"Mommy, I'll Carry You." | What I Love About Being a Mama
With Mother's Day just around the corner, I asked some of my favorite mamas a few questions about motherhood, how it's changed their lives, what they love the most. Some of the things they shared with me made me smile. Some answers made me giggle, and other responses made me cry. (You know me!) I'm very lucky to know so many amazing mamas who have hearts of gold! I've known these sweeties since Ocean was in his mommy's tummy, and I'm so blessed to have been able to document his sweet family every year since.
Best. Advice. Ever.
Ocean's Grandma got to join us for our session too, and it warmed my heart to see them playing together. I know that little boys tend to have their own ideas of what constitutes "fun", so we decided to sneak up behind the ladies and "trick them".
Grandma was a terrific sport! Mamas and Grandmas of little boys are pretty lucky, I think.
And so are those little boys.
Don't forget that Mother's Day is this coming Sunday! All this month, I'll be featuring photographs of some really inspiring mamas, who are offering their best advice and thoughts on motherhood. There is even a giveaway or two in the works, so be sure and check back or add this blog to your reader/rss feed.
And if you're thinking of having your own photo session sometime in the future, make sure you sign up for our newsletter over there to the left! I promise never to bombard you with email, but only let you know of fun things, special announcements, and upcoming dates and events. If you're sold on a session right away, then click on the word "contact" below this post, or in the menu bar at the top of this blog. I can't wait to chat with you.
How have you evolved through motherhood, like Ocean's mama says? Do you stop folding laundry and play with your kids? (That one convicted my heart.) I'd love to know your thoughts, so leave a comment below this post!
xoxo, Stacey
A little break, and some recognition too. | Mother's Day Photo Sessions
You deserve a break. You deserve a little recognition too, for all you've accomplished.
Whether you work from home, at home, or away from home, I know that you are busy 24/7, and that you have a BIG JOB no matter what.
Just think about the roles you play on a daily basis...
- You're a mama. And maybe a wife, a fiancee, a sister and a daughter. And maybe you play the role of Daddy most days too, which means that you totally win my award for Parent of the Year. Hats off to you, my sweet friend.
- You're dependable, and you're always the friend with diaper wipes on hand or a safety pin in an emergency or the number for a fantastic hairstylist / dermatologist / family photographer (ahem) and your friends just adore you for it.
- You're a full-time nurse, and the most fantastic splinter-surgeon with the coolest band-aids ever.
- You're a nutrition expert. You are a sous chef for picky eaters and kids with three different food allergies and a gluten sensitivity. You're also a server. (And the entire clean-up staff, most times, if we're being honest.)
- You're a taxi driver to ballet classes, a baseball coach, a cheerleader for your son's soccer team and an expert time manager to just keep up with it all.
- You're a housekeeper, a lunch-packer, and a laundry specialist. (My most favorite made-up title to date, ha!)
- You're an infant-sleep-expert by now, and a toddler-tantrum-diffuser as well.
- You're a psychologist. (Even mamas of the youngest babies have to know a little "sly-chology" from time to time.)
- You're still in school, and will be for as long as your kids need help with homework and science fair projects and book reports and learning how to write cursive.
- You're a stylist for your family's wardrobe, your little girl's hair (and your own), and a master at finding tiny lost shoes under beds at the last minute.
- And let's be honest. (I already know anyway.) You're a photographer too. :) You've got thousands of photos on your iPhone, your point and shoot, or your dSLR. Your Facebook timeline is peppered with photos of your children, and who could blame you? They ARE adorable, we all agree.
However. YOU are rarely in the photos. And if you are, it's just a quick snapshot taken by Dad or a passerby at the beach. (Sorry, Dad, we know you mean well.)
But guess what? That's not enough.
You deserve more.
You deserve a professional photo shoot with you and your little ones snuggling and singing and holding hands and swinging and laughing and hugging and tickling each other and giving Eskimo kisses.
That would make the perfect Mother's Day gift, wouldn't it? Either from someone else, or even as a gift you give to yourself (and indirectly, to your children as well).
And my whole reason -- my very heart's desire -- for this special event is that it might just give you a little encouragement to pull that mini-album out of your purse during soccer practice or week's they're away at camp. It might make you stop and be grateful for these fleeting moments when you look at that sweet framed photograph on the wall, after dropping them off at preschool (or middle school) on the first day. It may make your celebrations sweeter to be able to flip through photo albums with your children each year, as you reflect on how much they've grown, and they see through your photographs just how much they were loved, even way back then.
Photographs of my children are my most treasured material possession. They are what we will grab in an emergency, only after each other. They cannot be replaced or duplicated or substituted.
And you deserve them on this special day... the day that reserved just for hardworking, well-intentioned, sacrificing Mamas like you. No matter if your children are still babies or if they are teenagers already.
It would be my honor to give you such a gift.
Session availability is extremely limited, and mini-sessions begin tomorrow.
Friday morning, April 11th Friday evening, April 11th Saturday evening, April 12th
Several sessions have already been booked, but there are a few openings left.
They are waiting for you.
Reserve your Mother's Day Mini-Session now by calling 727-698-0344 or by replying to this email. Your Session Fee will be required to book; all major credit cards are accepted.

Mother's Day Mini-Sessions
Mother's Day Mini-Sessions are now open for registration! I'm honored to be photographing sweet, sentimental mamas and their beautiful children in Tampa Bay next weekend, and I hope you'll join us!
I want to be very clear... These Mother's Day Mini-Sessions are meant to be shared and enjoyed and made as meaningful to your family as possible. If you'd like to, consider inviting your mother to join in! Ask your mother-in-law. Your grandmother. Your children. Your grandchildren. Your special aunt, perhaps. Or your mama-figure, whomever that is in your life. Think about how precious a multi-generational photograph would be to your family.
We just want to celebrate you!
Sessions will take place in 30 minute increments:
Friday, April 11th morning 8am - 9:30am
Friday, April 11th evening 6pm - 7:30pm
Saturday, April 12th evening 6pm - 7:30pm
These sessions are limited, and some of the above appointments have already been filled by current clients and email newsletter subscribers. If you'd like to reserve your session, get in touch with me asap at 727-698-0344, by emailing: stacey at staceywoodsphoto dot com, or by using the contact form on this website.
This year, receive a gift that won't fade or wilt, one that won't break or go out of style. A gift that encourages you, just as much as you encourage your children, every time you walk past it hanging on your wall.
I can't wait to meet you.
xo, Stacey
Better Than Flowers: Mother's Day Mini Sessions
Ever since I was a little girl, Mother's Day has seemed so happy and magical to me. At church, our pastor would give special recognition (large, full hanging baskets of flowers) to the youngest mother, the oldest mother, the mother with the most children present in the service that morning, and the mother whose child(ren) traveled farthest to be with her that day. My own mom actually won once. She tied for "mom with the most kids present" by having us three girls there. She tied with Donna Prichard, who usually won that title, but tied that year because one of her four kids didn't make it there in time. ;) Donna graciously let my mom take the basket of flowers that day, and I've never forgotten that.
Mother's Day has always been a big deal, but even more so when I became a mama myself.
And not because it meant that I'd get a gift. ;) Like many of you, I don't think it's really about the gift itself... it's about the thought behind that gift. Right, moms? It's an opportunity to teach our children how to love well, to give with intention, to show honor and respect, and to make someone feel amazing and appreciated for the job they do and the sacrifices they make.
Truly, I could not be happier if I only receive homemade cards from my children, because their love is pure and sweet and simple and these precious art pieces are straight from their little hearts!
But.... Daddy doesn't get off the hook so easily. ;)
My husband knows that I want to be recognized, appreciated for all I do for our family. Whether that may be shown with a sweet gift that he thinks I'll like, or a special dinner out alone or with the family (so I don't have to cook or clean up the mess), or a bouquet of my favorite flowers, or lavish attention and a day of extra-special honor in front of our children.
Just notice me. Recognize me and pay special attention to me today. Encourage me that I'm really doing okay at this motherhood thing. Tell me you love me and that I'm making a difference in our children's lives, even if it doesn't feel like it some days.
Because some days, don't you think that being a mama is the most challenging job in the world??
Here's the thing: we all know that even the most beautiful flowers still wilt and fade. Stylish jewelry goes out of style eventually or it gets shuffled around and forgotten in the jewelry box. Dinner is only delicious for an evening. Eventually I'll have to cook again, and the dishes will pile up in the sink tomorrow. (Those handmade cards, though? They'll be precious forever!)
What I'd really love is a memory. A keepsake. A way to freeze this precious time of life, to actually see how much my children love me, how happy they really are, after all. An encouraging reminder on tough days (cause they're coming) that I'm still doing a good job. That I'm doing meaningful work, and that I matter to these tiny people who call me Mama.
Do you feel the same way? I thought so.
With that in mind, this year I'm planning something wonderful for my photography clients:
Sweet mamas, these are just for you and your children! (Or you and your own mama.) A few wonderful minutes, captured on film, with your children on your lap, in your arms, and holding your hand. Your place of honor. A printed, tangible reminder of their love, on the wall for years and years (because don't we all have kind of a sinking feeling that the teenage years are going to be worse than the teething ones??).
So I chose a gorgeous new location with lush greenery, sand and sea. I have fun, sweet ideas in mind for getting you and your babies snuggled up close for real, beautiful portraits that will be an encouragement to you for years to come. I've got special Mini-Collections that allow you to own digital files, matted prints and/or a beautiful modern album telling the story of your day. And I'm offering them to you now, in plenty of time to have your prints in hand (and maybe even framed) by Mother's Day.
Now. Tell me that isn't better than flowers.
(Mamas, forward this post to your significant other TODAY. If they are anything like my husband, they truly do appreciate it when you spell out exactly what you want!)
Or, gift this special session to yourself, to your mother, or to your children! I promise, you'll never regret making the investment in photographs of your sweet loves.
Stay tuned this week for your opportunity to register for one of these limited-edition sessions. I can't wait to give you this beautiful gift and to encourage you in your mama-journey.
xo, Stacey

Merry & Bright Mini-Sessions
It's Mini-Session time again! Every Fall, I offer Holiday Minis so that you can update your family's photos if you've had them done earlier in the year. Lots of clients see me every few years for those big milestones (pregnancies, new babies, birthdays, etc.) and then opt for a mini-session in between. And sometimes, families who aren't quite ready for a full Signature Session opt to try a mini-session and dip their toe in slowly. So which one are you? :)
I have THREE open spaces left: Saturday September 28 at 6:30 (the sun sets at 7:20) and Saturday October 5 at 5:15pm and 5:45pm (the sun sets at 7:12pm).
The location we've chosen offers the best of both worlds: a lush green setting.... rows of pine trees, clusters of sea grapes, and a pond surrounded by reeds and rushes. And it just happens to be on the beach as well... a picturesque boardwalk leading to the Gulf of Mexico, soft waves lapping over the sand, a huge stretch of white sand beach, dunes covered in sea oats and wildflowers, and even a tiki hut. (How cool would a tiki hut be on your Christmas card this year, right?!)
To reserve your family's reservation, just send me an email using the contact button up there on the right sidebar.... ----> or give me a call at 727-698-0344. All sessions must be paid in full to reserve your spot; all mini-sessions are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
I can't wait to see you!
The First-Ever Spring Mini-Session Event
Spring is HERE in Florida! The skies are bright and sunny, Spring Breakers are lining the beaches, flowers are blooming everywhere, and temperatures are in the 70s again. Let's celebrate, shall we?
Spring Minis. Saturday evening, May 4th. For this event, I've selected a beautiful patch of sunlight amongst great, grand live oak trees with Spanish moss dripping from their branches... and it's just a few steps away from one of the Gulf's prettiest white sand beaches. I can't imagine a more perfect Spring setting! So whether you prefer the foliage or the coast (or a little bit of both!), we've got you covered.
Call me at 727.698.0344 or use the contact form in the sidebar, to reserve your 20-minute session and accompanying prints. Exclusive Mini-Collections are available as well.
Hint: these would make amazing Mother's Day or Father's Day gifts! Sessions will take place just prior to Mother's Day, and final prints will be back in time for Father's Day gift-giving.
Can't wait -- see you soon!

Mini-Sessions 2012
Elevate: A Fine Art Photography Exploration | November 2011
"When my heart is heavy, the sun helps make it light." -Astrid Alauda
This week has been so tiring. Even though Charlotte is truly an angel baby, so easy and adaptable, just go-with-the-flow... I have to admit that being a mama to three little ones is much more exhausting than I'd imagined! With a busy shooting season, a last-minute school presentation on the night that Daddy is working late, a bit of forgotten homework, a temper tantrum (or three), a broken A/C and far too little sleep... you have the makings of a tired and weary mama and photographer.
But. (And thank goodness for the "but", right?) But, this weekend I got to see some of my favorite families during our mini-sessions. And being drenched in such sweet morning light in the park was like therapy for my soul. A tiny escape, thanks to my camera, my friend, lending me a fresh new perspective for a few hours. My mind switching gears and letting me concentrate on something other than myself for a bit. The fresh morning sun reminding me that today is "a new day, with no mistakes in it yet."
My intention this particular morning was to also shoot something different for my Elevate project; however, the more I tried to force myself to shoot something out of the ordinary for me, to stretch myself creatively and fulfill this vision I had brought with me..... the more I realized that on this particular day, simply being out in the sunshine and photographing these sweet clients and friends was what my heart needed more than anything. I needn't look further. I needed to take smaller steps, in fact, after being out on somewhat of a maternity leave for these past several weeks. I didn't need to move outside the box, I needed desperately to be inside that box. Where it's comfortable. Calm. Reassuring.
And yet, it's still new to me. Sweet faces in sweet light. Sunshine on my skin. After being on maternity leave for several weeks, it feels good to feel like I'm back IN my element again!
I'm so grateful for the peace that photography brings to my heart, just when I need it. I'm so very blessed.
As you know, I'm joining several other photographers who are exploring Fine Art Photography, and pushing our creative spirits each month. I hope you'll visit Gina Oh next, and see what loveliness she has to share with us.

Report - June 2009
Record Recovery
This new report concludes that the health IT sector is one of New York City's best bets for reigniting and diversifying the city's economy. It argues that with the right local economic development strategy, the federal government's unprecedented $19.2 billion investment in electronic health records could create thousands of long-term jobs in New York City and make the city a leading hub for the health IT sector.

Outbreak of Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella Infections Linked to Turkey Products
Posted November 16, 2018 at 5:15 PM EDT
CDC and public health and regulatory officials in several states are investigating a multistate outbreak of multidrug-resistant Salmonella infections linked to raw turkey products. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) is monitoring the outbreak.
Latest Outbreak Information
At A Glance
- Reported Cases: 164
- States: 35
- Hospitalizations: 63
- Deaths: 1
- Recall: Yes
- As of November 5, 2018, 164 people infected with the outbreak strain of SalmonellaReading have been reported from 35 states.
- 63 people have been hospitalized, and one death has been reported from California.
- Epidemiologic and laboratory evidence indicates that raw turkey products from a variety of sources are contaminated with Salmonella Reading and are making people sick.
- In interviews, ill people report eating different types and brands of turkey products purchased from many different locations. Three ill people lived in households where raw turkey pet food was fed to pets.
- The outbreak strain has been identified in samples taken from raw turkey pet food, raw turkey products, and live turkeys.
- On November 15, 2018, Jennie-O Turkey Store Sales in Barron, Wisconsin recalled approximately 91,388 pounds of raw ground turkey products.
- A single, common supplier of raw turkey products or of live turkeys has not been identified that could account for the whole outbreak.
- The outbreak strain of Salmonella Reading is present in live turkeys and in many types of raw turkey products, indicating it might be widespread in the turkey industry. CDC and USDA-FSIS have shared this information with representatives from the turkey industry and asked about steps that they may be taking to reduce Salmonella contamination.
Recall and Advice to Consumers and Retailers
On November 15, 2018, Jennie-O Turkey Store Sales, LLC, in Barron, Wisconsin recalled approximately 91,388 pounds of raw ground turkey products. The recalled ground turkey was sold in one-pound packages labeled with establishment number "P-190". This is found inside the USDA mark of inspection. The following products were recalled:
- "Jennie-O Ground Turkey 93% LEAN | 7% FAT" with "Use by" dates of 10/01/2018 and 10/02/2018.
- "Jennie-O Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey" with a "Use by" date of 10/02/2018.
- "Jennie-O Ground Turkey 85% LEAN | 15% FAT" with a "Use by" date of 10/02/2018.
- "Jennie-O Italian Seasoned Ground Turkey" with a "Use by" date of 10/02/2018.
Do not eat, sell, or serve recalled Jennie-O brand ground turkey products.
Always handle raw turkey carefully and cook it thoroughly to prevent food poisoning. This outbreak is a reminder that raw turkey products can have germs that spread around food preparation areas and can make you sick.
With the exception of the recalled Jennie-O brand ground turkey products, CDC is not advising that consumers avoid eating properly cooked turkey products, or that retailers stop selling raw turkey products.
CDC advises consumers to follow these steps to help prevent Salmonella infection from raw turkey:
- Wash your hands. Salmonella infections can spread from one person to another. Wash hands before and after handling raw turkey products.
- Cook raw turkey thoroughly to kill harmful germs. Turkey breasts, whole turkeys, and ground poultry, including turkey burgers, casseroles, and sausage, should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F to kill harmful germs. Leftovers should be reheated to 165°F. Use a food thermometer to check, and place it in the thickest part of the food.
- Don't spread germs from raw turkey around food preparation areas. Washing raw poultry before cooking is not recommended. Germs in raw poultry juices can spread to other areas and foods. Thoroughly wash hands, counters, cutting boards, and utensils with warm, soapy water after they touch raw turkey. Use a separate cutting board for raw turkey and other raw meats if possible.
- CDC does not recommend feeding raw diets to pets. Germs like Salmonella in raw pet food can make your pets sick. Your family also can get sick by handling the raw food or by taking care of your pet.
CDC will update the advice to consumers and retailers if more information comes available, such as a supplier or type of raw turkey product linked to illness.
Symptoms of Salmonella Infection
- Most people infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps 12 to 72 hours after being exposed to the bacteria.
- The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most people recover without treatment.
- In some people, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other places in the body.
- In rare cases, Salmonella infection can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics.
- Children younger than 5 years of age, adults older than 65 years of age, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to have severe illness.
- For more information, see the CDC Salmonella website.
Investigation Details
November 16, 2018
Public health officials in Arizona collected unopened Jennie-O brand ground turkey from an ill person's home. The outbreak strain of SalmonellaReading was identified in the ground turkey.
On November 15, 2018, Jennie-O Turkey Store Sales, LLC, in Barron, Wisconsin recalled approximately 91,388 pounds of raw ground turkey products. The recalled ground turkey products were sold in one-pound packages and have use by dates of October 1, 2018 and October 2, 2018.
Ill people in this outbreak report buying many different brands of raw turkey products from multiple stores. Available data indicate that this strain of Salmonella Reading may be present in live turkeys and in raw turkey products. A single, common supplier of raw turkey products or of live turkeys has not been identified that could account for the whole outbreak.

Our goal is to ensure that no girl will be unable to attend GGAST due to her family's economic status. Educating a girl is one of the most powerful instruments for reducing a nations poverty, improving health outcomes, promoting global development, and supporting equality for women. Partnering with our students will not only transform them as individuals, but it will impact their entire communities.
The intentionally wide socio-economic demographic in our student population, underscores our goal to contribute to long-term peace and reconciliation in Rwanda, and therefore compels us to have a tremendously robust financial aid program. Our full school fees do not cover the full cost of a students' education, therefore 100% of our families receive aide. When you give to our students, you are supporting Rwanda's future leaders, doctors, scientists, and entrepreneurs!
"I have many BIG DREAMS, like eradicating Tuberculosis and HIV, but my biggest dream is that the 62 million girls around the world who are without an education find their own Gashora."

This year's year 12 will embark upon the new specification course offered by Edexcel.
In A Level Mathematics:
In the new specification for Mathematics all modules are compulsory meaning the A-Level mathematics is more standardised across all the different educational institutions.
Students will aim to sit three two hour exams at the end of year 13.
Two of these will concentrate on the pure mathematics topics such as:
Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Vectors, etc.
The other exam will be 50% Statistics and 50% Mechanics.
In the statistics module students will be investigating topics such as:
Probability, Statistical Distributions and Hypothesis Tests, Data Presentation and Interpretation, etc.
In mechanics they will study:
Kinematics, Forces, Moments, Newton's Laws, etc.
(These topics should also help support any students wishing to study physics.)
In A Level Further Mathematics
In Further Mathematics the new specification dictates half of the content course:
Including topics:
Complex numbers, matrices, proof, differential equations etc
The other half is chosen by the school. Here at KBA we have opted to take:
Additional Further Pure, Decision and Discrete
These will include topics that take the further pure topics into greater depth and the decision looks at algorithms, critical path analysis, linear programming, etc.
These two additional modules will be taught alongside the two compulsory Further Pure Mathematics modules
Year 12s are advised that the Casio FX 991 EX "Classwiz" calculator is recommended by both the school and the exam board. This will be required in order to answer a number of questions, particularly in the statistics modules.
We have a number of textbooks available on the school intranet, and textbooks specifically for the new specification can be obtained from the Edexcel website.

What is Theta Healing?
Theta healing is a sophisticated technology for healing, utilizing a set of techniques that allows you to quickly identify deeply held blocks and to reprogram the unconscious mind to be free of negative beliefs. Theta Healing is essentially applied quantum physics using the Theta Brainwave. This brainwave which until recently was believed to be accessible only in sleep or yogi-level meditation or hypnosis. Theta Healing began as a highly effective treatment for diseases like cancer.
What can Theta healing do for you?
Theta Healing is an extraordinary technique that allows for immediate results in physical healing, as in disease and the emotional healing in the rewriting of your feelings and beliefs permanently. Theta Healing gives you the choice and the power to change every aspect of your life, allowing you to look and feel the way you wish in your physical appearance, and health. Enjoy rewarding relationships and the success in your life you are searching for. To master your thoughts and actions. To act rather than react to situations. To bring peace and happiness as a daily condition.

The Essential Guide to Winter Herbs
Missing your beautiful garden during these bone-chilling winter months?
Good news is you don't have to! This is your chance to perfect your indoor gardening skills, and make your kitchen and recipes come alive with winter-friendly herbs.
But not all herbs are created equal. Some greens rely on warmer conditions, while others can stand the cold indoors. Let's take a look at some star herbs you can use to bring back fresh garden feels during the frosty season.
Rosemary is winter herb royalty. From replacing sugar for added dimension in sweet to mild sauces and relishes, this culinary herb goes with just about everything in the kitchen this time of year.
Start your indoor harvest with a go-to winter-green.This hard-stemmed herb is sturdy enough to defend itself against icy temperatures and pungent enough to pair with other strong flavors and hearty meats.
When growing rosemary indoors, be sure to have a brightly-lit spot saved in a cool, moist environment. A garage where the temp doesn't drop below freezing also works (given there is plenty of light or supplemental light provided).
Pass the parsley, please! Did you know there are two types of this uber leafy herb? Curly leaf parsley is less tough, and perfectly suited for fine-chopping. While flat parsley has a more pungent, robust flavor, and should be treated as a seasoning or garnish.
Parsley has so much flavor and plate personality. Its bitterness pairs beautifully with zesty oranges as featured in this gently tossed salad. Not to mention that growing this hardy biennial is fairly simple. Keep the soil lightly moist, and watch so the roots don't sit in water by draining every so often.
Though this soft, woody perennial is not as winter-growing friendly, oregano flavors are a must this season. Oregano is a bold and gutsy winter herb that just loves the attention. Potatoes and artichokes have earthy, firm textures and flavors, and when roasted with fresh herbs like oregano, are taken to a whole new level.
You can actually freeze the leaves from your spring harvest to use during the winter. They store well and are easily dried when kept in an airtight container. If you do decide to grow fresh oregano, find the corner window with the best light. At least eight hours of bright light (artificial or natural) should do the trick and plenty of opportunity for clean water drainage should do the trick!
Relaxing with lemongrass tea is wonderful on winter days, but have you tried growing this amazing herb indoors? It's easy, productive, *obviously* smells amazing, and is downright delicious. Lemongrass is a favored herb in many Southeast Asian cuisines, praised for its delicate, lemony notes.
When growing, harvest this stalk-y green frequently, as it encourages and helps new growth, and keep your lemongrass pots in full sun and water/fertilize often.
Be on tarragon the world with this next winter herb! Though this green is only half hardy and doesn't perform as well as its herb counterparts this time of year, its bittersweet, distinctive flavor comes in handy for the season.
This aromatic herb is fairly bittersweet with an anise flavoring, making it wonderful for protein-heavy, meat-focused dishes. Like parsley, there are two types of tarragon: French (popular preference, dedicate and balanced flavors) and Russian (can be more harsh-tasting and less aromatic).
Be sure to provide tarragon with plenty of light (6-8 hours) and don't overwater when growing inside.

This Mama's Soup and Smoothie Cleanse Week, and Intermittent Fasting Experience
*This is not a sponsored post. Phil and Mama are part of the Splendid Spoon Ambassador Program. (Use our Ambassador Perk link at splendid.to/PHILANDMAMA to automatically receive $50 off your first order of Splendid Spoon's Program 2.0.)
I think I've tried about every trending diet; none have been successful. With the paleo diet, I saw myself losing weight, but then my cholesterol levels were through the roof! I stopped eating carbs for a while, and then my cravings for carbs came back with a vengeance. As a result, I packed on twenty pounds! Then there was a time where I ate an egg every morning. Soon, I became sick of hard-boiled eggs.
Then I decided to just stop dieting and just eat less. I realized that eating three standard meals a day, plus snacks in between, was leading to an annual weight gain. Every year, I was gaining an average of two to five pounds! I always thought that the portions I ate were small. But in truth, standard portions are too big for one person. I'd pop if I eat an entire entree by myself at Cheesecake Factory or Applebee's!
I was also eating too many animal products. My skin was terrible. I was always tired. I had stomachaches. So I started to eat more fruits and veggies, and replaced milk with plant and nut-based alternatives. (Ever try pea-based creamer? It's amazing!) I began to fast intermittently and do water or juice cleanses every now and then. I replaced a meal or two with Soylent. I began to love eating veggies. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan, but I'm definitely eating a lot less animal products.
I was so excited to find out about Splendid Spoon's smoothie and soup cleanse programs, and joined its Ambassador Program. Splendid Spoon is based in NYC, where we're from! They offer vegan and gluten-free meals that are easy to store and prepare, and are delicious! You can start your morning with a refreshing, raw smoothie, have a soup bowl for lunch, and eat just about anything for dinner. Then, on day six, you have soup. Yes, just soup for a day of soup cleansing.
(Use our Ambassador Perk link at splendid.to/PHILANDMAMA to automatically receive $50 off your first order of Splendid Spoon's Program 2.0.)
I love the almond kale smoothie (with banana and vanilla) and all the hearty soup bowls. Each smoothie has a different taste, and the soup bowls are also all different. Splendid Spoon also offers a blue smoothie made with organic blue majik from spirulina.
For five days, I nourished myself with Splendid Spoon's Program 2.0. I didn't have to worry about making breakfast, and preparing or buying lunch. I felt satiated, and my taste buds were happy. When you eat healthier meals, your body goes through a detoxification and cleanse. And oh boy, yes, did I spend time in the bathroom. I felt like I was cleansing out my colon!
I especially liked the meticulous packaging Program 2.0 came in. The smoothie bottles came in reusable bags. The soup bowls came with pretty packaging complete with inspirational quotes.
Now I've mentioned a lot of good about the program. What about the bad? Day six of soup cleansing wasn't my favorite day. I didn't enjoy every flavor of the soups. Vegan bone broth tasted especially sour. I also felt Splendid Spoon loves using cumin. Some of the soup bowls felt repetitive and a bit too chunky. When the smoothies came, they were also icy inside. I let them thaw a bit before I drank them.
Program 2.0 also isn't inexpensive, but the price is fair for 15 meals (six days of food!) Going through the program, you feel a sense of accomplishment. You also save on time. You're eating vegan food, and cleansing your body. You're teaching your taste buds to enjoy vegetables and fruits. And you see what good portions sizes are for each meal.
Intermittent fasting is gaining a lot of traction in research. I really don't believe humans are born to eat three large meals a day and snack in between. Our ancient ancestors never had that privilege.
I highly recommend you try Splendid Spoon's Program 2.0 for a week. Refresh your body, cleanse your system, and save on time. Let me know what you think!

I've been injured in a car accident, now what?
One inherent risk of driving on our roads is the possibility of having an accident. Although they happen daily, the majority of people do not end up with injuries that require treatment. However, if there are aches and pains that do not appear to be resolving or improving week to week, or if you're having difficulty returning to work and other activities of daily living, it's best to seek out a care plan from a rehabilitation professional.
There have been several recent landmark changes to ICBC's health coverage for those injured in a motor vehicle accident no matter who is at fault. There is now treatment coverage that is pre-approved for all the following services for 12 weeks post accident: Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Massage Therapy, Counselling, Psychology, Kinesiology, and Acupuncture. Importantly there is no longer a user-fee to access these allied health professionals, meaning, there is absolutely no cost to those injured in the accident.
You do not need a referral for these services, you can access them directly. What this really means is that it will take you less time to find a practitioner who can go through a thorough examination with you, determine a diagnosis, and most importantly a plan of care. During your session, you can expect to be provided education, advice, and movement strategies to get your injury on the path to recovery. Many of these injuries have a two to three-month recovery timelines, so patience, perseverance, and a bit of work is to be expected. Nonetheless, it is now easier than ever to access the services you need to reach your goals.

I could have called it '5 posts in 5 days' or '5 days of articles' but instead I called it '5 days of posts'. The difference is minor but that difference means I did not keep my word. Today's article is an ontological examination of integrity. The idea came about because I was out of integrity, in a way that most people would say doesn't matter but I've decided to take the other view and talk about why it does. ...
When I decided to do the 5 days of post, I was making a game to help myself actually post to my blog. I had the idea to make 1 post every day for 5 days. That's when I made the post '5 days of posts'. I almost named it '5 days, 5 posts' because that would mean I could take a day off and do 2 articles in 1 day. That wasn't a big enough game. I decided to make a commitment to at least 1 post per day. Since I hadn't made a post in over a month, I hoped it would kick start my writing.
It's no big deal, right. I mean, I've only just started this blog and I don't have any regular readers counting on my articles. The only person who would really know or care is me. Yes, I started writing the article Tuesday at 9:30 PM but I didn't post it until Wednesday at 2:00 AM. Perhaps it isn't clear to others what I meant with '5 days of posts' but I knew that I meant that I would post an article each day for 5 days, yet that didn't happen. That! is the issue. I have not kept my word to myself.
In life, human beings do this all the time. We make promises to ourselves and we don't keep them. We rationalize this by telling ourselves it doesn't matter, but in the back of our head we know we won't always follow through with what we say. This can start a downward spiral that has us play small and set smaller goals. Because we can't trust ourselves. How are we suppose to deal with this, we are bound to make a promise to ourselves, or someone else, that we can not keep? Like all things in life it is not what happens to us that matters but how we deal with it. No matter what happens to us along the way, we need to know that we gave everything to maintain our integrity. We need to learn something from the situation, so that the next time we won't be stopped by whatever it was that kept us from keeping our word. Then we need to repromise, and keep that promise to prove that we are a person of our word.
By following this path we can continue to promise ourselves to commitments that scare the average human. By following this path we can achieve these commitments more often than the average human. By following this path we will be viewed by ourselves and others as having integrity. By following this path we will do what we say we are going to do and sleep better at night.
Play big!
Daryl Ducharme is a student of human nature in the school of life. He is repromising to make at least one post each day for the rest of the '5 days of posts'

The BEST news + fire + ouch.
I wore my new Dogwood 25k shirt on my run yesterday. I don't always love race shirts, but this one is awesome. It was super comfortable and I love the colors.
I also stole Jake's goodr glasses. These have got to be some of my favorite running glasses. I had big cheeks, so I have to get sunglasses that kind of sit far out from my face so my cheeks don't push them up. Rayban aviators and goodrs are the best ones I've found so far!
Guys, this is my favorite playlist right now. It's not for a super fast run, I listen to rap when I need to run fast, but this playlist was awesome on my run yesterday. I'm on a country kick right now, so this has a lot of my favorite country tunes. Written in the Sand by Old Dominion might just be my favorite song right now.
Yesterday was the best running weather. I wish it was like this ALL winter. It was nice to see the sun shining.
I got 5 miles in yesterday. I didn't have any soreness from my back-to-back trail races last weekend, so I think I'm completely recovered!
Lunch was amazing. I made a wrap with that blueberry goat cheese and Sriracha turkey I posted about earlier this week. It was delicious. I also had a little salad and some sweet potato bites.
We got a thank you from our friends who just got married. This made me smile! Thanks, Planks! <3
Okay, guys - the best thing EVER happened yesterday. I received approval for my study!!! I can finally start my dissertation. I'm about 2 months behind where I wanted to be, but I'm going to try my best to get caught up. Fingers crossed. The next few months are going to be a crazy amount of work, but this just means I am one step closer to graduation! The journey to Dr. Dorman or Dr. Bradley (depends on when I graduate, HA!) continues!
I love pineapple and had never had this yogurt before. Holy yum.
I had a celebratory glass of wine while I cooked dinner. My shirt wanted me to drink a whole bottle since I ran 5 that morning...I didn't do that. Maybe next time!
I love putting nutritional yeast on our salads. It kind of tastes like cheese. It's so good!
Dinner was pesto parmesan chicken, salad, brussels, and leftover risotto. YUM.
Mmmmmm. Everything was really rich, so I got full super fast. But it was yummy!
Then we broke in our new fire pit!
Aspen and the sneak attack smooch. I thought she was just going to pose with me for a picture. I was wrong.
We enjoyed our fire for about 2 hours or so. It was so relaxing. And our new fire pit is awesome! I can't wait to use it more this winter.
These two were worn out. Aspen never lets her new toy get far from her...
I'm the worst dog mom - Lulu needs a hair cut SO badly. She's so cute when she's fluffy! I haven't been able to make myself schedule her a hair cut. Maybe next week...
This made me laugh. My dang hips are always causing problems! I'm glad I feel like I'm healing up this time around. Fingers crossed.
Morning yoga when it's cold outside means you get ALL bundled up. It was reallllly hard to get out of bed this morning. But I'm glad I did! I went to a yoga Sculpt class and it kicked my butt. I'm going to be sore tomorrow!
When I was driving home from yoga, I decided I NEEDED french toast for breakfast. It hit the spot! Anyone else get very strong food urges? I've always gotten them!
We have kind of a relaxed weekend, which I am pumped about. I know next week will be crazy with Thanksgiving, so I'm looking forward to a little down time. I'm hoping I can start scheduling some interviews for my study for next week - that would be ideal! We have family photos this weekend, so that'll be fun! Both our families are knocking out their own set of photos on the same day, which ended up working out perfectly for us!
What's your favorite breakfast food?
Anyone racing or running long this weekend?
What're your weekend plans?
I hope your weekend is wonderful!

I am up north now, in Minnesota, it is cold here! I don't know what my plans are for the weekend but I may try to get into my mom's gym so that I can at least work out a little bit before I head out for a two week trip to England next weekend.

SAN MARINO – Final voting results expected to be released today by the county will likely show that front-runners Richard Sun, Richard Ward and Allan Yung have been elected to the San Marino City Council.
Unofficial election results by the city clerk showed Yung, a physician, leading all other candidates with 1,984 votes. Sun, a businessman and retired dentist, was running second with 1,964 votes, and Ward, an attorney, had 1,707 votes, according to the city clerk's tally.
Six candidates were vying for three open seats to replace Mayor Bob Twist and council members Betty Brown and Matthew Lin, all of whom retired. Twist and Lin served eight years on the council, while Brown served for 12 years.
The three front-runners will serve four-year terms.
Ward, a 40-year San Marino resident, said he was "very gratified" by the results and attributed his victory to support from the city's Asian community.
During the race, all six candidates vowed to work to attract new businesses to San Marino's small commercial district on Huntington Drive, mitigate traffic issues and partner with the local school district.
San Marino residents also overwhelmingly approved Measure C, which received 2,364 votes.
The measure establishes term limits for council members, who now will be limited to two four-year consecutive terms. Former council members could run again after a two-year hiatus.

Fresh Challenge:
I've been holding out on making Christmas cards because I want to hang on to summer stamps (I didn't even get to some of them!) Flamingo Lingo is one that I really want to ink up. Who says there can't be Summer in December in place of Christmas in July? :)
I enjoy using the sketches at Freshly Made Sketches! Here's the sketch and my card!
How it's Made:
Materials: Framelits, White Christmas Stamp Set, All is Calm DSP, Smoky Slate, Whisper White and Lost Lagoon card stock, Smoky Slate, Lost Lagoon, Pear Pizzaz, and Cherry Cobbler ink, and lots of bling to make a sparkly white Christmas look.
Health Update:
The doctor is concerned with my teeth so I'm off to the dentist tomorrow. My teeth often throb throughout the day because of clinching due to pain. Please pray I can make it through the appointment. I may even come out with a cool mouth guard-hope it's sparkles :)

Bertie's Biscuits
As the Nashville food scene continues to flourish, a Music City native with a strong lineage in the restaurant world gives a Southern staple a modern twist.
Greer Watkins comes from a long line of restauranteurs in Nashville. "My grandfather and dad both kind of paved the way for me in the sense that they had their own restaurants," she says. She developed her work ethic in their restaurants through high school and college. "I kind of always knew that hospitality and that kind of thing was my passion, but didn't know what avenue I'd go down to get there." After school she lived in D.C. and traveled before returning to her Music City home.
"In D.C., street food was really prominent, everything you wanted you could get on a cart," she says. "Here the food truck industry was booming, but I noticed the only thing you could get on a cart was hotdogs. That struck a chord in me and I started thinking about what else you could do." She wanted to appeal to both late-night crowds leaving bars as well as businesspeople passing in the mornings. "Biscuits seemed like a good medium," she says. "It all went from there."
Greer operates the Bertie's Biscuits cart downtown by the Ryman Auditorium, at Fifth and Commerce. The name was inspired by her great grandmother Bertie Greer, whose recipe inspired the traditional buttermilk biscuit Greer serves. Along with the buttermilk, she serves two flavored biscuits she created herself: a rosemary goat cheese biscuit and a cheddar and chive biscuit.
"I'm the one that's always out there so I get to hear good and bad news," she says. "Even someone saying, 'This is the best damn biscuit I've ever had' is gratifying and makes em realize why I'm doing it, even when I feel discouraged about it."
"It's exciting," she says. "I think anytime anyone puts something out there, whether it's food or their art or whatever their passion is, you wonder how people are going to perceive it. To hear positive feedback or even constructive criticism is exciting."
The biscuits have taken off with Nashville dwellers and visitors alike. "People are very excited and surprised – and maybe confused," she says. For some visitors who aren't from the south, it's not just that they're expecting a cart to have hot dogs, they may have never had a biscuit before. That confusion quickly turns to enthusiasm. "That's been exciting," she says, "to know that it's working."
Head downtown and grab your own, and in the meantime make your mouth water on their website and Instagram.

Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio
United States Supreme Court
Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio
Argued: January 6 and 7, 1915. --- Decided: February 23, 1915
Appeal from an order denying appellant, herein designated complainant, an interlocutory injunction sought to restrain the enforcement of an act of the general assembly of Ohio, passed April 16, 1913 (103 Ohio Laws, 399), creating under the authority and superintendence of the Industrial Commission of the state a board of censors of motion picture films. The motion was presented to three judges upon the bill, supporting affidavits, and some oral testimony.
The bill is quite voluminous. It makes the following attacks upon the Ohio statute: (1) The statute is in violation of §§ 5, 16, and 19 of article 1 of the Constitution of the state in that deprives complainant of a remedy by due process of law by placing it in the power of the board of censors to determine from standards fixed by itself what films conform to the statute, and thereby deprives complainant of a judicial determination of a violation of the law. (2) The statute is in violation of articles 1 and 14 of the Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and of § 11 of article 1 of the Constitution of Ohio, in that it restrains complainant and other persons from freely writing and publishing their sentiments. (3) It attempts to give the board of censors legislative power, which is vested only in the general assembly of the state, subject to a referendum vote of the people, in that it gives to the board the power to determine the application of the statute without fixing any standard by which the board shall be guided in its determination, and places it in the power of the board, acting with similar boards in other states, to reject, upon any whim or caprice, any film which may be presented, and power to determine the legal status of the foreign board or boards, in conjunction with which it is empowered to act.
The business of the complainant and the description, use, object, and effect of motion pictures and other films contained in the bill, stated narratively, are as follows: Complainant is engaged in the business of purchasing, selling, and leasing films, the films being produced in other states than Ohio, and in European and other foreign countries. The film consists of a series of instantaneous photographs or positive prints of action upon the stage or in the open. By being projected upon a screen with great rapidity there appears to the eye an illusion of motion. They depict dramatizations of standard novels, exhibiting many subjects of scientific interest, the properties of matter, the growth of the various forms of animal and plant life, and explorations and travels; also events of historical and current interest,-the same events which are described in words and by photographs in newspapers, weekly periodicals, magazines, and other publications, of which photographs are promptly secured a few days after the events which they depict happen; thus regularly furnishing and publishing news through the medium of motion pictures under the name of 'Mutual Weekly.' Nothing is depicted of a harmful or immoral character.
The complainant is selling and has sold during the past year for exhibition in Ohio an average of fifty-six positive prints of films per week to film exchanges doing business in that state, the average value thereof being the sum of* $100, aggregating $6,000 per week, or $300,000 per annum.
In addition to selling films in Ohio, complainant has a film exchange in Detroit, Michigan, from which it rents or leases large quantities to exhibitors in the latter state and in Ohio. The business of that exchange and those in Ohio is to purchase films from complainant and other manufacturers of films and rent them to exhibitors for short periods at stated weekly rentals. The amount of rentals depends upon the number of reels rented, the frequency of the changes of subject, and the age or novelty of the reels rented. The frequency of exhibition is described. It is the custom of the business, observed by all manufacturers, that a subject shall be released or published in all theaters on the same day, which is known as release day, and the age or novelty of the film depends upon the proximity of the day of exhibition to such release day. Films so shown have never been shown in public, and the public to whom they appeal is therefore unlimited. Such public becomes more and more limited by each additional exhibition of the reel.
The amount of business in renting or leasing from the Detroit exchange for exhibition in Ohio aggregates the sum of $1,000 per week.
Complainant has on hand at its Detroit exchange at least 2,500 reels of films which it intends to and will exhibit in Ohio, and which it will be impossible to exhibit unless the same shall have been approved by the board of censors. Other exchanges have films, duplicate prints of a large part of complainant's films, for the purpose of selling and leasing to parties residing in Ohio, and the statute of the state will require their examination and the payment of a fee therefor. The amounts of complainant's purchases are stated, and that complainant will be compelled to bear the expense of having them censored because its customers will not purchase or hire uncensored films.
The business of selling and leasing films from its offices outside of the state of Ohio to purchasers and exhibitors within the state is interstate commerce, which will be seriously burdened by the exaction of the fee for censorship, which is not properly an inspection tax, and the proceeds of which will be largely in excess of the cost of enforcing the statute, and will in no event be paid to the Treasury of the United States.
The board has demanded of complainant that it submit its films to censorship, and threatens, unless complainant complies with the demand, to arrest any and all persons who seek to place on exhibition any film not so censored or approved by the censor congress on and after November 4, 1913, the date to which the act was extended. It is physically impossible to comply with such demand and physically impossible for the board to censor the films with such rapidity as to enable complainant to proceed with its business, and the delay consequent upon such examination would cause great and irreparable injury to such business, and would involve a multiplicity of suits.
There were affidavits filed in support of the bill and some testimony taken orally. One of the affidavits showed the manner of shipping and distributing the films, and was as follows:
'The films are shipped by the manufacturers to the film exchanges inclosed in circular metal boxes, each of which metal boxes is in turn inclosed in a fiber or wooden container. The film is in most cases wrapped around a spool or core in a circle within the metal case. Sometimes the film is received by the film exchange wound on a reel, which consists of a cylindrical core with circular flanges to prevent the film from slipping off the core, and when so wound on the reel is also received in metal boxes, as above described. When the film is not received on a reel, it is, upon receipt, taken from the metal box, wound on a reel, and then replaced in the metal box. So wound and so inclosed in metal boxes, the films are shipped by the film exchanges to their customers. The customers take the film as it is wound on the reel from the metal box, and exhibit the pictures in their projecting machines, which are so arranged as to permit of the unwinding of the film from the reel on which it is shipped. During exhibition, the reel of film is unwound from one reel and rewound in reverse order on a second reel. After exhibition, it must be again unwound from the second reel from its reverse position and replaced on the original reel in its proper position. After the exhibitions for the day are over, the film is replaced in the metal box and returned to the film exchange, and this process is followed from day to day during the life of the film.
'All shipments of films from manufacturers to film exchanges, from film exchanges to exhibitors, and from exhibitors back to film exchanges, are made in accordance with regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission, one of which provides as follows:
"Moving picture films must be placed in metal cases, packed in strong and tight wooden boxes of fiber pails."
Another of the affidavits divided the business as follows:
'The motion picture business is conducted in three branches; that is to say, by manufacturers, distributers, and exhibitors, the distributers being known as film exchanges. . . . Film is manufactured and produced in lengths of about 1,000 feet, which are placed on reels, and the market price per reel of film of a thousand feet in length is at the rate of 10 cents per foot, or $100. Manufacturers do not sell their film direct to exhibitors, but sell to film exchanges, and the film exchanges do not resell the film to exhibitors, but rent it out to them.'
After stating the popularity of motion pictures, and the demand of the public for new ones, and the great expense their purchase would be to exhibitors, the affidavit proceeds as follows:
'For that reason film exchanges came into existence, and film exchanges such as the Mutual Film Corporation are like clearing houses or circulating libraries, in that they purchase the film and rent it out to different exhibitors. One reel of film being made to-day serves in many theaters from day to day until it is worn out. The film exchange, in renting out the films, supervises their circulation.'
An affidavit was filed, made by the 'general secretary of the national board of censorship of motion pictures, whose office is at No. 50 Madison Avenue, New York city.' The 'national board,' it is averred, 'is an organization maintained by voluntary contributions, whose object is to improve the moral quality of motion pictures.' Attached to the affidavit was a list of subjects submitted to the board which are 'classified according to the nature of said subjects into scenic, geographic, historical, classical, and educational and propagandistic.' Messrs. William B. Sanders, Walter N. Seligsberg, and Harold T. Clark for appellant.
Messrs. Waldo G. Morse and Jacob Schechter as amici curiae.
[Argument of Counsel from pages 236-239 intentionally omitted]
Messrs. Robert M. Morgan, Clarence D. Laylin, James I. Boulger, and Mr. Timothy S. Hogan, Attorney General of Ohio, for appellees.
Mr. Justice McKenna, after stating the case as above, delivered the opinion of the court:
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).

John Mayer Quit Alcohol For Weed
American singer-songwriter, John Mayer, confirmed in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, and later via his Twitter account, that he had quit drinking in favor of marijuana. When asked why he chose weed over booze, Mayer explained that "The quality of life has gone up considerably," he said. "Drinking is a fucking con." Given the significant potential side-effects from alcohol use, it comes as little surprise that there are those who would ditch alcohol and replace it with the green stuff. What are your thoughts on weed vs alcohol? Do you believe that both can be enjoyed, in moderation? Let us know in the comments below.
A year ago this week, John Mayer ditched alcohol for weed. While we're all for people making healthier life choices, we're curious. What brought about this change in lifestyle?
John Mayer
John Mayer is an American singer and songwriter. He started playing guitar at age 17, favoring the blues-rock genre. His musical career started in the late '90s, playing in coffee shops and indie venues with his friend, with whom he dropped out of college. In 2000, he achieved commercial success and was signed to the record label Aware. He later signed with Columbia Records. In 2003, he won a Grammy for his hit song "Your Body Is A Wonderland."
Mayer enjoyed an upward trajectory of both artistic, commercial and social success for the next ten years. In 2010, however, his image was tarnished by two highly controversial interviews with Playboy and Rolling Stone. In the interviews, he made several racist comments and referred to his ex-girlfriend, Jessica Simpson, as "sexual napalm." After the fallout from the interviews, he withdrew from the media. Between 2010 and 2013, Mayer needed to take a musical hiatus to treat and recover from a granuloma on his vocal cords.
In recent years, Mayer seems to have grown as a person. He owns up to his past mistakes and is working diligently to be better. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, and later confirmed on his Twitter account, he disclosed that he has quit drinking in favor of a less destructive substance. Yup. John Mayer ditched alcohol for weed.
Alcohol Vs Weed
In the interview, Mayer explained that he's replaced booze for pot. "The quality of life has gone up considerably," he said. "Drinking is a fucking con." The 40-year-old singer-songwriter commemorated the one-year anniversary of his break-up with alcohol on Twitter earlier this week.
The choice makes sense to us. After all, study after study shows that alcohol is exponentially worse for your health than weed is. And we're talking about both physical and mental health here. Not only do you not have to worry about physical health risks like liver damage and getting so intoxicated that you literally die when you smoke weed. There's also evidence showing that cannabis doesn't negatively alter the brain structure, whereas alcohol does.
Final Hit: John Mayer Ditched Alcohol For Weed
John Mayer isn't the only person who could benefit from replacing alcohol with cannabis. Experts in addiction seem to agree that weed can actually effectively treat addiction to a variety of substances. Including alcohol. So not only is cannabis better for both your mind and your body, it can also help get you on the right track if you are struggling with substance abuse issues.
On a larger scale, the fact that John Mayer is publicly talking about his personal weed use is fantastic. The fact that he is lauding cannabis as a positive replacement for alcohol is even better. People underestimate the power of celebrities. But when a person with as much star power as John Mayer openly discusses a still-controversial topic like this, others pay attention. Hopefully, his statements will inspire others to ditch booze for weed.

Clearly, my 10th year of blogging was my absolute worst... just 12 posts. Pathetic. But right now I'm up to my eyes in work and juggling three jobs, plus I decided to return to uni this year and have just started a part-time BA in English Lit.
Lots of reading.
LOTS of reading.
Very little time for blogging.
I am doing my very best to keep up with my One Line A Day and I am still managing the odd Twitter or Instagram, so feel free to keep up with me on any of those, should you so wish.
For now, magicalsmusings is calling it a day. Thanks for reading.

Earn Extra Pocket Money Sell Old Cell Phone Handsets For Cash
If you are like so many people out there, you probably have all of your old cellular phones hanging around your house in a variety of drawers, or perhaps you have an old box of them. Why do we seem to hold onto these things long after we have decided that there is a better product for us on the market? For many of us it simply does not dawn on us that we could earn a bit of pocket money and sell old cell phone units for cash. the fact of the matter is that many of those telephones that we have in drawers and boxes can make us an extra bit of pocket money.
You may have heard of the programs online that will allow you to sell old cell phone units for cash. This is a great idea. Some of these programs will even pay you within two days of when you offer it to them. However, if you care at all about the worth of your phone, you will probably not want to go with these programs. the fact of the matter is that you need to go with a program that will actually take into consideration the type of device you have. the reason that you would not want to go with one of these programs is because they usually pay low, flat rates for all of the units. Why should you settle for a flat rate when you have an expensive top of the line product? if you have a newer Blackberry, why would you want to accept the same price as those who have a bottom of the line Nokia?
There are some other options that will allow you to sell old cell phone units for a better price. These programs don't pay out as fast, so they are not as appealing to some consumers. the programs that make a bit more sense if you have a cellular telephone that is actually worth something take about 30 days to pay you for the items you send out. the reason that they take longer to pay is that they inspect every single phone individually to give you the best deal for the units. While this type of program takes longer, you can usually make more of a profit in the end.
If you would like the opportunity to sell old cell phone units to one of these programs, visit http://www.sellyouroldcellphone.com. This is a website that takes a bit longer to pay, usually about 30 days, but makes it very simple to get rid of all of the cellular telephones in your home and get cash for items you don't even use anymore. in addition, the company offers a solid recycling policy for unusable phones in order to protect and preserve the environment.

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the brisk mornings, the almost warm afternoons, and the cold evenings. I love the smell of the cold. I love the colors of the leaves. I love cider and snuggling under blankets. I love flannel pants and slippers. I love having the excuse of it being cold outside to drink coffee all day long!
This morning when I left the house, it was around 28 degrees. It was cold and frosty. When I shut the door, my attention was drawn away from heading to the car by a sound I don't think I've really ever heard, or at least noticed. Our house tucks up against some woods. In the spring and summer that is bad news. It makes a nice haven for the mosquitoes, which are insufferable. Over the last few weeks, they have turned beautiful golds, browns, and reds. it is great. But, this morning, the leaves were raining down. The cold frost had encouraged the leaves over night to give up their lofty place and come to earth. In the process of their descent, they were bumping into everything and creating quite a noise. It was not deafening, but it was certainly noticeable enough to capture my sleepy, un-coffee'd attention.
While fall and the cold brings me much joy and peace, it does however cause much trouble inside. When the weather turns cold, most run to the thermostat and crank on the heat--one of my friends mentioned today that his house was a balmy 72 degrees today (to his defense, his mother was staying with him for a few days). That's not our house. My wife, otherwise known as the heat miser, always makes an attempt to not turn the heat on before November 1st. We have a few friends who also try to do this--in an attempt to save some heating dollars for later on in the year when it's actually really cold here in MI. One of their rules is that they don't turn their heat on till the shampoo freezes. I secretly think my wife waits as long as she can because she hates the smell of the furnace running the first few times as it burns off all the dust and junk from sitting idle for months.
Sometimes October treats us well, sometimes not. This has been a not year. This morning when I got up it was 52 degrees in the house. Its a great sleeping temperature. You put on the flannel pants, a sweatshirt, and dive under a load of covers, one hopefully being a granny quilt. Its great! However, as I sit here at the dining room table blogging and working, I can't feel the tip of my nose and my legs have that hot but cold feeling. You know, the feeling you have when you come in out of the cold and you just barely start to warm up. I think my hot tea even has ice in it now. You can feel the cold in the air. Its just not right.
They are calling for highs in the 40s by the end of the week. I don't think we're going to make it till November 1st.

For today's card, I wanted to create a bit of an elegant tone-on-tone effect. I think it turned out really lovely.
I started by stamping a piece of Cherry Red cardstock from Gina K. Designs with the Peace Love and Doves background stamp from Catherine Pooler Designs. I stamped the image with VersaMark ink then heat it set it using clear embossing powder. This gave me the tone-on-tone look I wanted for this card. If you have a red embossing powder, you could use that as well.
After letting the embossing cool, I trimmed the panel down 3-7/8 x 5-1/8″. I mounted it on a top-folding card base made from ivory cardstock, also from Gina K., using tape runner adhesive.
For the sentiment, I used the Merry Christmas word die and shadow die from the recent Home for the Holidays Stamp of Approval collection. I die cut the words three dies from the same red cardstock and the shadow once from the ivory. Since the word dies are so delicate, I applied some Stick It adhesive to the back of the cardstock before I ran it through my Big Shot. This made it so much easier to adhere the words together to stack them. Once they were all stacked, I adhered them to the shadow then adhered that to the card.
I hope you've enjoyed this tone-on-tone look today. I'll be back again soon with another card to hopefully inspire you.
Until next time …

Petra very kindly allowed us to use her fabulous garden as a base for our workshop today.
Members and friends had the opportunity to discover and explore many different compositional rules that can turn the ordinary into the unusual, the everyday into something much more visually grabbing.
Here is Petra finding out more about about each of the rules outlined in Ona's introductory class.
The class were then given time to try out each of the compositional ideas for themselves through sketching...
to get fun, visually grabbing references
There was plenty of fun and laughter too :)
Lastly we came together to look at each others work and Ona helped us to see how the references or sketches could be modified and then used for possible paintings.
If you missed this event. Please keep watching this blog for news about our next summer fun day which will happen during July.
