a working mom
so things are still moving along here. Some things we have been up to include:
Getting an iphone.
To me that seems a little bit superfluous, but I have been surprised how much I use it and how quickly it has become indispensable to me. I may actually get more blog posts, as the pics from it are great. (this one of M at the park was taken on my phone!) I dont carry a day timer, but the calendar is totally great. I mean, I actually remember to bring this thing a long with me, and I find I am doing my errands and bits and pieces while the kids play in the park… so that when they are in bed, I can actually rest… rather than do research on the internet… so I am really loving it.
Marketing
My brain is working over-time trying to think of ways to let people know about my little art school. I have been knocking on doors to tell people in my neighborhood as I think its the most direct way to inform people. At first I was a little apprehensive about going up to people’s houses. But every time I finish a day of talking to people I feel so full of respect for folks, and appreciation for just how simply nice people are. Its amazing how lovely everyone is with me. I get the most encouragement from people I dont even know. So thats really great.
Playing
yes, there has been a little time for playing. Going to the park here and there, visiting science world, the Bow river, Edworthy Park, Sandy Beach park (where there is, sadly, no beach… but lots of trees!) Its been a good couple weeks home.

We went down to Bowness Park last Sunday. Neither of us had really been there in the summer before (rather winter for skating) and we found it quite pleasant with the ponds and canals where you can paddle around in a canoe or paddle-boat, walk on the paths down to the river and make use of the picnic areas. We also crossed the river to Beaumont Park, a more natural area with walking, biking & off-leash dog paths.
