Saturday Surfing

Finds of the week:

  • The Baby Project: Share Your Story, NPR – NPR is looking for expectant mothers to be part of a special project where they document that final month leading to delivery.  If your due date is mid-July and you’d like to be considered for the project, please fill out the form on their website.  Hopefully they will include some home birthing, breastfeeding mamas too!
  • Do manners really matter? Why I hate making my daughter say please and thank you, InCulture Parent
  • Hitting the Bottle, NY Times – Manufacturers might be removing BPA, a chemical used to harden certain plastics, from their products. But they are substituting chemicals that may be just as dangerous.
  • Vt. insurers must cover home births, Boston Globe – Can we say jealous?
  • Without His Mother’s Milk, a Haitian Boy Is Lost, NY Times – A widespread belief that some women have “bad milk” — “lèt gate,” in Creole — often leads to tragic consequences.  So, so sad.

In case you hadn’t heard, today is the day of judgment.  Here’s some Etsy Love in honor of being raptured…or not.

1.  The Flying Machine Women’s Medium 2. Fight Club Cross Stitch – Quotation  3. Dr. Horrible Flip Front Steampunk Goggles in Copper  4. The Fallout Bottle Cap Keychain  5. Zombie repellent soap  6.

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. 😂
