Math Worksheet Generator and Rainstorms

by Barbara Feldman March 22, 2011

This has been such a great week. My daughter is home from college for spring break, and brought three college friends with her. Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn’t hold up her end of the Sunny Southern California bargain, because instead of sunshine and beach weather, she gave us rain and hail. Not exactly what these east [...]

Jury Duty Reading List

by Barbara Feldman March 8, 2011

Tomorrow, I am going downtown for jury duty. To keep me amused in the waiting room, I’ll have with me my iPod Touch, my laptop, and a hard cover book. Ha ha!!! No one ever accused me of traveling light! For those interested in what I’m reading and listening to at the moment, here’s the [...]

My BlackBerry is Not Working

by Barbara Feldman January 7, 2011

“My blackberry is not working.” “What’s the matter? It run out of juice?” “No, no. It’s completely frozen!” This comedy sketch from BBC One is sure to have you roaring out loud. Just yesterday, on a telecon with my son, he was talking about seeing Mexican Blackberrys everywhere… and for about 90 seconds I thought [...]

Thanksgiving Updates

by Barbara Feldman November 18, 2010

Are you getting excited for Thanksgiving? I am. I am hosting my entire family, twenty-five guests for dinner. And seven guests sleeping over, plus my two kids coming in from out of town. So this old house will be sleeping ELEVEN people. How fun!! I am thrilled. My favorite family recipe is this one for [...]

Cranberry Sauce, Anyone?

by Barbara Feldman November 15, 2010

I take it as a great compliment that my grown son calls and asks for recipes from his childhood. This week, he made his first turkey dinner, a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving, because he will be coming to my house for Thanksgiving (yea!!) I got the call when he was at the grocery store, [...]

Shining a Light on Women’s Voices

by Barbara Feldman October 19, 2010

Last weekend in Ojai, I was honored to be an attendee at the small (can I use the word boutique?) woman’s blogging conference, Creative Alliance ’10. There I met a yurt full of wonderful women who have integrated blogging into the thread of their lives. But there are two specific projects (and the women making [...]

The Social Network: Marlin and Trout

by Barbara Feldman October 5, 2010

I really enjoyed “The Social Network” last weekend. It’s a great story told well. Of course it is fictionalized, which is a bit annoying, because there is no guideline anywhere that explains, this part is pretty close to the facts, but this part over here, that one is WAY OFF! But one of the themes [...]

Just Dance Wii Game

by Barbara Feldman September 26, 2010

First a confession. I have never owned a game console before. Up to now, I was in a demographic that wasn’t targeted by video games. Starting with Dance, Dance Revolution and the Wii Fit, the game console folks were moving in, getting closer and closer. But no bulls eyes, however, until I saw Ubisoft’s Just [...]

Your Back-to-School Tips

by Barbara Feldman August 3, 2010

This is a big milestone year for our family, as back-to-school means sending our youngest daughter across the country (from San Diego to Boston) for her first year at college. We are busy buying dorm supplies (we “HEART” Bed Bath & Beyond’s college program), booking airline tickets (we already have her Thanksgiving trip booked!) and [...]

Monkeys at the Jungle Villa

by Barbara Feldman July 27, 2010

One of the main attractions of the Jungle Villa in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica was the open layout of the living areas, with no walls between us and the jungle and the visiting monkeys. During our week, we had two gangs of capuchins come to visit. I was only home for one of the visits. [...]

La Paz Waterfall Gardens

by Barbara Feldman July 20, 2010

One of the highlights of our family trip to Costa Rica this summer, was the night time tour of the ranarium (frog nursery) at La Paz Waterfall Gardens. In fact all of our time at the wonderful Gardens and the luxurious Peace Lodge inside the park was fabulous. And the only reason we were there [...]
