Valencia is the third largest city in Spain. It is about an hour and a half train ride from Barcelona and I heard it had a nice beach. What I didn't realize was how amazing the modern architecture is. The boys and I spent a couple of days exploring the many public gardens, parks and buildings. We had a great time at the beach which was populated with more locals, than tourists. Several people struck up conversations with me and the monkeys and it was an overall friendly and nice place to visit.<br />

Parc Gulliver, based on the story of Gulliver's Travels was one of the coolest playgrounds I've ever seen. The enormous replica of Gulliver laying on the ground was connected with seemingly hundreds of slides. The signs for the bathrooms above made us laugh. <br />

The beach was a highlight. For starters it was awesome to swim in the Mediterranean Sea (the boys did go into the water in Barcelona but it was so crowded it wasn't relaxing.) This beach was beautiful, well maintained and the weather was perfect.<br />

Dr. J and I were there a few years ago and it was a visually stimulating experience as well as a culinary high-light. Taking the boys to Barcelona gave me a totally difference perspective from the romantic images I shared with my husband. For starters it was not a culinary delight as the boys preferred eating various croissants, panini’s and baguette sandwiches to the salted fish, marinated olives and various cured meats. It was also harder to appreciate the architecture when I was constantly looking out for the boys instead of enjoying an extraordinary facade. </b></span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have reached the phase that I always knew was coming. My boys eat, a lot. Gone are the days where we can order a child size meal at a restaurant. They now both eat more than I do in a sitting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love to cook and I love to cook a lot at one time and freeze foods to use later. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually bake my <a href="http://ladyofthearts.blogspot.com/2011/01/no-knead-bread.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>
No-Knead Bread</b></span></a> twice a week, three to four loaves at a time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I give a loaf away to friends and neighbors and freeze one for the weeks I don't have time to make it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also make pizza crust which freezes well and dinner rolls. </div>

I buy and we eat a lot of bananas. In fact, I tell the monkeys that the 'kitchen is closed' between meals and that the only 'snack' they can have is fruit. A banana is a sure bet to fill them up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We freeze the brown bananas and make either ice cream (just blend over rip bananas and freeze) or banana bread which we eat as 'picnic' meals or for breakfast. I make four at a time and then slice three of them up and freeze in easy to defrost slices. </div>

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Since we started homeschooling (in September we started year 2!) the monkeys usually eat a large breakfast every mornings. Also Dr J started a new job this summer and starts work later a couple days a week- thus allowing us to have a family breakfast. Here are some photos of 'what we eat'.<br />

I have wanted to see this show for many years. I first tried to see it when my youngest was still a baby and Dr. J and I were in New York. The timing didn't work and we didn't see it. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I read the book by <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Gregory Maguire titled Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (1995) when it first came out. It tells the 'other side of the story' from the point of view of the wicked witch, set in a modern contemporary, fictional world. (Where it is not normal to be born green, per say, but animals talk and magic is real). </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">We finally saw the show in Las Vegas where it was playing at the new Smith Center for Performing Arts. I absolutely loved the show and felt it was well worth the (several year) wait.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">The actors were amazing, the singing and choreography flawless and the costumes inspirational. If you have not read the book, as Dr. J hadn't, you might also be amused with the clever take on how events really transpired to make this poor green woman seem wicked. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">I love watching live performances and despite not being the hugest fan of Broadway musicals I enjoyed every moment of this two and a half hour show.</span><br />

It was not until the last few years that I started eating kimchi, a Korean variation of fermented cabbage. I decided to make my own and could not be happier with the results. I love to eat it as a condiment or even on a slice of bread. <br />

This film really reminds me of the notion that I would never want to be young again. I would never want to be in my teens or even my twenties and go through all the transitions that come with that time period. This film is written, directed and stared in by Lena Dunham. This low budget coming of age story is a retrospective look of the life of a post graduate woman, who is really a little girl, returning to her mothers Soho apartment and refusing to grow up. The film is cast with Lena's own mother, sister and friends. Her mother is artist Laurie Simmons and the loft in the film is really her mothers loft.<br />
The film won the Best First Screenplay award at the 2010 Independent Spirit Awards. <br />
I oscillated between wanting to smack her, thanking my lucky stars I don't have a daughter and cringing at the admission that I was not much different, in many ways, at that age.<br />

Love, love, love this book. It made me laugh out loud on almost every page, unless it made me cry. <br />
I was LOLing so much and Dr. J was SO jealous that he didn't want to be in the same room as me when I was reading it. (He just started reading it now that I'm done and when he LOL's I excitedly ask him what part he's at- I'm pretty sure that is not as annoying as it might sound).<br />
<b>Dave Hill</b> is a comedian, writer, musician and actor. He has an HBO show which you can watch on Hulu and I had never heard of him until I read his book. <br />
<b>Tasteful Nudes</b> is a collections of (apparently true) essays from his life. He is fucking hilarious and I can't wait for everyone to read it so we can talk about it. <br />

Medicine is made in origami shapes which dissolve in water. My monkeys are older and able to swallow pills but they would probably enjoy watching these dissolve none-the-less. <br />
What is even more interesting is the concept of gratitude, while waiting for your medicine to dissolve. Gratitude for having the luxury of being able to afford and access medicine. <br />

After completing a year of homeschooling successfully (by which I mean we are all still alive!) I am empowered to delve deeper into certain subjects. I enjoy the concept of the recreation of a myth or story influenced by various cultures. I came across this artists rendition of the Wizard Of Oz with an Asian perspective.<br />

I didn't get a good photo of them burning but just set the end on fire and wave it around or blow gently on the embers. I use one smudge for about four cleanses. I walk around the house, getting each room and corner, with stop off in the bathrooms and kitchen to shake off ashes. Usually just walking around briskly will produce enough smoke, I try not to blow on it directly unless I'm over a sink so as to avoid ash damage or staining. Feel free to meditate on your cleanse or declare your intentions. </div>

The photos were shot over a long weekend and the set was designed with the help of volunteers. The models, made to look like dolls do a fantastic job of creating expressionless faces while showing so much emotion. The set is presently in storage and will be set up at the gallery opening of the show.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Looking toward the future these pizza vending machines are definitely something my monkeys would get a kick out of. I guess it beats a sub in a can and they apparently use organic ingredients which makes it seem like it might be healthy?! These have been serving the European public and are set to be introduced in the US this summer. </span></span><br />

We do a lot of rock collecting over here. I've enjoyed collecting rocks since I was a kid and when I met Dr. J I was introduced to a whole subculture of buying rocks and crystals. Needless to say everywhere we go our family ends up bringing rocks, fossils and crystals home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the feel of a smooth rock and remember hearing the concept of 'Gratitude Rock' from the book The Secret. The concept is that by having a tangible object to remind you and help you focus your gratitude, you will attract good energy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to combine my love of words with some smooth rocks and make gratitude rocks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought these adhesive stickers at Target and rubbed them onto smooth rocks. For rocks that were not as smooth I simply brushed on a layer of Mod Podge first and let it dry before adding the adhesive and repeating the step. </div>

I'm pretty happy with the final result, especially with the Red Rock which we find plenty of close to home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be mailing these to friends and family with thank you notes as needed. </div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Gabriel Dawe is a Mexican born artist residing in Dallas. Now on show at the PEEL gallery in Houston is his large scale installations from his Plexus Series. Colorful thread crosses the room from top to bottom filling the space with ethereal rainbows. Using just thread and wood, Dawe polychrome threads are reminiscent of the fabric arts in traditional clothing found in South and Central America. </span></span></div>

These photographs taken by Lithuanian born photographer Tadao Cern catch the facial expressions of his models while being subjected high force winds. Somewhat appropriately titled 'Blow Job' I still didn't feel comfortable putting this as the title to this post. <br />

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Finca Ixobel is an ecolodge located in the northern jungles of Guatemala. Our family spent four wonderful days relaxing, swimming, hiking and eating unbelievably delicious food. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">This self sufficient community was founded by Carole DeVine and Michael Devine, two Americans who travelled in down to Central America in search of a perfect piece of land to purchase. Since they bought the 400 acres in 1971 the community has evolved to house several houses, outbuilding, barns, natural swim lake, cabins and campgrounds. The vibe of this place is like no other. I attribute it to the fact that each detail has been lovingly hand created with the help of volunteers from around the world. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">It is possible to volunteer at the ecolodge for room and board. We stayed as guests but the boys dove right in to volunteering with the animals. They woke up every morning at 6:30 (often while Dr. J and I slept!) and gathered for the morning meeting where responsibilities were assigned and they worked with the horses, chickens and even fed the turtles one morning. It was with a great sense of pride that my youngest gathered the chicken eggs each morning and brought them to the kitchen to be used for the days meals.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Ways that Finca Ixobel is eco friendly include it’s self sufficient water supply from natural springs on the property. They use a RAM PUMP SYSTEM which doesn’t use any energy source save the water and air pressure. There is a solar clothes dryer. All the food is composted and they use velmiculture (red worms) to produce black dirt. There has been an ongoing reforestation program to plant native plants and fruit trees. </span><br />

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The natural swimming pond is a spring fed and chemical free. There are several hammock huts around the swimming pond as well as a floating dock and water slide. To say I enjoyed spending time in the hammocks is an understatement. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">We stayed in a Deluxe Cabin which was a free standing building on stilts. The private bathroom was downstairs and our room consisted of three double beds with mosquito netting as well as a balcony with a private hammock and table with stools. Needless to say it was perfect. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">The meals were all served with an honor system. You could help yourself to many foods and drinks during the day and just record it in the binder under your name. The evening meal was a family style meal which usually included two choices of main dishes, several side dishes and salads as well as a vegetarian option. Everything was either produced on site or bought locally so it was all seasonal. We often ate by candle light and my boys were the official dinner bell ringers during our stay. Carol the owner and her daughter joined us for most meals and it was very interesting to sit and talk with her, as well as volunteers and guests from around the world. </span><br />

Maybe it's the calm quiet that surrounds them or the many stories of lives that are left behind. <br />
The monkeys love to go fossil hunting around the Mojave Desert where there are several abandoned mining towns. Some of them are really remote and hard to get to which makes me nervous. Others have been made into 'Old West' touristy towns and a lot of the solitude that draws me is lost. <br />
We are in the midst of mapping out and planing a few excursions in the coming months to some abandoned (read quiet) ghost towns. <br />
Here are some ghost towns around the world that I would love to visit:<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">When I was in high school I remember hearing this quote: </span></div>
<div style="color: #333233; font: 12.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><i><b>Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="color: #333233; font: 12.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">This quote had an effect on me and I vowed to not use the phrase ‘<i>I don’t have enough time</i>’. Really when you say ‘<i>I don’t have enough time</i>’ what you are saying is ‘<i>I’m prioritizing and this/that is not a priority</i>’. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333233; font: 12.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">In the past few years and especially since I started homeschooling, I have given myself permission to not feel bad when my priorities knock something off the list of things that were supposed to be done that day. Disappointing others is more forgivable than disappointing yourself. Balancing my health and happiness means that sometimes I have to postpone a play date, leave the lunch dishes out or not drop off the overdue videos at the library.<br />
I think it is important to not make excuses for the things that <b><i>should</i></b> matter to you the most. For me it would be reading, writing, blogging, getting exercise, making my family dinner, hosting dinner parties and a load of of things. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333233; font: 12.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">With advances in technology I think we are generally afforded <i><b>more</b></i> time in our day. My IPhone and GPS alone have saved me heaps of time. I though this chart was neat: if employees data collection was more efficient then they would have an extra two hours a day. <br />If there was a chart like this for Stay At Home Moms and a laundry machine was invented that say sorted, washed, dried, folded and then put clothes away, then I might get an extra two hours. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333233; font: 12.0px Verdana; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 18.0px 0.0px;">
IF I had an extra two hours a day I think I would like to either spend more time doing the things I already enjoy doing OR perhaps organize our photos (which is not an excuse, just not a priority). </div>
