… fun on the air with Stan and Faith sharing tid-bits and stories about the music business… as well as tomorrow night’s TC Arts Kids Talent Competition where we will be judges… ;-)
… Henry is certainly enjoying his day of celebrity today!… can’t believe how many people saw him last night on WLOS… I’ve talked to people in Canada who saw it… wow! ;-)
… playing in the snow with the boys… thrilled that school let out early because of the weather… today is Henry & Louie’s first real encounter with snow!… ;-). I think this photo of Henry is going to be on WLOS news tonight!
… and celebrating no-school tomorrow with sledding with the neighbors til dark! ;-)
… I love how between Ingles’ produce section (as well as all those “Organic” sections up and down every aisle) and local farms (localharvest.org), it’s so easy to eat organic… ;-)
… it’s official!… I am now part of the Steve Owen family and we are all so excited about some big things we’re about to roll out together… all having to do with the big love we all have for Brevard… and Lake Toxaway & Cashiers, too… ;-)
… with Marlaine and Derek and Matt… I think Matt got my fortune cookie ;-) … went to see “Saving Mr. Banks”… very emotional movie about Walt Disney and the making of Mary Poppins… loved it!
… going to be spending a little time each week in earphones behind the mic at WSQL again soon… ;-)
… the last time I did a show on WSQL, I had some great guests on-air… Keith Urban, Donald Trump, Darius Rucker, Donny Osmond, etc… we’ll have to see what kind of fun we have this time… ;-)
… open road + Marla + “American Honey” at the top of our lungs (with FlyLady waterbottle as a microphone) = fun road trip (and poking around Sephora – hence these little do-dads)… ;-)
… more Sephora beauty do-dads…
… and fun belated birthday dinner for sweet Marla… at Maggiano’s… ;-)
… my favorite store, Theophilus, (Brevard’s #1 Boutique & Clothing Store) is very soon moving into a bigger and better space where the old Architectural Salvage store used to be (it moved into the Antique Mall next store)… I can’t wait to see the new space! ;-)
… funny blurb of a video Matt shot at the dog agility trials with Daddatz yesterday… we went back today to watch some more… Henry is quite excited to start his agility training… ;-)
…she inspires her dad in NYC… and her dad inspires me… most recently this week with my 2014 New Years resolutions, which I will share with you all… this year’s list makes me very happy… ;-)
… I mentioned these bangles of mine today during a Take Back conference call, and how I wear them on days when I feel I need an extra reminder to lay troubles at the Lord’s feet, and keep them there (not pick them up)… little did I know how much that comment would affect someone on that call… they called me later and first thing they said when I answered the phone was “I need some bangles”… so glad I’m working with a team that becomes more like a family with each passing day… xoxo
… at Ingles grabbing groceries after a day-long real estate class… if you’re reading this blog, chances are I love you or care about you, and hope you’ve made the switch to organic milk… I’ve done the research, you want to do this, trust me… don’t buy regular milk anymore… ;-)
… celebrating Matt’s winning his school Geography Bee 3-years-in-a-row… I am so proud of you, sweetie! ;-)
… we laugh and say your bags were packed the day you were born… love to travel the world and geography… going to State again in Charlotte with Dr. Hammond!
… celebration dinner at Marco Trattoria… thank you! ;-)
… veal saltimbuca with potatoes gratin and roasted asparagus… mmm!
… look who stopped by our table and tried on Matt’s ribbon?… Tammy! ;-)
Jeffrey Smith at his talk tonight on GMO foods at the Hahn Gallery… thank you, Jeffrey, for coming to Brevard… and thank you to Healthy Harvest for getting him here! :-)
… at The Phoenix… double standards… I’m pretty sure the person I’m with right now (who doesn’t like whining) is whining right now about this Coke I’m drinking… the Phoenix’s menu, by the way, is all farm-to-table!
…100% all-organic lasagne… organic noodles, organic tomatoes, organic spices, local organic grass-fed beef… yummy on one of the coldest nights ever! ;-)
… www.localharvest.org is a great resource for buying organic… plug in our zip code and see how many great organic farms we have around here!
… I’ve had some of my biggest breakthroughs when fasting, so I’m excited about this… a friend of mine turned me on to this Daniel fast… and Leanne knows all the people behind this book… ;-)
… January 14 at the Haen Gallery in Brevard… Jeffrey Smith is speaking on GMOs… if you haven’t seen his award-winning film, Genetic Roulette, I highly recommend renting it on amazon.com… for more info on the event, click here. ;-)
