A Daily Gathering | Calligraphy Workshop
Tuesday, November 25, 2014
It's been such a fun year, with the launch of A Daily Gathering! I just love bringing people together, to learn to skills, to share a meal together, to commune, and to just slow down and be present. These workshops and dinners are a lot of work, but I thrive on being busy. The past two weeks were some of my busiest this year, with two workshops and a dinner, and the biggest styling job of my career! But wow, it's fun, and I have such a supportive husband, friends, assistants, and the list goes on!
Two weekends ago, on a blustery cold Saturday morning earlier this month, a bunch of eager-to-learn ladies (and one adorable baby boy) gathered at Pamela Jane's Studio for the first ever A Daily Gathering Calligraphy Workshop! Pamela Jane's Studio is a brand new private event space in Fairfax Station, and I cannot recommend it enough! Pamela is a joy to work with, and her studio. It's filled with such a great light, and tables, and art supplies, and all the pretty things. I am so looking forward to working with her again! It was a simply wonderful time! Lindsay Ponta of Shrimp Salad Circus was our genius instructor and miraculously taught us all how to write beautifully. Not that we don't have to practice...but she was patient, shared some tricks and tips, and made us all feel so confident in our new skill!
We were privileged to work with some lovely sponsors who provided decor, some of our food and drink, and all of our goodie bag contents! Haley Tobias decked out the space with local, seasonal flowers and greenery. My favorite were those huge white mums! Le Pain Quotidien sent us quite the array of pastries, a granola, yogurt and fruit bar, mini croissant sandwiches, and coffee and tea. We were so impressed with their generosity and presentation. Best catering ever! Kristyn from Laite sent each of our students a gorgeous handcrafted gold ring. I want every single piece of jewelry she designs. They're just perfectly dainty and unique. Rifle Paper Co. generously sent each student a two-pack journal set. Kelsey Garrity Riley, a Brooklyn-based illustrator sent everyone notecards. My favorite is the "Warmest Wishes" card. Her artwork is beautiful and whimsical, and I have an adorable print all ready to go on Zoe's wall next week for her big room makeover! Knot & Bow gave each student a roll of black cotton twine. This stuff is my favorite! And just in time for the new year, each student got a wall calendar from Idlewild Co. They sent over their kaleidoscope flowers wall calendar, and I just LOVE the bright patterns and colors. A dear, local friend Sandy from Mes 2 Petites Etoiles gave each student personalized pencils from her shop. And to top it all off, these goodies were all stowed away in an Oh, Hello Friend tote bag. They sent over a few designs, and my favorite design is "let's be adventurers." Yes, please!
I'll be announcing the 2015 A Daily Gathering schedule in early January, so keep an eye out for that! Sign up for the mailing list to be the first to know!

Camp Like a Lady with United by Blue
Monday, November 24, 2014
About a month ago in October, a group of 15 ladies trekked out to Ricketts Glen State Park in northeastern Pennsylvania for a weekend of hiking and camping. Bundled up in United by Blue gear and packs (check out the entire Camp Like a Lady Collection), we set out to conquer the trail and stop at each the 24 waterfalls of which the park boasts. It was slippery and steep and cold and wet, and we had a blast! I'll be honest, at 7 months pregnant, the huge, slippery slate steps hugging the side of the mountain and overlooking the 97' waterfalls were a bit intimidating. But the group was amazing, and they promised to catch me if I misstepped.
We eventually made our way back to the campground to set up camp...and it began to rain. And the temperature began to drop. Starting a campfire - the heat source for our supper - in the rain is not an easy task. But the ladies conquered the fire and we feasted on hotdogs and everyone's potluck side dishes! After cozying around the fire and chatting for awhile, the dropping temperature and heavier rainfall sent us off to our tents where we were lulled to sleep (or not) by sleet. In October. We woke up to a dusting of snow, and worked our hardest to prepare breakfast in the freezing weather. We quickly packed up camp and said goodbye! What a weekend!
I met a bunch of awesome ladies on the trip, like Kat from That Kind of Woman , Chaucee of Streets and Stripes, Tracy (@tracythnguyen), Melissa (@melissa_annetilley), and Lauren of Handcrafted in Virginia. And of course, my girls Joy, Emma, and Laicie were there! So thankful for the invitation from United by Blue. You can see more photos and a sweet video on their blog today.
ALSO, perfect timing for your Christmas shopping: United by Blue is offering A Daily Something readers 20% off their Camp Like a Lady Collection with the discount code CAMPLADIES. My favorites are the Whitney Pullover, Infinity Scarf, and Derby Tier Backpack. Hurry, because the discount code expires tomorrow at midnight!

Recipe | Butternut Squash, Sausage, & Feta Bake
Thursday, October 23, 2014
Once again, I'm sharing a butternut squash recipe with you and it's not my own recipe. A few weeks ago I was at Zion Springs Bed & Breakfast for a client's walkthrough, and I hadn't eaten dinner (and I was starving). The gracious hosts they are, I was offered a bowl of this butternut squash bake, and I fell in love. The recipe is from an old fall/winter issue of Taste of Home...so thank you, Taste of Home, for our new favorite breakfast, lunch and dinner. The flavors are incredible...a little spicy from the red pepper flakes, a little herby from the rosemary, a lot cheesy from the feta, and then sausage and squash. What else does a fall dish need? And apart from peeling + chopping the butternut squash, it is a super simple recipe. My favorite kind.
- 1 lb. Italian sausage
- 2 large onions
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, divided
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 2 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
- 2 cups (8 oz.) crumbled feta cheese
- 2 small sweet red peppers, chopped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onions and 1/4 tsp. pepper flakes over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink and onions are tender, breaking up sausage into crumbles; drain.
In a large bowl, combine the oil, rosemary, salt, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and remaining pepper flakes. Add butternut squash, cheese, red peppers, and sausage mixture; toss to coat.
Transfer to an ungreased shallow roasting pan. Cover and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until squash is tender. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve & enjoy. I promise you will!
When my interns and I got together to shoot this recipe, we couldn't wait for it to finish baking so we could dig in for lunch. The house was filled with the tastiest aroma and I think we were actually drooling. Joe and I ate it again for supper that evening, and then the next morning, I scrambled some eggs and tossed the butternut squash bake leftovers into the eggs right before they were done. So scrumptious. This dish works for any meal and will satisfy everyone. I need to make more dishes like this, so if you have a favorite recipe for a fall bake, please send it my way!

Off On An Adventure
Friday, October 17, 2014
Happy Friday! I'm headed deep into Pennsylvania for a camping adventure with a bunch of lady bloggers and United by Blue. Joy, Emma and I are driving up there together, and I'm SO stoked. I think I'm ready....stocked up on all the necessities, and I miiiight be bringing a few non-essentials. We'll see how heavy my pack ends up being. Still deciding on what to bring for our campfire potluck (need something that weighs nothing).
I'm leaving you with a few of my favorite camping and hiking snaps from instagram. The first two are by Bethany, and the last one is by Justin. Ever since first seeing these images on Joy's instagram, I've been thinking about how I want to go camping. And now I have the opportunity. Just not sure our tent will be as picturesque as Justin's. Or comfy. We definitely don't have an air mattress on our list of must-haves.
I have a tent, a tent floor cover, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, headlamp, water bottle, great hiking shoes, clothes. What am I forgetting? If you have any last minute camping advice (especially for a preggo), please give it! I'll need all the help I can get!
P.S. I announced the last A Daily Gathering workshop of 2014: A SEASONAL SUPPER + WORKSHOPS IN NATURAL DECOR + BEESWAX. Tickets and more info here.
A Daily Gathering | Backyard Potluck
Wednesday, October 15, 2014
A few months back, I hosted a simple backyard potluck in my friend Melinda's (from Knead & Know) perfectly overgrown and charming backyard, nestled deep in historic Leesburg, Virginia. I wanted to bring together some of my closest friends (and their spouses) for a carefree evening where no one did anything but bring a tasty summery creation and sit down at the shared table and commune. A celebration of summer and the breaking of bread together outdoors. A sort-of thank you to all those who have been such dear co-hosts, collaborators, brainstormers, venturers into the unknown with me the past few years. Lauren and Rachel didn't take photos or make flower arrangements. Jennifer didn't design a menu. We didn't promote it on social media.
It was simple, and lovely, and we all had a chance to enjoy each other's company.
The recipe for a meaningful time involves piecing together just a few simple elements to make a that beautiful whole. Little details that will make a difference and let your guests know you prepared for them...hanging some overhead lights, filling the table with long taper candles that will burn well into the evening, collecting some firewood. Then add in a handful of friends and a table spread with simple food, and just being present, together. A bonfire, s'mores, and grilled peaches won't hurt, either. And music, quietly humming somewhere off in the distance.
As we're plunging deeper into fall, I want to spend every moment I can, out-of-doors with friends and family. Savoring the autumn chill, cozying up around a bonfire, and sharing a meal.

Houston Texans
5 NFL Teams Already Out Of Contention For 2014 Season
Every NFL team has a chance… theoretically. But these 5 teams might as well pack it in until 2015.
Gallo Goes There: Head Coaches Are Hugely Overrated In The NFL
Of the six coaches who were fired at the end of this season, each of them had quarterbacks with a quarterback rating placing them in the bottom half of the league.
With Playoffs Looming, 2014 Opponents Set For Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals had a great season and are looking forward to welcoming the San Diego Chargers into Paul Brown Stadium for the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Even with that game on the immediate horizon, the 2014 opponents for the Bengals have now been set.
Around The NFL: Pro Bowl Rosters, Texans Secure First Pick, Peyton Questioned
The 2013 NFL regular season is coming to a close and there is a lot going on besides just the playoffs, and most of the news actually has to do with one of the worst teams in the league, the Houston Texans.
Around The NFL: Jets QB Controversy, Nick Foles Excels, Spygate II?
This is yet another "bizarro" season in the NFL but it is in a different way than it was last season when random bad teams were trashing good teams. Now, there is a lot of unexpected news coming out of different NFL cities and the stories may not be explained any time soon.
Around The NFL: A Sunday Full Of Shocking Losses
Teams are competing for playoff positioning now, as a number of them believe they've already got a clear-cut path to the postseason. It always appears though, that it is the teams that have next to nothing to lose that are playing at their best as the season begins to round a corner toward the end.
Around The NFL: Ed Reed Blames Phillips For Waiver, Moss Wants RG3 To Take Responsibility, Bush Vows Never To Fumble
There is a lot of blame going around the NFL lately and fingers are being pointed in just about every direction imaginable. One player though is taking matters into his own hands and promising to do something that could take him to another level.
Around The NFL: Saints Healing, Ravens Don't Want Reed, Sam Hurd Sentenced
The NFL is full of ups and downs, and it is sometimes quite amazing how quickly a player can go from one to the other. It's a league where tomorrow is never promised and you're not in the driver's seat just because you played professional football.
Around The NFL: Packers QB Carousel, Harvin Returning, Texans RB Done For Year
Injuries are truly crippling some teams in the NFL as the season begins its ride toward the playoffs. One player will finally be on the field for his new team and he'll ironically face his old team. A Houston Texan is done for the year and won't have to suffer much longer. In Green Bay, the Packers are dealing with a problem that they haven't had in decades.
Around The NFL: Head Coach Health Issues, Locker Room Bullies, A Murder Conviction
All news about NFL isn't always about football, and doesn't always have to do with the action that takes place on the field. A couple of coaches dealt with some scares over the weekend. A teammate made another feel like an outsider. And a murder from years ago finally gets a conviction.

Taste Washington: Strategies for success at mega feast
Send this to a friend
- Glenn Drosendahl
- Contributing Writer- Puget Sound Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
The Lollapalooza of all tasting events is about to hit Seattle. It's Taste Washington, set for March 31 and April 1 at the CenturyLink Field Event Center, with more than 200 wineries and about 60 restaurants involved.
This traditionally has been a huge event for the state's wine people – growers, makers, buyers and drinkers – and now it's expanding from one day to two.
Also, for the first time, it's being produced by Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau, which, in partnership with the Washington State Wine Commission, is amping up the emphasis on out-of-towners. Downtown hotels are offering weekend packages, including tickets and transportation. Restaurateurs are hoping for busy nights.
But 200-plus wineries pouring samples? To make the most of that potentially overwhelming situation, ticket buyers need to plan ahead. That's the advice from people – pros and non-pros – who know this event.
"I can't stress enough: Don't try to work your way from table to table," said Bonnie Jeuris, wine steward and buyer at Westwood Village QFC. "If you drink full pours, it's impossible to go through everything without getting sick or getting drunk."
"It's not unlike Bumbershoot," said David Blandford, the Convention and Visitors Bureau's vice president for communications, referring to Seattle's big Labor Day weekend music festival. "There's so much there, you have to strategize."
That starts with knowing what's there in advance. A version of the program will be posted about a week before the event at www.tastewashington.org, giving the lineup of seminars, wineries and restaurants. The same information will be available at the door, but the point here is to get a jump on the crowd.
Doug Zellers, general manager at Palisade, suggests getting an even earlier jump by studying trade magazines or consulting websites such as Sean Sullivan's Washington Wine Report to zero in on wines to try.
Jeuris said she targets maybe 10 wineries she wants to sample for sure – and ends up doing quite a few more. She starts with white and sparkling wines, then moves on to rosés, then reds.
Zellers saves the heaviest reds for last.
"If you hit the big reds as soon as you walk in the door, you're going to carry that around the whole time," he said.
Zellers has a long background in Washington wine. Besides taking the GM post at Palisade nine months ago, he is sommelier at Top Cellars of Washington, former director of food and beverage operations at Washington Athletic Club and former general manager at The Triple Door.
He has attended Taste Washington for roughly a decade either as a member of the educational team, as he is this year, a vendor or just a plain customer.
"The biggest advice I would give is to spit the wine," he said, meaning to use the ubiquitous, if inelegantly named, spit buckets rather than swallow all of every tasting. "You can try a couple hundred wineries, and if you're spitting and grabbing some food, you'll be fine."
Jeuris suggests making an effort to pair some tastings with the right foods, such as oysters with a bubbly. And she believes it's important to drink water or club soda between wine samples.
She and Zellers both see Taste Washington as a great opportunity to try new wines. That might seem obvious, but inevitably there is what Zellers calls "a bullrush" to the tables with the high-priced wines.
"I don't go to tastings to taste the most expensive wines," Jeuris said of her role as a grocery store buyer seeking value at a range of price points. "I always like to find a new winery, a smaller guy who's not out there."
"You have to kiss a lot of frogs," Zellers said, "but you're going to find some great wines."
Taste Washington is billed as the biggest single-region wine and food event in the United States. It started in 1998 and attracts about 3,000 people every year.
Expanding it to two days should make it less crowded and easier to enjoy, Zellers said, and he advocates making a weekend of it. But the advantage still goes to the early birds, and to be one of those you pay a premium price.
General admission tickets are $75 for tasting from 2 to 5 p.m. VIP tickets, good for one-hour earlier admission and limited to 1,000 people, cost $125. Two-day ticket prices are $99 for general admission and $150 for VIP admission. Hotel package deals may be booked and tickets purchased at the event's website.

Hyper-sports touring motorcycle. One of the latest BMWs and that means it's a seriously sorted motorcycle. The BMW K1200S has Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa rivalling power but comfort and practicality too. Some radical engineering and plenty of proven technology.

The BMW K1200R is another from the latest-generation Beemers that blow away the firm's reputation for dull motorcycles. A 170mph naked motorcycle with looks that fuse sci-fi and retro with plenty of brawn. Basically a stripped down but modified BMW K1200S. It seems crazy but BMW offer small fairings for the BMW K1200R so you can occasionally use all the 163bhp this ...

Born as the baby to the BMW R1150GS (now 1200cc), the BMW F650GS has a long and credible pedigree, including a string of varients. The BMW F650 has off-road pretentions but, in the real world, is a sturdy and sensible road motorcycle (the BMW F650 Dakar's the one for the green lanes), it deals with most situations with predictable power and confidence.

Grey loses HSBC's UK retail business to JWT
The banking giant moves the UK retail creative brief back to the previous incumbent five months after appointing Grey.
HSBC: the six-month review split the creative account between JWT, Grey and Saatchi & Saatchi
HSBC has moved its estimated £20 million UK retail and wealth management advertising account back into JWT London, just five months after awarding the global retail business to Grey as part of a new ad agency roster.
The bank called a global review of its creative and media accounts, which were held by JWT and Mindshare respectively, in October last year. After a six-month process, it split the £400 million ad business three ways between Publicis Groupe's Saatchi & Saatchi and the sister WPP shops JWT and Grey.
Among the changes, HSBC's entire European retail banking account was shifted out of JWT and into Grey, Saatchi & Saatchi was given the sponsorship activity and JWT held on to HSBC's global brand business.
However, the UK retail account, which makes up the bulk of the European business, has now returned to JWT London. It is not clear why HSBC decided to reappoint JWT, although insiders said Grey's lack of retail experience and wider capacity issues played a part.
Grey will continue to work with HSBC across a number of regions on multiple accounts, including the retail advertising business outside of the UK.
An HSBC spokesman said: "As announced earlier in 2013, HSBC's advertising is now split across three creative agencies on its roster. With JWT being one of the agencies, the decision was made to extend its current remit to include HSBC's UK retail banking and wealth management account."
HSBC's group general manager and global head of marketing, Chris Clark, led the review process globally, with regional support from Philip Mehl, the pan-European head of marketing.
Five agencies were initially invited to pitch for the advertising business during the closed process, with McCann Erickson and BBDO participating in earlier stages.
Mindshare retained the global media planning and buying account.

A helicopter crashed into a crane and fell on a crowded street in central London during rush hour on Wednesday, sending flames and black plumes of smoke into the air. The pilot and one person on the ground were killed and 13 others injured, officials said.
The helicopter crashed in misty weather just south of the River Thames near the Underground and mainline train station at Vauxhall, and close to the headquarters of spy agency MI6.
Police said one person had critical injuries. Six were taken to a nearby hospital with "minor injuries" and seven treated at the scene, London Ambulance Service said.

The encouraging coaches at SwimAmerica teach swimming skills that build confidence and coordination in kids. The CPR- and first-aid-certified aquatic instructors acquaint wee ones with splashing during parent-child classes, begin building technique in elementary-school-age classes, and welcome older pupils to join them for adult classes, including water aerobics, an arthritis aquatics program, and underwater poker.
Central Valley Scuba Center educates adventurers in the science of scuba at an on-site classroom facility before heading off on trips to the tropical waters of the Atlantic. The Center's 12-foot-deep outdoor diving pool allows certified instructors to give hands-on direction to beginning students and divers seeking certification. Those who enjoy scuba and receive certification can join instructors on adventures to Cozumel and the Caribbean islands. There, they'll dive amid tropical fish and spy on movies filmed in Atlantis.
Members of Evolutions Fitness & Wellness receive access to more than 100 weekly fitness classes, rows of cardio and strength-training equipment, a lap pool, plush locker rooms, childcare services, and a slew of other gym perks. That's not what separates Evolution from other facilities, though. Its distinction as the fitness center for Tulare Regional Medical Center does. And the facility's medically minded take on fitness is evident, from the therapy pool and wellness seminars to fitness assessments and doctor vs. doctor bench-press contests.
McDermont Field House wears a lot of hats. It's a fitness center that houses more than 50 cardio machines. It's an indoor soccer field that hosts open play and league games.
Elsewhere, its Eagle Mountain rock-climbing wall challenges visitors to scale more than 50 feet. But it's not a traditional wall. Instead of colorful foot and handholds, the indoor wall looks much like a real mountainside: the grey, cragged peak is unmarked, and climbers must figure out their own ways to the top. The field house also brings the ocean to the San Joaquin Valley with a FlowRider wave simulator that buoys surfers and body boarders.
Though guests to Island Waterpark might meet humans on their way to the water, they might also encounter Pelican Pete?a giant blue pelican in a floral-print shirt and bermuda shorts. He and an athletic lifeguard staff oversee guests as they wander among fountains and roaring water in attractions designed for everyone from toddlers to adults. Bright-blue tube slides spiral down into splash pools, a giant bucket tips gallons of water onto passersby, and a three-story open slide sends riders on a straight shot into a landing zone that pads their descent with a foot of water and a coral reef packaged in bubble wrap. Aquatic revelers can also float down an endless lazy river and children can frolic under arching fountains and waterfalls in the kids key largo lagoon.
Under one roof, Sunnyside has all the tools its members need to get fit and enjoy themselves in the process. Group fitness classes give participants a way to try a variety of workout styles, and personal trainers are on hand to help members maximize their time, whether they're running on a treadmill or using it as a napping bench. The cardio theater supplies a variety of sweat-inducing options, and saunas provide a place to recuperate and let your muscles cry after a good workout.

The bumpy, cracked sidewalks in this town are a major hazard! My son broke his shoulder on one and the city refused to pay his medical and surgical costs! it is a huge problem for people trying to walk anywhere, to the point that many people, especially older folks, can be seen walking in the street because it is actually safer, in spite of the cars!
Thanx, Rosas Brothers!

The holidays are a good time for family caregivers returning home to tune into the signs that an older adult may need extra help to remain safe at home.
To learn more about those signs, register for the free "Home for the Holidays" web conference, moderated by a representative from the Home Instead Senior Care network, hosted by the American Society on Aging (ASA), and co-sponsored by the National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA) and the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC).
The hour-long web conference will be available in the U.S. and Canada, and offered on two dates and times – Tuesday, Nov. 15, at 1 p.m. or Monday, Dec. 5 at 8 p.m.
To register, visit www.caregiverstress.com/familyeducation.
The web conference will be moderated by Director of Strategic Alliances Mary Alexander of Home Instead, Inc., the franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care network. Alexander is a family caregiver and a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA).
"It's easy for busy family caregivers to overlook the subtle signs that a senior loved one needs assistance," Alexander said. "But the holidays, when many return to their childhood homes with aging parents, can highlight those red flags," she noted.
"Signs of potential trouble can be evident in a senior's home - such as spoiled food in the refrigerator and piles of unpaid bills - or personal indicators such as episodes of confusion or dirty and unkempt clothing," she added.
The web conference will feature information about countering senior resistance to assistance as well as resources that can help family caregivers and senior care professionals.
The U.S. Administration on Aging has proclaimed 2011 the Year of the Family Caregiver to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the National Family Caregiver Support Program and spotlight the important role of family caregivers. Learn more at www.celebratingfamilycaregivers.org.

Communicating early and often with your child's teacher is an important aspect of ensuring your child has the best possible education. Yet, sometimes parent-teacher conferences can be stressful for a variety of factors. In this article we provide a how-to guide for making the most out of your parent-teacher conference experience.
The Common Core State Standards were developed as a means to prepare K-12 students for success in college or the workforce upon graduation from high school. Since their inception, they have been adopted by 43 states. While much support has been given for the standards, many criticisms have emerged as well.
Increasing birth rates among immigrant families from Asia and Central and South America, combined with lower birth rates among white families, means that for the first time in history, public school students in the United States are majority-minority. This shift in demographics poses difficulties for schools as they work to accommodate children of varying language abilities and socio-economic backgrounds.
