I read The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy for my Young Adult book club. It was incredibly tough to get through. Incredibly. I read the same page 11 times. I didn’t like the name, the cover, or the book itself. There were some interesting bits but overall it’s not a book I would recommend in this day and age where there are so very many great Young Adult books. Here’s card three:

My boys have loved Minecraft forever. It’s one of the few videogames they play together (when they are not fighting about it) and I love that they share the joy of building and exploring in this virtual world together. Even though I am not crazy about computer time, and I don’t understand how this over-pixelated game is the most popular game, I still love that it’s about creating. It’s about doing it together. It’s a shared language they have that makes me smile. A few weeks ago, we were at Walgreens looking for something (I can’t remember what it was but I bet it was chocolate) and we saw these tiny Minecraft figures. Nathaniel immediately started begging to see if he could have them. I bought a few for him that day and then a few more for Christmas. And then a few more the next time we were at the drugstore. And next thing we know, we have a ton of these little figures. It’s one thing when real-life things become digitized and yet another when digital things come into the real world. I love how the boys have been playing with these little figures every single day. They love them a lot. Especially right now, when Nathaniel is not allowed any computer time. I see more Minecraft figures in our future. I love how much imaginative play Nathaniel has and I love seeing them all lined up on the floor. Grateful for these little bits of life.

Happy February!! Here’s to a wonderful week! Living Intentionally is a year-long project for 2016. You can read more about my projects for 2016 here. My February project was going to be making truth cards but when I sat down to do it, I decided to make some Choice Cards instead. I wanted to play with my many, many stencils and with acrylic paint. It’s been a while since I did and I missed it. What I love about these cards is they are small (2.5×3.5) and easy to make. I just liked making them. Cute little reminders of all the choices I have every day. Card one says: Choose to grow

all but one of them are here. I loved doing this little exercise. I am grateful to Christy Tomlinson for the inspiration. Here’s to hoping February is another month of doing a little bit of art each day.
Here’s week four in my sketchbook. I finished while I was in Zurich which is why it’s a bit delayed. I decided to do a few spreads of collections of things. So this one is coffee mugs. It’s not my favorite but it’s okay. Here are closer shots of each side:

I read Powerless because David’s class was starting a book club and this was our first pick. I read this to be in solidarity with David. It was a quick, fun and easy read. It made some interesting points about what it means to be a superhero and what your powers are. There are two others in the series and David read both of them. He loved all three so if you have a middle grader, these are recommended. |
