Haute Mamas

Last Day of School

It's not really the first day of school that gets to me. Not usually anyway, but last year the tears did sneak up unexpectedly when I left Marek in the kind hands of preschool for the first time. For whatever reason, not even known to me, it's the last day of school that has me all … more

Let's Get Dirty

A surprise in every seed

I've planted hundreds of seeds. Actually, in the last decade, I've probably planted thousands of seeds, from flowers to veggies, fruits and herbs. I should not be so surprised and pleased every time a seed sprouts and those little green leaves (or maroon, if you're planting … more

What's in a Word

Gods of sleep

  The headline of an ad today on page 5A made me resolve to hit the gym tonight but also reminded me of the god behind the word “hypnosis.” In Greek mythology Hypnos was the god of sleep. His Roman counterpart was Somnus, and from his name comes the adjective … more

Breakfast for Dinner

We HEART chick flicks, particularly ones with Tom Hanks and Colin Firth

As our Chick Flick March Madness project ends, it’s time for Rachel and I to address our favorites. After all, our love of these movies is the reason why we did this project. First things first, here are my Final Four: “You’ve Got Mail” versus “Win a Date with … more

The Outdoor Junkie

Stop and Smell the Sagebrush
