Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week:

  • Battle Brewing Over Labeling of Genetically Modified Food, NY Times — Battle heats up over GMO labeling; note what GMA says foodcos will do if it passes.
  • A Life Worth Ending, New York Magazine — The era of medical miracles has created a new phase of aging, as far from living as it is from dying. A son’s plea to let his mother go.  I agree with him – I’d never want a “life” like this.
  • Peonies, Posie Gets Cozy — love, love, love this childhood memory
  • The Suicidal Pregnant Woman and the Politics of Motherhood, Slate — Bei Bei Shuai, the Indiana woman charged with murder and attempted feticide for trying to commit suicide while pregnant, was recently released from jail for the first time in more than a year. She posted bond, and now she waits for her trial in December.  I’m not sure I like where this is going.
  • You Asked. They Answered. TIME’s AP moms take your questions, Kelly Mom — An interview with the four moms featured in Time’s controversial article on attachment parenting.

No pins this week, because I want to share some videos, but you can also see my pins on Pinterest.

First up, I just had to share this awesome proposal. So neat.

And this just made me laugh out loud.

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. 😂
