Traveling

Yesterday, we traveled.  Up early, kissed Chris goodbye , and boarded a propeller plane to soar away from Nantucket.  There were some delays which, luckily, didn’t seem to bother my little mama much.

We played with toys, walked all through the airport exploring exciting things like moving sidewalks,

and finally, nearly 12 hours later, we made it halfway across the country to wheat and Jayhawk filled Kansas. We are officially in…

America .  We are here and, once again, I am reminded of just how different and magical Nantucket is from 99% of the country.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about fast and easy trips to buy a few new maternity clothes, visits to Trader Joes,

and a stop at Target to instantly pick up water wings

and a floaty

for Great Grandma’s pool.  And both Nora and I are thrilled to be spending time with lots and lots of family.  But it is just different and the longer I live in Nantucket, the longer it takes me to adjust to life in the real world.

Tomorrow, we are looking forward to a trip to the Farmstead (a petting zoo and historic village I remember loving as a child), pedicures, and a lot more swimming. This week is going to be so filled with love and adventure…I can hardly wait to experience every moment of it, even if it’s going to be a bit of a change of pace from our comfortable island life.

    I’m from Kansas City and now live in Miami. Two very different places, but I do love going home! Enjoy!

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. 😂
