Warm weather is here! I love taking advantage of the California sun. Long days by the pool with the boys is the best. On our trip to Hawaii B loved hanging out in the pool and wading in the ocean waves, but he wouldn’t swim. It’s not that he COULDN’T swim, he had swimming lessons 2 […]

Friend Of The Week
B’s preschool does something called Friend of the Week. Each week a different classmate has a turn being the Friend of the Week (FOW). It’s such a great experience for the children. Even though they enjoy being in the spotlight they also learn confidence and assertiveness. It’s amazing how much growth can develop from a […]
B Sharted
It happens to everyone at least once in a lifetime. Your tummy rumbles, you think it’s a fart, you let it rip….UH-OH!!!!! My little B experienced his first shart. Imagine his astonishment when he thought he was merely breaking wind but actually dropped a small bomb in his Scooby Doo undies. I felt really bad […]
Birthday Dinner At Ko Restaurant
It was a lovely coincidence that my birthday fell on Spring Break. While hanging in Maui with the boys I kept my celebration simple, a fun day in the sand with Mo and B then dinner at Ko Restaurant at the Fairmont Kea Lani. Being with my kids was the brightest part of my day […]
Spring Break At The Fairmont Kea Lani
I’ve never taken the boys away for a Spring Break trip. So, for our first rendezvous it was a unanimous vote to head to the beautiful beaches of Maui. (Thanks to a Scooby Doo Wiki Tiki episode Bronson was all in!) I couldn’t wait to get to the Fairmont Kea Lani for the festivities. Having […]
Redshirting For Kindergarten
With Bronson turning 5 this year and starting Kindergarten in the Fall, there has been lots of talk about Redshirting for Kindergarten. The term REDSHIRT comes from athletics. College athletes are redshirted to extend eligibility in sports by providing an additional year for growth and maturation. They train with the team but do not compete […]
We Are Different
Sometimes I feel I push my kids too hard. I expect a lot out of them. Good grades should be the norm. Great manners should be as natural as breathing. Being helpful around the house is expected. Maybe it’s a figment in my mind but I always tell my kids they need to work harder […]
Nora’s Playdate Rules
Bronson is a really easy kid. He’s nice, funny, independent, and listens pretty decent for a preschooler. These fine qualities have made him very popular for playdates. He has quickly become a Playdate Kingpin at his school. Playdate requests come flooding in so much that Bronson has taken the liberty of arranging his own social […]
B Makes His Own Snack
Sometimes good things come from being lazy. One morning B asked for a snack. I was beyond tired from pulling an all nighter studying for the GRE and simply couldn’t move. I guess after asking for the zillionith time and not getting a response, my hungry child took matters into his own famished hands. He […]
What President Obama Means To My Kids
I remember sitting in Social Studies class learning about the Presidents of the United States. I was so bored. I looked at the picture my teacher was showing and thought, “I can’t really relate to any of these old white haired men”. The only President I felt a remote connection with was a young, charismatic […]
