LET’S TALK HOLIDAY MUSIC | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011. We put up our Christmas tree yesterday, and officially broke out the Christmas music. I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas music. It makes me feel all warm and glow-y for about a week, and then I grow totally sick of it and don’t want to hear it again for another year. I think a part of this is the fact that, really, it’s pretty much the same 25-30 songs being recycled into different versions and . . .
OCCUPY CHRISTMAS | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011. Well, folks, here I am again. At your service, poised and ready to take the fun out of another holiday! (Just kidding. Mostly.) Although, I AM planning on completely sitting out this Thanksgiving. My kids whine and complain ever year about the traditional Thanksgiving fare. I’m not really excited about cooking all day just to hear them complain about the food. You know what I hate? Whining. You know what else I . . .
THE SEVEN STAGES OF PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE PANIC | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011. Jafta had his first parent-teacher conference of first grade this week. The teacher planned the conference pretty far in advance, so it was nearly a month ago that she sent home the schedule with the tentative times for the conference. I noticed pretty quickly that while every kid in the class appeared to be schedule for a 30 minute conference, it appeared that the time slot directly after Jafta’s conference . . .
RAISING MONEY FOR CHARITY: WATER I ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011. | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011. Recently I’ve been reading Claire Ortiz’s new book called Twitter for Good, which is full of stories about how twitter has impacted the world. I know a lot of people view social media as a trivial distraction. Some might even think it’s an exercise in narcissism. I get that. Sometimes it is. But sometimes, social media can be used to do amazing things.In my own life, I’ve seen social media used as a medium . . .
IDEAS FOR AN ETHICAL HALLOWEEN | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011. I’ve been wanting to do a follow-up post on the connection between child slavery and chocolate. In case you missed it, the low-down is here . . . but in a nutshell a BBC documentary revealed that child labor and even child trafficking is rampant in chocolate production, and that chocolate from most mainstream candy companies can be traced back to farms employing (and even buying) children to work in dangerous . . .
MORE FUN WITH THE HP TOUCHSMART COMPUTER | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011. Over the summer, HP asked if I would like to review their new TouchSmart desktop computer. My family quickly fell in love with it, and thanks to my refusal to send it back my enthusiasm about the product, HP let us keep it a little longer. I mentioned in my previous review that I’m a little bit Amish about kids and computers. Yep, I’m one of those moms who thinks that the next generation is having their brains sucked out . . .
DO BOYS REALLY PLAY WITH TOYS? | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011. With the new school schedule, I have two days a week where I’m home with just India and Karis. It’s . . . interesting. It’s so quiet. And so easy. I’ve actually been blown away by how different it is, and I think there is one main reason: My boys don’t play with toys. My girls do. My girls will sit for hours and entertain themselves with toys. They don’t need any prompting from me. They create little stories. They . . .
THE POST WHERE YOU PROVIDE ME WITH SOME FAQ’S I CAN ANSWER | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM OCTOBER 2011. I had my blog re-designed about a year ago, and I added an FAQ page to the menu bar. I’m not really sure what I had planned for this page, I guess it just seemed like a good idea at the time. If you click on it, you can see that I’ve really done a lot with it. Ahem. Anyways, I need to pull it together and create something a little more interesting. Except that I don’t really have any frequently asked questions. Well, . . .
LAST WEEK IN IPHONE PHOTOS | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2011. I think it’s been more than a week since I purged the iphone photos. I’m a wee bit behind on blogging. And emails. And life in general. Ever have days where you have so much to do that you just sit, paralyzed, staring at the computer screen, sort o opening and closing browser windows wondering where to start and then realizing it’s been two hours and you’ve done nothing? Yeah. I’ve been doing a lot of that . . .
