Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week:

  • Literary Mama – All I can say is, how did I not know about this before this week!?!?  Amazing, amazing online literary journal for “the maternally inclined.”  I wish I had more time because all I want to do is read every post ever posted in their archives.  Go check it out!
  • and on that note: Nursing Johnny Depp By Molly Remer on Literary Mama – a creative nonfiction piece about nursing a toddler…and a toddler’s many toys.
  • The Nantucket Wind Turbine Website, which provides live information on the power generated by our windmill.  Since it was switched on in October 2010, it’s generated 104,625 kwh of electricity and has saved the public school $20,925 in electricity costs.  I love Nantucket.
  • Hidden consequences of a first-born boy for mothers – a study that found women with first-born sons are more likely to work less than women with first-born daughters.
  • Is Sitting a Lethal Activity? on the New York Times
  • Washington Teen Gaby Rodriguez, 17, Fakes Pregnancy as Social Experiment, ABC News — just weird.
  • Also, three new additions to my online reader: Hobo Mama (parenting), Janae Monir (cooking), Joy the Baker (cooking)

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. 😂
