Saturday Surfing

It’s back!  Hurray!

Awesome/interesting finds of the week:

  • 7 tons of ground beef recalled due to possible E. coli, CNN – Gag. Another example of why a global food system doesn’t work. Eat local…yes, you can find local meat.  Go to Eat Wild and search for a farm near you.
  • A Pirate Life on MADE – This is the kind of mom I want to be.
  • ‘Ga-Ga’ for Daddy’s Data, Wall Street Journal – To better understand how caregivers’ speech affects babies’ ability to learn language a professor at M.I.T. wired his house with 11 cameras and 14 microphones to record much of his son’s first few years of life.  He captured some 90,000 hours of video and 140,000 hours of audio (transcribing some 700,000 million words).  Really interesting…but can you imagine having to get something out of all that data?
  • Like Daughter, Like Father, Columbia Business School Study – When male CEOs have daughters, relative pay for women at their firms goes up, narrowing the persistent gender wage gap.
  • Will Your Husband Change Diapers? Maybe Not on India RealTime (A WSJ Blog) – Summary of a survey of men and women in six developing nations–Brazil, Croatia, Chile, India, Mexico and Rwanda–titled the “International Men and Gender Equality Survey”. Coordinated by the Washington, D.C.-based International Center for Research on Women and Brazil’s Instituto Promundo, which asked a total of around 8,000 men and 3,500 women in the age groups of 18-59 in the six countries questions about their attitudes on health, relationships, parenting, sexual behavior and violence.  Some of the answers are downright scary, like those about violence against women.

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. 😂
