Finds of the Week:

  • Ten medical tests or treatments you should question as a parent, Boston.com — I especially like number 2: “Cough and cold medicines for children under the age of 4 years. They don’t really help, and they can have dangerous side effects. Go for the chicken soup, humidifier, and honey (for kids over a year) instead. “
  • Freya’s Gold: Milk Donation After Loss, Lactation Matters — Why one mom chose to pump and donate milk after the stillbirth of her baby.
  • The Green You See Is Not The Green You See, NPR — I thought this was really interesting.  How our eyes play tricks on us and how we interpret color.
  • Hobby Lobby Wants to Stop Doctors From Talking to Its Employees About Contraception, Slate — And I don’t think I can ever shop at Hobby Lobby again…
  • The Overprotected Kid, The Atlantic — A look at play and safety though the lens of a new kind of playground.

This week, a video from Kid President:

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. 😂
