Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week:

  • Breastfeeding Around the World, InCulture Parent — A good look at breastfeeding exclusivity and duration throughout the world, with wonderful pictures.  Don’t miss the last photo!
  • Impact of State Laws That Extend Eligibility for Parents’ Health Insurance Coverage to Young Adults, Pediatrics — Peer Reviewed Study: States that expanded eligibility to parents’ insurance in 2005 or 2006 experienced improvements in access to care among young adults.  As in, “Obamacare” works.
  • Labor and Deliverance — I discovered this blog a couple weeks ago and then spent hours reading through his archives.  He’s an OBGYN somewhere in Appalachia.  Not only does he do cool things like vaginally deliver twins (with one breech) and constantly promoting vaginal NOT surgical births, but he’s also funny as all get out…especially when describing some of his incredibly back-woods patients.
  • Raising a Little Buddha – Part 1, InCulture Parent — Post by a Buddhist Minister about raising an enlightened child.  It starts with intimacy, communication, and community.
  • Rick Santorum, Meet My Son, Slate — A piece by the mother of a child with Tay-Sachs reflecting on the contradiction between her passionate love for her son and her belief that it would have been “an act of love” to abort him.  She says, “I’m so grateful that Ronan is my child. I also wish he’d never been born; no person should suffer in this way—daily seizures, blindness, lack of movement, inability to swallow, a devastated brain—with no hope for a cure. Both of these statements are categorically true; neither one is mutually exclusive.”

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. 😂
