Happy New Year.

a few things...

I am always scrambling at the last minute for podcasts to listen to on our long car rides. This list will not be on the ready.

And this recipe...although I will switch out the dressing for Tessamae's Lemon Garlic, (have you tried? Probably the most asked about dressing I have ever served!)

I thought this article was important regarding preschool. I have always been a firm believer in project based learning and agree that most learning comes from these experiences.

I want to an excuse to wear this. Maybe if I go here. But I also could see myself doing this for a couple of days. (And that outfit wouldn't really work here.)

Are you watching anything that you would like to share...here are few that have been added to our queue....

And although I am promising myself not to buy another book this year until I have read what I have...this list may come in handy in case I want to check one out of the library.

New York Public Library's Most Popular Check Outs of 2016

A documentary every American should watch.

And Aleppo. Before + After. Trying to remember to go back and read & learn about what was bombed. Make it real.

And for my local friends...love that she is offering these classes for your athletes in your family.

p.s. In 2016, I was looking for a personal project to take on that would push me out of my comfort zone. I also wanted it to include documenting my family as I had done for three years back in 2009 with my one photo, one day blog. The solution was video. 1 second everyday. For one year. I started off strong, but also forgave myself on days that I missed or threw in a still shot from the day. Here is a link to the full results below (but not to bore you...it is a little over 5 minutes long...and I don't want to be responsible for taking that precious time away from you with my home movies....that are VERY amateur.) The app is called 1SE, if you are interested. User friendly and I am so happy I did it...but Dan Socie....please help...you make it look so easy!
