Free Fun Fridays are Back!

      Every summer the Highland Foundation works with sponsors to bring free admissions to various museums and historical sites in Massachusetts. This year's list has been released, and I am so excited!
June 28 Plimoth Plantation has free admission, July 12 the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Springfield museums, July 26 the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum...the list goes on and on!
       I am planning on treating myself to an outing to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the Emily Dickinson Museum, and the whole family will be going to the Franklin Park Zoo and the EcoTarium in Worcester in August. If my husband and I can squeeze in another Friday off, we may go to the Museum of Fine Arts, because, well, why not??? He is looking at knee surgery sometime this summer, so we'll see how mobile he actually is. (If he's stuck on the couch I'll take lots of pictures to share with him. Aren't I nice?)
     Follow the link below to check out the full list of the museums and admission days, and have some Friday fun!

Lulu's Library #4

Here dear friends is an update from my family's reading. Again, a few (new) favs for Lulu's Library: Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin: TOO FUNNY! This fabulous book is a nearly step-by-step guide to hosting the perfect dragon party. Just make sure you don't forget to serve tacos, because dragons LOVE tacos!!! What Forest Knows by George Ella Lyon (with a nod to Illustrator August Hall!): The best word to describe this book is 'beautiful.' Beautiful illustrations (very, I might add), simple but beautiful text, this book about the changing of the seasons and what the forest 'knows' has become a bedtime favorite, and my little guy loves to point out details of the pictures and discuss them. Check this one out: I'm sure it will become a favorite. Good Night Yoga by Mariam Gates: This sweet bedtime story is written as a series of yoga poses, guaranteed to get your little one interacting, but in just the way you would want them to at bedtime.

Habit formation is an extremely personal endeavor, but there are some more specific ways you can increase your chances of success. In fact, some of the most effective tricks are pretty counterintuitive for most people. Here are just five you should consider. Focus on a trigger rather than t...

Beauty for Your September Morning...

Image
To the Light of September By W. S. Merwin When you are already here you appear to be only a name that tells of you whether you are present or not and for now it seems as though you are still summer still the high familiar endless summer yet with a glint of bronze in the chill mornings and the late yellow petals of the mullein fluttering on the stalks that lean over their broken shadows across the cracked ground but they all know that you have come the seed heads of the sage the whispering birds with nowhere to hide you to keep you for later you who fly with them you who are neither before nor after you who arrive with blue plums that have fallen through the night perfect in the dew
