Call me crazy if you must.

philosophically speaking…
I just read a blog post here called, “Ever Feel Like Giving Up?” The title caught my eye.
I’m not sure how many times I’ve sat at my desk and thought this. When I get stuck (aka when I think I should be able to wrap my head around something that I just can’t), I think it.
Lost and Found
Please tell me I’m not the only parent in the world having to ask every day where their child’s glasses are. What makes it more fun is having two houses to spread the possibilities between, along with school. Eventually, the glasses were found, but only after several phone calls asking if they’d been found yet, [...]
Iswithi Pinotage
I have found the most amazing wine. It’s not the slightest bit spicey, which I think is amazing for a red wine. It’s smooth like a rose, but it is full-bodied like a red.

The Economic Fair
My daughter had an “economic fair” at school today. It was part of the social studies segment in which they study… economics.
Earlier this week, TLK and her friend got together and made valentine chocolate lollipops. I’ve never seen candy made before, so it was interesting to watch (and really easy).
Today, they set up booths and [...]
