Finds of the Week

  • Baby on Board, Bicycling — a bicycle trip with a one year old.  “I marveled that this was the same day I thought the three of us were going to die of dehydration. I sunk my spoon into some blackberry sorbet, and thought about how pushing limits—no matter what the ­limits are, how wild or tame they might be—brings into sharp focus what it means to be alive.”
  • Busting breastfeeding m’larky, Our Milky Way — a look at breastfeeding myths: how they start and how to elminate them
  • How to bring peace to the witching hour, Simple Mom — three great tips for surviving the worst hours of the day with our kids
  • Looking Back to Look Ahead — Love Christina’s writing.  This post about doing work as part of a CSA share is engrossing.  I never had these feelings or experiences with our farmers.  They always seemed so accepting and excited that everyone was contributing to the farms.  Even with her crazy worries of judgement, this really made me miss CSAs and local food.  We’re starving for good produce out here.
  • Viva la nipples, Our Milky Way — A post from The Healthy Children’s Project about breastfeeding and sore nipples: “A nursing mother should not feel any sensation more painful than a gentle tug while her baby is at the breast. If she reports any pain on a gradient scale, something is up.”

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. 😂
