holiest day
The most under-rated way to spend hours upon hours in a car? Just sitting.
On Sunday we spent eight hours traveling through the mountains to the plains staring out the window mostly in silence. The result? Readiness to resume normal life after a frenetically super-fun long weekend.
Take transitions at a slow and tender pace; silence and space is your friend in these times of change.
Today is the autumn equinox and Yom Kippur.

back in session
Mommies ...
While bébé is at school ...
Please resist the temptation to run-amok-errands!
Take the time to do the thing(s) you "never have time to do".
In my case this is
1. Draw
2. Yoga
DO YOU FIRST
followed by only the most essential chores promptly before pick-up.
The point is : open-ended time for your love-it-list and limited time for tedious tasks.

Transition
The inner process through which people come to terms with change.
Jet lag has put our little family in limbo these last few days. Disturbed sleep. Erratic energy. In order to dampen the effects of circadian dysrhythmia:
- Unpack and tidy up.
- Drink green juice daily!
- Abstain from caffeine.
- Eat sparingly.
- Stay close to 'home'.
- Walk instead of drive.
- Family-time if possible.
- Be kind to yourself.
- Say 'no'.
and lastly,
- Not sleeping? Savasana.
- Say 'no'.
and lastly,
- Not sleeping? Savasana.
Change is situational.
Transition is psychological.

Traveling with bébé
My husband said
"It's so much better than traveling alone!"
If you can channel this mentality you are good-to-go.
Live vicariously through your kids awe and wonder -
the airport is a thrill again!
Stay organized; less-is-more.
Stay present; fun is ubiquitous.

bleu blanc rouge
To Grandmother's House we go!
CAPSULE WARDROBE for traveling ; maman et bébé picked a color theme of red-white-and-blue (plus noir et blanc*) inspired by the upcoming holiday and mommy's classic mood for our 10-day trip to both Grandparents' in Cleveland. With a color theme I don't have to think twice about which bébé hairbows, maman hankiepankies, or both girls' bikinis to bring ... but I do have to remember to bring them!
On the road I always don a scarf and wear a watch! Happy travels!
*And, of course, a few corals and yellows, too.

apéro
Springtime meals are better with champagne!
Or better yet, a glass with a snack at happy hour.
