lately, Saturdays have been completely out-of-my-ordinary. generally they make me crazy…two or three stressful cakes, running errands, catching up… the recent change is hard to get used to, actually. last week, i sat on the couch the ENTIRE DAY (after an hour and a half delivering a cake) and watched movie after movie. i don’t know what […]
thanksgiving day
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Family Life, Food on November 29, 2014
this day did not begin quite as i expected. you know those days when, out of nowhere, you get slammed with a cold you thought you had escaped? welcome to my Thanksgiving morning (because i seriously hope it wasn’t your Thanksgiving morning). it was that weird sore-throat-in-the-back-and-top-of-my-mouth-where-i-couldn’t-swallow-or-clear-my-throat. annoying. but, i needed to finish the cakes, […]

Posted by malindar in All About Mindy on May 3, 2014
yep. that’s right. i said “tatas” in my post title. i know. it maybe pushed your buttons a little. ok. i’m fine with that. you know why? yesterday pushed my buttons. like…whoa. let’s back up. last October, i turned 40. 40 brings on its own set of challenges, not the least of which includes new […]
messy brain.
Posted by malindar in Uncategorized on February 25, 2014
my brain is a little bit of a mess lately. (i know. you’re thinking, “lately??”) messy brain leads to lack of blogging. lack of focus. lack of memory. messy brain leads to…lack of pretty much everything. you know what helps messy brain? nope. me either. i’ve tried different techniques to deal with messy […]
thinking.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Life, Reflection, Writing on January 31, 2014
have you ever noticed that when you sit down to write something which will eventually receive a) a grade or b)a potential critique…you write more intently and more intentionally than you would if you were sitting down to write yourself a note? think back to college. high school, even. you write yourself a note–something you […]
play.

more unschooling thoughts…there are always more, of course, but…in an effort to keep you up to date with my thinking…today my friend Ralph referred me to this article. Dr. Peter Gray, research bio-psychologist, has some wise, wise words. and while my children may be out of the official “play” stage as one would think of […]
control.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Life, Reflection on January 23, 2014
i don’t really think of myself as a control freak. i like to know what’s going on, i like to have a firm grasp on my reality. but i don’t think i’m a control freak. (my children would disagree, i’m sure.) (and maybe a few other people.) (i digress.) things have felt pretty seriously out […]
question.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Life, Reflection on January 21, 2014
i have a question for you: when someone presents information to someone you love that flies in the face of what you believe and makes your heart race…what do YOU do?? and just for kicks, what do you do when, after deciding to move on and let it go because it’s not worth your stress, […]
enough.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Life, Reflection on January 20, 2014
lest anyone think that because i’ve been posting so often lately, i must always have deep, deep thoughts which may eventually become blog posts… …i am not thinking deeply today. actually, i’m maybe not thinking at all. (yeah, right.) i need days like that, though. and those days… they are few and far between. have […]
