Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week:

  • 90 Percent of Corn Seeds Are Coated With Bayer’s Bee-Decimating Pesticide, Mother Jones — Boo!
  • Does Thinking About God Improve Our Self-Control?, Wired — This is really interesting, especially because they found that you don’t have to believe in a God to be impacted by thoughts of one
  • A Generation Hobbled by the Soaring Cost of College, NY Times — We’re chipping away slowly…just like everybody else.  Oh yeah, and this is why we will be pushing state school, not our own alma mater.
  • The Push is Powerful Stuff, Mothering — A look at the hurdles some women have to jump to be able to push during delivery.  (Not me, pushing felt good, but I like this all the same.)
  • My Son Looks Like a Girl. So What?, Motherlode  — A nice piece by a mother about why making more room for gay marriages in our culture allows everyone, gay or straight, more room to be themselves.
  • Welcome to the latest iteration of the “cupcake wars:” Massachusetts v. bake sales, Food Politics — Marion Nestle’s take on our state’s recent reversal of legislation limiting bake sales in schools

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. 😂
