M - 25

I skipped a few days, and had to rejigger my math. Feeling good at 25 days and counting. What a long month. Yesterday day was pretty rough. I slept until 8 a.m. and stayed in my PJs all day! My diet is suffering being home all day. I keep buying random snacks I normally would never buy. For example, I got these lemon creme sandwich cookies from Market Basket.
So today I got back on track both on the diet and exercise front. My bootcamp instructor does Facebook live workouts every morning at 6:30 a.m. and he makes them available to do anytime. So I did yesterday morning's workout during lunch today.

 I'm still trying to schedule the wallpaper person. We can't have her come by this week as the painters are there all week. Next week she is in Maine for a week long job. I am hoping she can come the week of April 13th  I got the UPS notice today that my Thibaut paper will arrive on Thursday! Happy Day! I also got a box of fabric samples from Rove Concepts. Hooray indeed.


We're in the middle of movie night watching Naked Gun 2 1/2. I'm throwing caution to the wind and hope the kids don't understand half of the sexual content in this classic! And the OJ Simpson appearance is pretty creepy.

 Good Night

W e enjoyed a truly lazy Saturday. I slept until 8:30 a.m. which is rare. Ozan sauntered downstairs at 11 a.m.  The kids enjoyed a morning of video games. I decided grocery shopping will happen tomorrow, so I made my list for the week.  I am keeping a mental checklist of all the renovation work happening over the next few weeks. The painters will continue painting next week and putting up the wall colors (so exciting!).  Have you seen my color palette? I wanted soft neutrals throughout the house, but after many trials and errors spending too much time and money on sample paint pints, I had to call the experts. I needed to end my endless struggle of finding the perfect gray and deciphering undertones of blue, purple or green. I hired a paint consultant and it was the best $125 I've ever spent. This woman got my vibe and reassured me that staying neutral and repeating some of the same colors in other rooms was OK. For example, I am using the same gray in both the kitchen and in a

To Homework, or Not to Homework. Is that the Question?

If Shakespeare were alive today, he may be having the last laugh watching neurotic parents debate about homework -- for elementary school that is. The conversations heard around the school yard goes something like, "What grade does homework start? Why isn't my kid getting homework" Are the other 2nd grade classes getting homework? I heard we were doing away with homework." My first bit of advice is, Relax. As a mom to a first and fourth grader, the amount of homework that journeyed through colorful cardboard folders, through rain, wind, snow and the occasional lost backpack, has been tame. And nobody lost any sleep over it. Recently the homework topic manifested at our parent back to school night when my son's 4th grade teacher explained her homework philosophy. For this year, regular homework will consist of a weekly reading log that goes home on Tuesday and returns completed the following Tuesday. Kids are required to read at least 30 minutes for a minimum

snacking my way through the streets of Turkey

When faced with the choice between a sit down lunch or the chance to roam freely around a foreign land and sample different "grab-n-go" fare, the choice is simple: go wander with cash in hand.  I'm a bona fide snacker with a passion for sampling small bites. Turkey is a snacker's paradise where you can find unique (even healthy) treats on the street and the beach. süt mısır When you hear a guy calling out "süt mısır " immediately head over to him and grab a bright yellow ear of corn. Translated literally as "milk corn," these corn are boiled then grilled and sold by street vendors or some guy on the beach. They tend to be a little thicker and mealier than the crisp butter and sugar corns grown in the states. I delight in these healthy snacks as they are a perfect pick me up from a day of shopping or sun bathing and provide a good boost of salt and carbs to recharge without the guilt. midye dolma For the seafood-loving street or beach ha
