Saturday Surfing

Finds of the week:

  • The Best Part of Parenting on Motherlode – Anna Quindlen looks back, from infancy to adulthood.  Beautiful, just beautiful.
  • Jimmy Wong Saves The Internet on NPR All Tech Considered – how one man used YouTube to fight back against cyber bullying.  Love, love, love his music video!  And a follow up can be found here.
  • Pregnant Commuter Tracks Subway Chivalry, WSJ
  • Refrigerator moms and the evolution of parent-bashing, Nourishing the Soul — why do we blame parents for their kid’s mental health?
  • Why Do We Let Them Dress Like That? Women of a liberated generation wrestle with their eager-to-grow-up daughters—and their own pasts, WSJ — interesting take on teen dressing (or lack there of).
  • And this TEDx talk from Robyn O’Brien, a former food-industry analyst who founded the non-profit AllergyKids and wrote the 2009 book “The Unhealthy Truth: One mother’s shocking investigation into the dangers of America’s food supply — and what every family can do to protect itself.”, brought to my attention by Spoonfed, is so good I have to embed it here:

    Thanks so much for including my post this week! I appreciate it.

    This is a great round-up and I’m so excited to watch the Robyn O’Brien video!

    Wow. our church had to make a whole section on the prayers page for cancer, and I instinctively knew that it wasn’t right and it’s not normal and it’s probably new. and this lady is confirming that. I wish everyone believed her.

      Me too! The FDA is looking into artificial dyes this week. Hopefully they’ll be smart and ban them like in Europe.

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. 😂
