I got up early this morning to see the Blood Moon eclipse, but I couldn’t see it. Apparently, the moon was only barely above the horizon. In the hilly area where I live, I couldn’t find a spot to see it. Oh well. But I got this picture this morning from my youngest brother. He … More Happy Blood Moon Holi Pi Day!
Laissez les bons temps rouler! Let the good times roll! It’s the third holiday in a week. So even I, the ultimate holiday celebrator, am a bit worn out. So tonight, instead of making a big dish (I’m still eating the leftovers from Losar and Ramadan), I made a Shrimp Po’ Boy sandwich. It celebrates … More Happy Mardi Gras!
I’ve often mentioned that John and Hank Green are some of my real-life heroes. I relied heavily on their free Crash Course videos when I was homeschooling. At the end of each video, John would say, “Don’t forget to be awesome.” So this Sunday morning, I wanted to share that wisdom with my readers by … More Don’t Forget to Be Blissful!

Synchronicity is a concept developed by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung about what he called “meaningful coincidences”—events that line up in a way that feels too connected to be random. Most of us have had an experience like thinking about a … More Celebrate Hallowalimuertos With Me
Today in my home town of Cary, NC, they are having the nation’s ONLY Pimento Cheese Festival. I believe this is the first large scale version of this Festival since pre-COVID. They have live music and a pimento cheese sculpturing contest and other activities. But mostly, they have a LOT of food with pimento cheese. … More Sad Trombone WAH WAH. I Don’t Get to Eat Spicy Pimento Cheese Ice Cream Today.
Another post in the saga of my food detox program (click here to read about that).

I told my friends that a solar eclipse is like a National Homeschoolers holiday. Homeschoolers LOVE things like this…natural events that students can see and participate in and study from so many angles. When the last one in our area happened in 2017, we OF COURSE got glasses and watched it, but we also made … More Hope You Had a Happy Eclipse Day!
