Saturday Surfing

saturday surfing2

I know it’s not Saturday — not even close, actually, since there’s barely any Sunday left to speak of, but there are somethings I have been saving all week to share and I’m going to just pretend I got around to doing this yesterday and share them.  So here we go with some finds of the week:

  • Are you qualified?, Simple Homeschool — This is an excellent piece about what makes someone qualified to educate their children despite not having a degree in education.
  • Dear Less-Than-Perfect Mom, Huffington Post — “And since no mother is perfect, chances are you are caught in a two billion way tie for Best Mom in the World.”
  • How Babies Learn to Be Human, Slate — New Research into babies and how they begin to comprehend intention
  • MANA Response to Recent AAP Home Birth Statement: High-quality out-of-hospital newborn and postpartum care is standard for midwives, Science & Sensibility
  • Mother and Daughter, July 2008, Literary Mama — love this poem about an adult mother-daughter relationship
  • Superbugs Invade American Supermarkets, Environmental Working Group – This EWG report focuses on the huge amounts of antibiotic resistant bacteria that is coming into existence thanks to the huge amounts of routine antibiotic use in animals.  Scary stuff.
  • Systematic Review of the Efficacy of Herbal Galactogogues, Journal of Human Lactation — all you could ever want to know about using milk to stimulate (or not) milk production.  You may be surprised to know there’s little good evidence that any of the herbs mothers take actually do anything, which is why I never advise a mother to take a supplement to increase milk production.  The best way to make milk is to nurse, nurse, nurse.

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. ๐Ÿ˜‚
