Saturday Surfing

Finds of the week:

  • Breastfeeding and Pumping for 6 month old Baby from the UC Davis Human Lactation Center
  • Food Ark, National Geographic — a fabulous article about heirloom seeds and the role they will play in feeding the world.ย  Here’s a quote: “Most of us in the well-fed world give little thought to where our food comes from or how it’s grown. We steer our shopping carts down supermarket aisles without realizing that the apparent bounty is a shiny stage set held up by increasingly shaky scaffolding. We’ve been hearing for some time about the loss of flora and fauna in our rain forests. Very little, by contrast, is being said or done about the parallel erosion in the genetic diversity of the foods we eat.”
  • The Milk Truck — Part performance art, part public service; it’s going to be an ice cream truck with a giant boob on top that will “start a conversation in our community about a basic human right: feeding a baby.”ย  They’re still fundraising – click the link to read more about it and contribute!
  • Young House Love — This makes me sad about renting.

    we don’t dress like that because it’s 104 degrees outside……

      We have hot days too. But not like Texas; here you can actually enjoy being outside.

      Some days I fantasize about just going 100% vintage despite what everyone might think. ๐Ÿ™‚

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. ๐Ÿ˜‚
