Saturday Surfing

Finds of the week:

  • Beyonce Breastfed…for 10 weeks, Blacktating — I couldn’t have said it better.
  • Beyond Good And Apathy: What Does It Mean To Do Good In The Age Of The Internet?, Her Bad Mother — A look at the motivation for doing good through the lens of blogging and self-interest (I.e. donating $ for every comment, etc.).  Very thought provoking.
  • Breastfeeding in Jordan, InCulture Parent — Not as restrictive as one might think.
  • The Meat You Eat, NY Times — A summary of the responses to their contest on the ethics of eating meat, plus links to the winning essay and finalists.
  • A Need For Speed: Inside Jamaica’s Sprint Factory, NPR — Chris is always going on and on about the Jamaican food the line cooks make…now I know why it’s so awesome.
  • Raising a Hijab-Wearing Daughter in a World that Doesn’t Understand, InCulture Parent  — This is great
  • Teenage Magazines and Airbrushed, Unattainable Beauty, Motherlode — 14 y/o Julie Bluhm is sick of airbrushed girls in magazines. She’s calling on Seventeen Magazine to include real girls.

I also wanted to share a link to the journal Robin’s family set up to keep everyone updated on her recovery. Many of you have asked for an update. She was moved last week to a rehabilitation center and is moving down the long road to recovery. I know that all the positive vibes and thoughts and prayers have been a major part of the progress she has made already.

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. 😂
