July Celebrations

July brings one of our favorite holidays.  I'm a real sucker for red, white, and blue, summer sun and simple celebrations of unity and promise, so I get super excited when the 4th of July roles around.  Just like last year, we joined No[...]

Mother’s Day

There's been a lot of perfection lately. Monday we had fun discovering a new park after an awesomely killer stroller strides class.  There was gorgeous summer weather, friends, and a fossil-filled wall perfect for climbing.[...]

Film Friday: New Years Eve

We had a blast New Years Eve with our friends and I decided to make a movie!  This is actually the first year that we did anything to celebrate New Years since, probably, college.  Chris usually works until 11:30 or so on New Years Eve and get[...]

Yesterday was Diwali and, as is our tradition, we celebrated with a big party filled with friends, food, and candle light.  I was too tired last night to manage two blog posts, but hopefully I can do two today and then I will be all caught 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. 😂

Visiting my sweet tiny niece. I had the honor of being the doula at her birth and helping her come into the world. Her parents did amazingly (especially her mama) and everyone is excited to have another little girl in the family.
