Back to School
The magic of reading...
December 02, 2008
Today we had our official first, 1st grade parent-teacher-student conference. It was a little different from what I remember as a kid because my 6 year-old led the first part of the meeting by escorting his dad and I around the room and showing us what he has learned so far this year. The second part of the meeting was typical, the teachers (he has two) went over his test scores and progress so Read more...
Back-to-Preschool!
September 02, 2008
While many grammar schools have been back in session for weeks, it is finally preschool time again. Tomorrow my 4 year-old Solomon and I have a back-to-school get together at our preschool. He has been groaning and whining for weeks, so he is absolutely thrilled to be going back to the world of big kids'. Since I've been through this whole preschool deal before, I thought I'd give some Read more...

Back to School Bargains
August 21, 2008
I love a bargain. I'm a sale shopper and if someone gives me a compliment on a piece of clothing I am one of those people who says, "Thanks! Macy's clearance - five bucks!" With back-to-school shopping upon us I've been dreading the hunt for bargains when I know I have to buy my boys new shoes, rain boots, snow boots, jackets, pants, shirts, socks, sweatshirts, etc. etc. I was contemplating Read more...
Savoring Summer
August 14, 2008
I'm having a little trouble dealing with the fact that summer vacation is almost over. Today we went to a back-to-school picnic, met my son's new first grade teacher and classmates. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely ready to have a break from my kids and they are ready the fun and structure of school. However, this summer has been a sweet and leisurely one that will soon be replaced with a Read more...
Bouncing back-to-school
August 12, 2008
We have one week left until school starts and instead of the balmy fall weather I remember at back-to-school time as a kid, it is H-O-T. My boys and I are trying to enjoy these last days of summer vacation to the fullest, and a necessary part of that enjoyment is finding ways to stay cool. Aside from the obvious: hitting the river in Sac or Folsom, Folsom Lake or the plethora of community Read more...
