For Kara. Ever notice how giving yourself the goal of being a better mother really means being a better everything? A better person, a better cook, a better housekeeper, a better financial provider, better at being healthy, better at dealing with emotions, better at being prepared, better at setting goals and achieving them... Here's to the journey of 'better': examining where I am now and clarifying where I want to be while striving to get from here to there.

Girlie Painting
This is what we did yesterday after school/work and dinner (hot dogs, waffle fries and orange walnut salad -which turned out even yummier than I expected and K was more into it than I thought he would be). I had been wanting to get the lady outside for some al fresco painting. Its on that list of things that seem fun for a kid and summery to me. These are the kind of days I want her to remember from her childhood. She was completely engrossed -she kept saying 'I'm making a abstract painting. Abstract painting.' over and over again. Did I ever mention that I'm actually a big fan of Calliou? (The newer episodes. Yikes to the older ones.) So KB and I made some good memories and K helped clean up -it was straight into the tub after this.
The fruits of our labor. A fun afternoon.
(What do you think of my romaine lettuce stem stamp flowers? Ha! Did I mention I'm an aspiring artist? Er, maybe just aspriring to aspire...)

I'm also aspiring to get the hang of picture alignment... is it the blog format/layout? It doesn't look like this when I'm composing.
