30 Days of Thanks, Voluntary Simplicity

Thankfulness vs. Desire

It felt a little funny not to post yesterday about what I am thankful for.  I very much enjoyed my 30 day thankfulness project and the fact that, even on less than easy or "bad" days (of which there were only two), I was still able to find thin[...]

Talking About Birth

As I begin to position myself as an information source, an expert of sorts, on pregnancy, birth, and parenting, I've had to spend time thinking about what type of information I want to relay.  Through Papoose's website, Facebook page, and in-st[...]

No Easy Decision

Many of you may know that I have a slight obsession with MTV's 16 and Pregnant, which I watch online.  It's a show just like it sounds -- reality TV that follows teenagers through pregnancy, birth, and either initial months of parenthood or ado[...]

If you believe Erica Jong, this:is my 18 (21...25...?) year prison sentence. In case you missed it, in The Wall Street Journal 's "Saturday Essay" last weekend, Jong wrote about the evils of attachment and green parenting: You wear your baby, s[...]

What Nora Shouldn’t Read

First a note:  Last week was banned book week, and I kept trying to get a post out about it, but with everything that's been going on, it just didn't happen.  It worked out better that way, though, because I was going to write a two part post[...]

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. 😂
