Saturday Surfing

 

Finds of the week:

  • Breech Options, Bellies and Babies — an excellent look at birthing options for breach babies (and lots of information on getting them to turn).
  • Breastfeeding – Our Country’s Lactation Intolerance, Huffington Post — Op Ed referencing the ridiculous notion that the Breast Milk Baby will sexualize young girls.  In the last few weeks, Nora has started nursing her dolls (and stuffed animals and other random toys), and there’s nothing sexual about it — it’s a normal part of mimicking motherhood, and in my thought, pretty sweet.
  • First Day of School – Pocket Hearts, Curly Birds — cute and sweet craft idea for comforting separation anxiety.
  • Serve Veggies FIRST, It’s Not About Nutrition — Studies have shown that serving raw vegetables or vegetable soup as an appetizer increases children’s veggie consumption.
  • The Trail Is Not a Trail, Writer’s Almanac  — love this poem
  • Web Surfing Helps at Work, Study Says, Wall Street Journal  — Surfing the web is productive!

Unfortunately there’s no Etsy Love this week (twice in one month, ugh!) because I didn’t get to it this week and today has been a hectic day full of tomatoes and last minute errand (which is also why this is such a late post).  More on that in tomorrow’s report card.

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. 😂
