  • AMERICA banner free printable, At Second Street – Love this!  It’s definitely my kind of decorating cheap, easy, and super cute.   It gives me an idea for what I can do on my front door…
  • Efforts to Ban Circumcision Gain Traction in California, NY Times
  • Horrifying 12-day Cool Whip Experiment, Jonathan Fields – I knew there was a reason we don’t eat that junk
  • In Queens, New Mothers and Old Asian Custom, NY Times – An article about NY “confinement” centers that cater to and serve new mothers following the Asian custom of spending ” the month after a baby’s birth in pampered seclusion.”
  • Learning Through Play, Momtastic – This is the sort of things we try to do with Nora.  No pressure learning, usually accompanied by song.  🙂
  • Goodbye food pyramid, hello My Plate, the new way to think about eating.
  • Roasted Tomato and Avocado Toast, Running with Tweezers – I can’t wait until I get to make this!  It looks like summer on a plate.

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. 😂
