it's true, my collection of children's books keeps growing. but how cool is this vintage cinderella storybook? it's so big! and the illustrations are beautiful. if you had seen it laying amongst the meaningless rabble of paperbacks.. if you had held it in your hands and felt the frailty of the pages, you'd have to have it too.
well, today grant went back to school (teachers only). summer vacation has ended, and i'm ready to embrace that fact.
while we're on the subject of school, i'm re-thinking how i want to do grant's sack lunches this year. i'd like to give him more variety, less lunch meat, and cut out insubstantial stuff. like, no more processed crackers and granola bars. (granola bars solved here.) i like the idea of roasting a whole chicken and setting the meat aside for sandwiches, using leftovers, and i'm gung-ho about all homemade bread this year. and i loved this post on the subject. any ideas you have are more than welcome.. i'll be right here, getting creative.
ps. this reminds me. i really want to talk more about food. the way i think about it, what i've learned lately, how i've changed, etc. it's really been on my mind. so expect a big time post, sometime soon.
