It’s Official! I Am a Certified Reiki Level II Practitioner & Link Up On the Edge #314
I had the most extraordinary weekend two weeks ago and I have been so excited to share it with you all. But then I caught the Back-to-School Crud and skipped my post last Friday altogether, pushing this one out another week. I did allude to it earlier this week though. You may have caught the Reiki reference in my crud poem… “...I used yoga and Reiki And resorted to prayer. No matter what I did The crud still made its way here..." It was a very intentional reference and I did use this cruddy sickness as an opportunity to practice my newly learned Reiki healing techniques on myself. While my…

The Back-to-School Crud & My Final Summer Outfit
Happy Hump Day, or in my case, Happy Crud Day! Actually, there isn’t all that much happy about the current crud that is circulating through the germ factories that we call schools. It started last week with Ralph and he missed three consecutive days of school. Then it caught up to me and I haven’t really left the comfort of my couch in five days. And now it got Archie so he has been home for two days, coughing and aching and sleeping. I have managed to do only the bare minimum like cooking and laundry and getting whichever kid is healthy off to school in the mornings. I even…

The Thrifty Six are Inspired by Travel
For this month’s Thrifty Six challenge, Jane chose a fun theme to bring the summer season to a close…Outfits Inspired by Travel. We went traveling on lots of little weekend trips this summer, kicking off the season with a weekend of Festival Camping at Smoked Country Jam in June, followed by a weekend trip at the end of July that included a day in Burlington, Vermont, followed by a day in Lake Placid, New York, where we visited the John Brown Farm and Olympic Stadium. Our final summer trip was a weekend in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in mid-August to deliver a graduation gift and have brunch with my sister. For the…

My First Day of School Outfit & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #292
Last Thursday, I shared my Essential Back-to-School Checklist featuring some first day of school of photos of my boys with me and Jeff and my in-laws. So I figured today was a good day to share the details of what I wore for my kids’ first day of school. The temperatures are beginning to cool off here in the North Country and it is really beginning to feel like fall. The mornings and evenings are getting brisk and I find myself reaching for extra layers that I can shed throughout the afternoon as it gets warmer. I was actually a little cold in this outfit in the morning and wished…
