Some Pics From Our Trip to Spain

January 30, 2017 By Jodi

And we're back! We had such a lovely time in Spain, and now it feels great to be home again. Spain was just what we needed: a break from the dark winter. We got so much sunshine and warmth (except in Granada), and I felt an infusion of energy. I got so much exercise walking everywhere...

Getting Ready for Spain

January 11, 2017 By Jodi

We're off to Spain tomorrow morning! We're staying in a small town on the Mediterranean called Nerja, where we've rented an apartment for the two weeks we'll be there. We're looking forward to sunlight (!), warm afternoons spent at playgrounds, and yummy fresh food (and, of course, cava).

What Is "Enough" In the Middle of Winter?

January 3, 2017 By Jodi

Happy New Year! How's 2017 going for you so far? We've been having a lovely time; the kids are off school, so yesterday we went on a train adventure to the Natural History Museum (Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet), and today James and I are trying to get a couple hours of work in while the kids play at a...

What Have You Been Thinking About Lately?

Lavender at sunset in Devon, England

I don't need to mention how long it's been since I posted or how badly I feel about that—I'm sure those things are obvious. I've had lots of ideas for posts and zero time to write them out: we were in England for a week, visiting family; two days after we returned, we hosted family...

"Why Am I Still Thinking About This Day?"

October 13, 2016 By Jodi Leave a Comment

Looking down at a street scene from above

I listened to a podcast last week that I've been thinking about ever since. It was an episode of Magic Lessons (Season 1, Episode 10) in which Elizabeth Gilbert talks to the humorist John Hodgman about creativity and trying new things. Hodgman explains that at a friend's prompting, he scheduled a series of weekly shows at a small theater in Brooklyn....

On Growing Carrots and Children

August 18, 2016 By Jodi Leave a Comment

scrawny carrots picked by a toddler

This is the first year that I've had my own garden. We have enough space on our deck to put in a couple large planter boxes, so I lugged a couple home and filled them with dirt. I wanted to show the kids (and learn for myself) how rewarding it is to grow your own food. I also...

Are You a Radical Mother?

September 22, 2016 By Jodi 1 Comment

Jodi-radical-mother-campaign

While being a mother is generally a wonderful thing (minus the sleeplessness, the poop, the tantrums, the food on the floor/walls/ceiling/radiator), sometimes being a mother-among-mothers can be a rough experience. Something about parenting, particularly in the US, frequently leads to too much comparison and competition, and often what results is an increasing sense of isolation. Experts--and even pediatricians...
