MIA

As my dedicated blog followers have noticed (i.e., my family), I've been a little slow on the posts lately because Derek is on vacation. We went out on a date on Thursday night and then had Lab Day on the Cape yesterday (which left all of us exhausted today - everyone slept in until 8am!). No rest for the wicked, though, because we have to menu plan, grocery shop, organize, pack, and figure out what we're going to do on vacation next week! Thankfully I'm (compulsively) organized, which has made this process a bit less painful. Last year when we went to Maine I saved my packing list and meal planning notes in Evernote. EN is a lifesaver at work, but this is one of the ways that I have also found it to be immensely helpful at home! I just pulled my lists up from last year and made some minor tweaks today while the kids napped, and then I was ready to start packing!


I've been off work since Thursday and I immediately shut all of the notifications, banners, and crap off my phone so that I'm not thinking about e-mails 24/7. It's been such a great change that I think I'm going to leave  the settings this way when I come home! The house we're renting doesn't have any wireless, so outside of posting a few pictures to Facebook from my phone while we're away, I'll be catching up on all of my blogging when we're back home later this week.

Until then,
MUAH!!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
