Free Your Chi
I found a site that is Saul's worst nightmare. It's a blog called Unclutterer that has some great tips and tricks for staying organized and uncluttered. It's the key to free flowing Chi you know... Anyway, it's awesome and I have to get on the ball and organized and uncluttered. What happens with us is that each pile of give/throw away that needs to go to Goodwill/consignment or the dump becomes another piece of clutter so we live in utter disarray. I hope/plan to change that someday.
One of the highlights I found is an organization Freecycle that has groups around the world and you post locally things you want to give away for free that someone else will find useful. This is particularly good for Saul who hates to throw away things, and thinks that he can find someone who can actually use it. So Freecyle is for him. But you can't write it off, so you have to weigh how "good" minded you really are in helping others:-) http://www.freecycle.org/groups/

Tri Angles
Saul posted some updated pix on his blog of the kids, but they're burried beneath his various amusings. So I thought I'd post them on mine so that they can be immortalized in a different way than Saul's blog:-)
Bento Time
Gastrokid is definitely one of my favorite sites as a parent. It appeals not only to my sense of gastronomy into my family life and interesting things to feed the kids and family. It's entertaining to read as well, written by 2 men both English but one is in LA and one is in England. They've got a great tone and I enjoy reading their posts. I found this from one of their posts and it made me think about how our kids love their Japanese food and how I love this Bento box that I found for them.
There is a woman Mimi Ito, who has most days since 2008 taken a photo of the school lunchbox she prepares for her children and published it onto her Flickr blog. The kids are older (6 and 9 I think) but it's never too early to think different about what to feed the kids for lunch when we're not with them. Apparently here kids love what she makes and don't want the food at school - nice! http://flickr.com/photos/mimiito/tags/bentoblog/
