Just dropped my kid off at summer camp knowing that he has a runny nose and a cough, just because it’s a field trip day. Hope this doesn’t come back to bite me in a little while.

Two Years of Krav Maga
Sometimes it feels like, instead of a nine-color spectrum of belt colors, there’s really only four belts in Krav: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and black belt.
Next stop: black belt.
Status: Upcycling
Hey, @sea_lemon! I was inspired by your Junior Mints notebook tutorial to make a cover from an old print-on-demand photo calendar I was saving. I didn’t know exactly what I’d do with my calendar photos, but it seemed a waste to pitch perfectly good prints. Now they have purpose!
Early to Rise
I seem to have become one of those people: the ones who wake up with only a hungry cat as an alarm, who (after feeding said cat) will go outside to cut fresh flowers to enjoy indoors.
Birthday Terrarium
My college roomie, Amy, sent me this classy terrarium from Gifted Glass Gardens for my birthday! It’s minimalist and exquisite at the same time, with black sand, preserved moss, Cholla wood, two air plants, a geode, and a chunk of pyrite.
Of course, all of the pieces came shipped in their own sealed bags or containers — thankfully, the terrarium came with assembly instructions and photos. It also came with care instructions for air plants, which I was also glad to see, as I didn’t realize air plants needed to be soaked in water weekly. That would explain why the one I had back in 2012 was so short-lived.
Thanks, Amy! You know me well. 🙂
