about catching

Well, Segundo Could not have been happier about not going to the academy today if he tried. His face was filled with sheer joy at the prospect of going to music class, a couple of errands, hangin' out in a cafe, and going home to the studio to paint. Segundo, "Let's have cocoa!"Mnemosyne, "That sounds like a good idea."I order our drinks and he chooses a table - there are only two the choice

Well, it seemed like an easy decision. Only now there is a sexual predator lurking at the bus stop just outside the door to the Olympia. None of the parents were notified, until I asked one of the more alert mortals if she knew anything about the "incident." She hadn't heard a thing. I guess it is revision time, again. I will be, quite possibly, working full time in order afford the tuition

I try to live my mission every day NURTURE CREATIVITY - I find myself repeating it now and again because it is easy to loose sight of it. Getting bogged down in the daily routine, laundry, dishes, driving to and from school, dinner, baths bed - seems to be the biggest drain on creativity, both for me and the muses!Try to do as many chores as possible like this put a load of laundry in the wash

Today is Segundo's first day at the academy. Zeus and I took him in because he refused to get out of the car with Primo. Once in the classroom he was happy to show us different activities, I kissed him goodbye and told him I would be back to get him in the afternoon. I have no clue what I will do with all my "time off" My to do list is so long I am not sure if I can fine the beginning of it

Well it is that time of year again, school registration. In a world where everything is constantly under the micro scope of scrutiny I find school the most important item in the petri dish. Do I keep Primo enrolled where he is or switch. I cast the net wide every year. Transfer applications at charter schools, unlikely since most use the lottery system. I have kept the director of our current

It is snowing here, so there will be no planting trees or herbs in our garden. The next best thing to do is a recycling project. A garden of pinwheels! constructed from Magazine covers, wine bottle corks, chops sticks and a push pin. It was fun to sit in the warmth of the studio and create a this virtual garden.

Saturday is always one of the hardest days to get going. After breakfast it is Run nonstop; begining with baseball practice, print flyers, deliver flyers for new listing, post signs, shopping (the usual suspects: bread, milk, eggs). Finally home for lunch. I am exhausted, the little muses are bursting with energy. The weather is finally nice again they eat quickly and are out onto the deck riding

It has been another one of "those" days, rushing everywhere, Segundo in protest mode, and snowing to boot! Rush in to be the mystery reader, which I love (bad choice - another parent read the same story while we were on vacation). Back out to do errands, we ended up at an art supply store killing time. Back to school to get Primo. Snack. Home. Home work. So Far so good, now for turbo spell and

What a way to start the day - sour milk on my granola. I guess I am just glad that I noticed before I had a spoonful in my mouth. Sadly I used the same milk in the scramble eggs I made for Primo and Segundo. No wonder they weren't hungry, but wanted more toast. It is going to be one of those days!

I was a bit nervous, being that I was the first parent to step into Primo's class as the "Art Parent." We are going to start a papier maché puppets. I thought it was a good place to start - it is a mixed level group (1-3 grade) - being that it is a very hands on project. Hopefully they will each get the head complete during this class, and over the next 2 classes we will paint, embellish and make

The mood swing roller coaster of early pregnancy is running at full tilt. However, I do find my self wondering what inspiration incarnate will be born next? Putti or Cherub are also nice options.

Children Need time to be creative without parental influence, just let your little ones enjjoy their time at the art table. DO NOT worry about the mess or keeping hands and clothes clean, comments about being neat go unheard or quash creativity. If you can't abide by a mess get out aprons, other cover ups, or designate specific clothes for messy activities. since I have a large collection of
