Zoo Trip

One day this week I took the boys to a local zoo. It’s not one of the big zoos in Philadelphia or New York-those are fun too, but we had quite a heat wave going on and we wanted something to do that would get us out to  enjoy the relative cool of the morning [...]

June Is A Busy Month!

At least in this family it is. There’s all the end-of-school chaos, and then we have several birthdays in the family this month so there’s something going on just about every day this month here. The boys and I have spent the week enjoying the first few days of summer vacation – they’ve done a [...]

A few posts back I promised to show you all some pictures of Liam’s Tooth Fairy pillow when I finished it and actually found the cable to the camera. Well, I found the cable so here we go. These aren’t the best pictures – I just got some quick shots of the pillow and didn’t [...]

Liam got mad at me at dinner tonight. He has a kite that he tried to fly this afternoon, but the maiden flight didn’t go far due to lack of wind. I told him he could try again after school tomorrow, and he insisted it had to be tonight. I tried to explain that there [...]

Waldorf teachers use the traditional northern European fairy tales as stories in their younger classes.

Thanksgiving?

Well, let me tell you a little tale about a pair of anxious parents-to-be. They had waited months to see their sweet little baby boy, to count his toes, to count his fingers, and to gaze, enraptured, at the the thought that a tiny, tiny, bit of Mommy and a tiny, tiny, tiny, bit of [...]
