Noah has summer homework each year of pre-school. It’ pretty intense. We have to make a summer book. Okay, I’m lying. We so don’t have to make the book–they do provide that for us and they should for the tuition we pay, but we do have to write in it and fill it out. It [...]
Just when I think that maybe, I could not sent my kids to the private school Noah attends. Maybe we could then buy that vacation home we want (okay we really don’t want one–but we could have one). Maybe Bill could get a new car. Then I listen to something like this and am reminded [...]
Travel with little ones cannot be called a vacation–there was super little vacationing that occurred during out time in Cali. Very little. One night–a mere 2 hours of vacation in the 7 days we were gone. Not bad considering. But I am exhausted. Even my toes are tired. These kids wear us out. The one [...]
We are leaving in a few days for out family vacation to California. We’ll only be there for 5 days (not including travel days). We’ll be spending all of our time in Southern California. As someone who live in California we just have too much we want to squeeze into our short time there. We [...]
Summer is certainly in full-swing here, even though it doesn’t officially start until June 21 (?). I’m working and for the first time and really missing being a teacher. I loved having the option of having my summer off. But now that I am working a full-time gig and Noah’s in summer camp and Zoë [...]
I cannot believe that April is coming to a close. Time is moving so fast. Too fast for someone who is in the middle of a research project that she somehow has to turn into a 15-25 page research report due two weeks from tomorrow. That is only 14 days away and I am no [...]
I am reminded nearly everyday how fast my kiddos are growing. This past weekend we went to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt. I am reminded of how the first year we went to an Easter egg hunt I had to follow him around and help him put eggs in his basket. Last year he was [...]
Who thought with a kid in private pre-school, I’d have to be dealing with bullies. But in these tough economic times, Noah’s class has two. Dad wants him to tell the bullies “no” when they hit/kick him and if they continue then he should hit them back. I am not a fan of this and [...]
So, today I took Zoë to get her ears pierced today. I have been wanting to do it for some time now and Bill and I agreed that I would wait until after her 2nd birthday. I have been talking to her about it for a few weeks, getting her prepared. I have to say [...]
