Last year, just about this time, my son’s school had their annual fall admissions open house. I was a parent tour guide and it was crazy amounts of fun. Meeting new people and their kids, talking about a place I believe in with every fiber is about the most fun I can have in public. [...]

Right now I am collapsed in a heap on my sofa. It’s been a busy day, but wow… so much fun! After a quick trip to the Strip District for a few last minute items I was off to the Hebrew National Better-Than-A-Picnic picnic in Highland Park. We had great hotdogs (I mean really, really [...]

Oliver likes school. That may be the understatement of the year. When I picked him up from that first day I asked him if he liked it and if he wanted to go back the next day. “I want to go back EVERY day,” was his reply. And he’s been unwavering in that sentiment. My [...]

One of the many things I love about Oliver’s school is how the older kids treat the younger ones. Since everyone changes classes, even the PKs, they are out and about in the school. It’s a small place (600 or so students in PK – 12) so they get to know each other quickly, [...]

I’ve been a bad little blogger. Not that I haven’t been thinking about it. This post has been rattling around in my brain for weeks. It started in late August when I knew the family was in for some schedule changes when Oliver started at his new school. I started trying to modify my sleep [...]

I’m a morning person. It took forever to figure that out, with it finally being a matter of realizing I don’t typically get squat done in the afternoon. Living with a confirmed night owl also helped reinforce this discovery. Lately I have tried to do it all. Get up early with the kids, or to [...]
