A happy family is but an earlier heaven. - John Bowring. Wednesday, December 22, 2010. You might notice a few repeats from last year. I'm trying to be less lofty this year - we'll see how well I do. 1 Set up automatic transfer for all bills (90% done, but I’ve been dragging my feet on a couple of accounts for which I have to mail in a voided check). 2 Set up automatic transfer to Anna's college fund. 3 Cook one meal a week (I am lucky and have a husband who cooks! 9 Take Anna to Disneyland. 12 Join a CSA.

A happy family is but an earlier heaven. - John Bowring. Friday, November 5, 2010. On my to-do list. As my birthday is next month, I was looking at my 32 for 32 list.

Team Hartwell: October 2010

http://teamhartwell.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

A happy family is but an earlier heaven. - John Bowring. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. The perfect post-carving snack! Wash and dry pumpkin seeds. Spread out on a rimmed cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350*. Take out of the oven and pour 1/4 cup veg oil over the seeds to lightly coat. Then mix in toppings. Last year we tried garlic salt plus cayenne pepper. This year we used cinnamon and sugar. Mix in about 2 tsp. of whatever type of toppings you choose. Is anyone still here? The following week, I ha...

A happy family is but an earlier heaven. - John Bowring. Tuesday, June 29, 2010. The above photo features Miss Anna playing with what I believe is a bottle of ketchup from her kitchen set. I really need to get up some more shots of her adventures with her kitchen and table/chairs. I thought she was a little young for that type of play but she absolutely loves them! Let's see, other goings-on. We are so excited that our dear friends. And, we are looking forward to the upcoming 3-day weekend, too. Now ...

Team Hartwell: Advent celebrations

http://teamhartwell.blogspot.com/2010/12/this-will-be-annas-second-christmas-but.html

A happy family is but an earlier heaven. - John Bowring. Friday, December 17, 2010. This will be Anna's second Christmas - but it's the first year we have used her Advent calendar. Last year she was too little to walk, much less hang ornaments. But this year she's got it down! Anna's calendar was given by two of her favorite aunties and filled with homemade ornaments made at my baby shower. And here is Anna last night, hanging ornament #16 on the tree:. For this precious gift! I've been reading up on oth...

Team Hartwell: thirty-two for 32

http://teamhartwell.blogspot.com/2009/12/thirty-two-for-32.html

A happy family is but an earlier heaven. - John Bowring. Monday, December 21, 2009. I got this idea from my friend Emilie. Though other friends have followed suit) and, since tomorrow is my 32nd birthday (! I thought I’d share my goals (big and small) for the coming year with you all:. Sew a simple project—pillow cover, drapes, apron, etc. Learn how to roast a chicken. I am told this is easy; for some reason it intimidates me). Lose 20 more pounds. Start a college fund for Anna. Sorry, Mom and Dad).

http://teamhartwell.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

A happy family is but an earlier heaven. - John Bowring. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Long time no post. Life has been immensely crazy in the last few weeks. Anna has been sick. (She’s on the mend, assuming she doesn’t share her mama’s allergy to amoxicillin! We are going up to the Twin Cities this weekend for the baby shower of dear friends and plenty of family time too (so excited! Seth has been busy with Santa Fe rehearsals/performance of Haydn’s. And, work has been insane (I was on the news! Last week w...

Team Hartwell: Happy Advent!

http://teamhartwell.blogspot.com/2010/12/happy-advent.html

A happy family is but an earlier heaven. - John Bowring. Thursday, December 2, 2010. We've been up to quite a few things lately! Anna's crib got turned into a big girl bed. She likes it. A lot. I had my gallbladder out. It went extremely well, and I had very pleasant company. We went to our good friends' annual St. Cecelia party. Named for the patron saint of musicians, at which we drink a lot of wine and sing songs around the piano, usually at the same time). We decorated our tree. Gifts in the rubble.
