Saturday Surfing

Saturday Surfing is a new feature on Au Coeur which highlights websites/blog posts/etc. that I have found over the previous week, enjoyed, and want to share with others.  There will be a variety of links in these posts – everything from current events, breastfeeding and natural parenting information, to crafts and sewing.  I hope you all enjoy this feature!

  • Could the ‘cuddle hormone’ make you (think you) love your mom? – LA Times article about research done to see how oxytocin (the hormone produced during birth) impacts men’s memories of their mothers.  Fascinating and disturbing all at once.
  • A Doula Story: On the Frontlines of Teen Pregnancy – Documentary about a Chicago Doula who works exclusively with inner-city, black, teen mothers.  I had see this about a year ago and was just reminded about it this week.
  • Medal of Honor for Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta – YouTube video on the White House’ YouTube channel of the award ceremony.  This brings tears to my eyes.  I went to high school with Sal, and am amazed at what he did for his fellow soldiers and our country.  No matter how I feel about the war, I have incredible respect for our soldiers.
  • Move Over, Milk Banks: Facebook and Milk Sharing – Time Magazine article about women using Facebook to connect with one another to share breastmilk.  Social media for the win!

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
