Saturday Surfing

saturday surfing2

We spent the last couple days up in the mountains skiing, so this post is a day late, but since I did bookmark things this week, I thought I’d post it anyway.  So here were my interesting finds of the week:

  • Advice For Eating Well On A Tight Budget, From A Mom Who’s Been There, NPR — Profile of a woman teaching low-income families how to choose and cook healthy produce.  It reminded me of my experience doing  the SNAP challenge.
  • Call Your Dad: Living Together Before Marriage Does Not Lead to Divorce, Slate — New research from the University of North Carolina–Greensboro, revealing the real factor that raises the risk of divorce:  it’s not premarital cohabitation that predicts divorce. It’s age.  Both good and bad news, I suppose…
  • Gray Matters: Too Much Screen Time Damages the Brain, Psychology Today — Another research-based article about the impact of screen time on children.
  • Inheriting Stress, NY Times — New research suggests that children can inherit stress that their parents experienced even before they were conceived.
  • A Mighty Girl — I just found this website and I love it!  There’s all sorts of things for “smart, confident, and courageous girls” — as a mama to girls, I love the things that they are sharing in their blog.
  • You’re Drinking the Wrong Kind of Milk, Mother Jones — Very interesting look at different kinds of milk based on the type of cow it came from.

Pins of the week:

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. 😂
