Back to School

This photo marked the beginning of their summer. I can't believe it's already over. I thought I would be relieved because I was running out of ideas to keep them occupied! All the school
supplies have been bought and I dropped them off this morning and instead of relief I am anxious for them. My little first grader just got right back in the groove. My new sixth grader is a bit nervous and rightly so. The school is bigger. He has classes in different buildings. I know he'll find his way but of course I'm a mommy and my heart aches! Soon enough this will be in the past and he will be a pro. For all you Mommies and Dads (of course,) just know you are not alone. We'll get through this one day at a time!

Dearest Jane...

One of my prints was included in this lovely treasury on Etsy. Take a look!

Something New: Barney's Version

I always stumble upon these little gems by chance. I saw a preview for the movie "Barney's Version" a few times and thought it was going to be a comedy of sorts. I went to visit my sister and talked her into watching it. What followed was a
story of a man's life that was hilarious, complicated, dramatic and sad at times. Things aren't always what they seem with this character played by Paul Giametti who was phenomenal and who I hope will get an Oscar award for this role. You can see the preview here:

Fell off the grid - took a detour to paradise!

Sorry I've been gone for a couple weeks.

First there were the graduations from Kindergarten and Fifth grade that left me wondering where all the time went???

Then our vacation to Jamaica crept up and before I knew it we were off and away!

We had the most amazing time with family and friends and of course exploring Paradise.

Our last two days were spent at a resort called Frenchman's Cove. www.frenchmanscove.com.

You just can't ask for more than this. I'll let the photos do the talking.

This Week's Something New

I think this is an ongoing theme for me. Whether its a bookstore, restaurant or book (the sky's the limit), there is always a little discovery I come across that I want to share with you. I've decided to call it This Week's Something New. And that just happens to be a cool little movie I watched this weekend called "From Prada to Nada." Now it may sound a bit cheesy, but I was determined to watch a movie and when I saw the shorts I thought "Ok, I'll bite."

This turned out to be a funny, delightful, touching movie. It crosses cultural barriers and it will take you by surprise. It also happens to be a modern Mexican take on Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, which I discovered when I was watching it. I quickly went to IMBD and realized that I was right. Take a look at the trailer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvY6WPO5DMc. If you watch it I would love to hear what you think.
