30 Days of Thanks

Not too long after I hit publish on my post about starting a school, I realized that I can't be as absent from the blog as I had written, because there is no way I can let November go by without doing another 30 Days of Thanks post. Two years a[...]

Film Friday: Thanksgiving

I'm sneaking in a post this morning, and it's a Film Friday post!  I haven't made a video for a long time, mostly because I haven't been shooting a lot of footage because it's hard to do since I don't actually have a video camera.  Ev[...]

Post Thanksgiving/Redo

We were lucky enough to spend Nora's first Thanksgiving at Marc & Margarete's with the whole Cassalina clan, which is just about as good as having our own family around, but we realized meant no leftovers at our house, and missing some o[...]

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. ๐Ÿ˜‚
