[…] Yesterday I went down to retrieve my kiddos from the cul-de-sac group play. I was talking with a neighbor and I looked down to see a car pull into the home next to mine (which is vacant and for sale.) A few moments later I see a woman I only recognize by site as the wife of the neighbor I met a few times right after our move and before theirs, I’ve never officially met her. But the interesting part is who is by her side talking with her. It’s my daughter. […]

[…] The most embarrassing moment was when it was time to take a picture with Curious George. There were two photographers sitting on the floor watching us walk across the room to meet with the monkey. If they didn’t notice my feet before, I’m sure they did then. I sat on the bench and smiled, all the while trying to discretely hide one foot behind the monkey’s legs. Didn’t work . . . it was captured on film for future embarrassment. Pass the Torch Tuesday is an opportunity for bloggers to celebrate the ways they see kids/young people doing things RIGHT! These are the little things we witness everyday, that make us proud of and hopeful about the generation to whom we pass the torch. […]

[…] With Christmas upon us, I’ve been really busy. Buying presents, baking, and sending Christmas cards. I often miss something, and can’t remember everything. I like to have my kids give their teachers a little gift. This year, I bought their teachers Apple Ornaments that I had personalized. As much as my kids say they want THIS for Christmas and they want THAT for Christmas, I was so surprised when my son this morning spoke up and said,” What did you get for the nurses at school, Mom!” That made me feel really good, that he was thinking of them, and helped me to remember I’d almost forgotten them. So I ran over to Starbucks and got them gift certificates. I don’t know how much of my ,”It’s better to Give than Recieve” talk they listen too, but it was a refreshing change to hear him being so thoughtful. […]
