30 Days of Thanks: Work Completed

I'm one week into my great business experiment (the one where I offered a web design package and set out to build one site per week) and so far all is looking good.  I finished the first website perfectly on time and am very pleased with i[...]

Not June Cleaver

I love sitting in a clean house.  I love knowing that every room is picked up, the floors are fur free (at least until someone pets the dog -- NO ONE PET THE DOG!!), and there isn't a single dish festering in the sink; knowing that I can s[...]

Report Card

I need to manage my time better.  I just spent 20 minutes deciding on/editing/uploading on a new cover photo for my Facebook timeline.  The dishes are done, the bathroom is clean, and the floors were swept yesterday, but mopping just[...]

First Week

I came back from Texas with a cold (caught on the way there, presumably), and though I feel much better now, I feel like we are running a few days behind.  I was good the first day back about pushing through, and managed to get the downsta[...]

Hiring Help

In the world of parenting blogs, there has been much discussion lately of how we "do it all": cooking healthy and homemade meals, maintaining an immaculate house, and raising perfect and adorable children, all while finding time to blog about it[...]

I’ll Never Be a Professional Blogger

Last week in the New York Magazine, there was an article about the Queens of Mommy Bloggers.  As I read through the article, couldn't help but think that I will never be a professional blogger.  These women make hundreds of thousands (maybe ev[...]

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. 😂
