A new week begins

Today has been a slow and yet interesting day. Abi woke me up by coming into our room and saying "I'm all done with sleeping now". Sounds great to me! This is a definite change from the usual, crying with no words of explanation.

We got up, breakfast was had and the coffee was made. We worked on some letters, worked on our spanish (courtesy of La Casa de Mickey), and now she is down for a nap. Abi and I actually worked side by side at the kitchen table, she on her letters and mommy on the menu for the week. This a very loose menu for the week, sometimes I'm successful and other days not so much. I'm trying to be more consistent, but also allowing some wiggle room for when life and my taste buds have other plans.

In planning for this week, I've sought out a few different resources: pillsbury.com, our co-ops magazine, the freezer and The Gorgeously Green Diet: How to Live Lean and Green! This book is awesome, to the point where I think our mail man may be bringing me a slightly used copy for my very own. I picked up the copy I'm perusing over at the library and can we say AWESOME?! I've spent a good bit of my table time reading, and realizing some new ideas to add to our spectrum of green. What I love best about it is that the author, Sophie Uliano, understands that there are different ways and also different circumstances that affect our green. Even better, SHE ACTUALLY WRITES THE BOOK WITH THAT IN MIND!

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! (Okay, forgive me, I've always wanted to say that.)
