Finds of the Week:

  • Breast Pumps in Jail: Kudos to Taos!, Sustainable Mothering — A County jail in New Mexico is providing accommodations for a breastfeeding mother to pump her breasts every few hours and have the product picked up by a family member for her four month old daughter.  Awesome!  (There’s a video from a news report here too.)
  • Getting stuffed: a tale of love and taxidermy, The Guardian — An excerpt from David Sedaris’ new book about buying a stuffed owl for his partner.
  • The History of Mister Rogers’ Powerful Message, Slate — In case you missed this link in my Boston piece
  • How not to say the wrong thing, LA Times — “It works in all kinds of crises – medical, legal, even existential. It’s the ‘Ring Theory’ of kvetching. The first rule is comfort in, dump out.”
  • How to Raise Kids Who Love Winter: Sixteen Tips, Literary Mama — seems relevant and useful since we have more snow forecast through this whole weekend…
  • Instagram’s Envy Effect, Relevant Magazine — Why social media can cause us dissatisfaction in our own life and what we can do about it.
  • Pollan Cooks!, NY Times — Mark Bittman’s discussion about Michael Pollan’s latest book and why we should return to cooking our own meals.
  • The Power of Talking to Your Baby, NY Times — Why talking to our babies is incredibly important to their development.

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. 😂
