Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week:

  • Currently Reading, Stand And Deliver — If you are wondering why on earth someone would become an abortion provider, Rixa discusses books she’s read on the topic, trying to answer the same question herself.
  • How Much Do Bloggers Really Make?, The Feminist Blogger — Gina honestly and openly discussed how much she made last year from her blog.  Interesting post if you are interested in (or someday interested in) making money off your blog.
  • Multiple Fathers and Healthier Children in the Amazon, InCulture Parent — a fascinating look at cultures in the Amazon where pregnant women have sex with more than one man as a means of having multiple fathers for their children, who then have to help provide for them.  Studies have found that children with more than one “father” have a greater likelihood of living past childhood.
  • Old Nichols Farm — I just discovered this blog and I must say I’m jealous.  Jealous of the pictures (like these), jealous of the animals, but not jealous of North Dakotan cold.
  • Smashed Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Pancakes, Joy the Baker — I pinned this for summer, because who wouldn’t want raspberries and chocolate in pancakes?
  • This Week on Papoose: How Vital is Cow’s Milk? — two studies that might change your mind.
  • Top 10 Beaches, National Geographic — Nantucket, of course.

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˜‚
