It’s Here!!!

Just when I was starting to think that the whole free stroller thing was completely fake, look what showed up on my doorstep!As you can imagine, we were all pretty excited.  Nora kept talking about how “Mama win this for you,” and as soon as we put it together, we were out the door to try it out.  Believe it or not, in two years, this is my first new stroller.  All of our other ones were either purchased or given to us used.  We’ve had some decent ons, but nothing quite like this:

It seemed to handle pretty well even on the uneven terrain, although it was empty for most of the trip through the park because Nora is such a walker.

It had no problem going up this,

I was able to push one-handed while holding Pip’s leash in the other, and Nora is completely conked out in it as I type.  Initial impressions are amazing!  Thanks, Phil & Ted’s.

In case you missed it, P&T ran a video competition to win a free Verve stroller.  My video won.  I was not compensated monetarily for this post, nor was I expected to blog about the stroller when I received it.  All opinions are my own, posted out of sheer, authentic excitement.

    Wow! That’s a very sleek looking stroller – that’ll last you a long time, I’m sure. BTW – just managed to watch the video and it’s awesome, not surprised you won!

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. 😂
