Why is it already 3 August?  School begins next week and that is the most depressing realization I’ve had in quite a while.

Latin Baby Book Club is using today to begin a new series of give-a-ways. Today, it is an Arazo t-shirt by Mother Tongues.  Simply post on her blog for a chance to win.

As MotherTongues eloquently describes it:
“More than an embrace that ritualizes one’s greeting, un abrazo is an intimate experience. This [Latino] custom describes a powerful way of expressing unity and acceptance through emotions such as joy, pleasure, sorrow and sympathy. Un abrazo invites belonging, fellowship, and compassion as strangers become friends.”

School about to start has me looking at ways to do it a bit better this year. I have to admit, I did a poor job of meeting the challenges from downsizing this hear. TeachPaperless has some posts to spark the tech side of my brain.

And now for a walk. French food was a *bit too good to me!

And what will you do with this 3rd of August?
