Carrots are full of Vitamin A and beta carotene which are good for your eye health. This is a fact. The superpowers of carrots though have become exaggerated over time. They help maintain healthy eyes but cannot resolve vision problems. If you are near-sighted, no amount of carrots will change that. Why then do we…

This is the story that caught my attention… Every 20 minutes, from dawn to dark, the babies need food. That means catching hundreds of fruit flies a day, freezing them, crushing them with mortar and pestle, and mixing the mush with special nectar supplemented with vitamins, enzymes, and oils in precise combination. The mixture spoils…
Just announced – Week in the Life 2018 will be May 7-13, 2018. Did you participate in Day in the Life last Thursday? Was it easier than you thought it might be? Ready to try tackling a whole week? Week in the Life is more of a commitment (and honestly I usually barely make it…
Today’s post is inspired by a recent episode of Mike Rowe’s podcast, The Way I Heard It. If for some reason, you don’t know who Mike Rowe is, check his somewhat irreverant bio here. The Way I Heard It is a series of short mysteries for the curious mind with a short attention span. Episode…
Welcome back for the final installment of Day in the Life, March 2018. I always find it a bit ironic that I often spend more time recording the memories than I did making them in the first place. Oh the trials of a scrapbooker… Or should I say Head Family Memory Preservation Specialist? That makes…
Did you see Part 1 of my day in the life story? We left off as I was rushing out the door, late for work. Join me now for more of Thursday, March 18… Through Mid-Afternoon 0834 Enter my classroom. As I suspected, my uneaten breakfast burrito from yesterday is sitting right where I left it. …
I did a great job of capturing my day. Maybe too good of a job because so far I’ve typed up only about a third of my notes. I decided to break my day up into sections to make a shorter, easier read. Here we go – My life on Thursday, March 14, 2018: Before…
There are many things about the world today that, in my opinion, are not great. Big problems and smaller problems. Some things will take a lot of people working for a long time to see change. What am I doing in the meantime? What small, daily actions can I take to work towards a more…
Quick question… is the voice of the announcements in the airport a person or a computer? Hmm, perhaps you’ve never stopped to think about it before. My answer would probably be computer. I would be wrong. Ironically enough, I saw the headline for this story the night before I headed to the airport on…
One of my favorite scrapbook projects is Ali Edwards’ Day in the Life. She chooses a few days each year to highlight through this project as well as sometimes a longer, more involved life capture called Week in the Life. My first time participating in Day in the Life was 2007. I even have that…
I went to the market today. Not my usual shopping at Safeway. Nope. Today I went to H-Mart. For me, going to H-Mart is a trip to an exotic location. I am fascinated and nervous at the same time. It’s a grocery store (I go to the grocery store practically every day) but filled with…
