What I've Been Talking About
Mom's Museum School
I'm with you CaliMomma! And by the way, my children who go to PUBLIC school have friends in every grade level. They learn from the older ones and mentor the younger ones. Plus every teacher they've had has something to more to offer (special talent, different perspective...) than I could alone. And BOOOOO to the museum school that offers first chance to alumni. First chance should go to those wait-listed the year before or strictly by lottery.
Not Acceptable?Freezer Bag Fashion
Good idea. We usually only vacation a few days at a time, so I only pack clothes that coordinate (if the purple and red top isn't in the suitcase, you can't pair it with the pink princess skirt). That way no matter what pants come out of the bag, the shirt will be fine. Also, each child has their own little suitcase so their clothes stay separate.
Not Acceptable?Parent Moments: Letting It Go
My advice to new parents is always "keep your sense of humor - you'll need it!" We all need reminding sometimes. The other day my 9 year old sat in some mustard and as I was getting upset about her brand new shorts that she was wearing for the first time, my husband mentioned to me that the reason he never wants to wear new clothes is that his mom would yell at him if he messed them up. Ouch! I'll choose messed up clothes/furniture/carpets over messed up psyches any day of the week!
