Question of the day - How do you deal with bullies and how do you discuss it with your kids?
My daughter is in kindergarten this year and it is fabulous. We love her teachers, her school, and her class. My husband and I and Natalie are very happy with our luck!
But, there is a little girl...

I am attempting to do the un-thinkable this Fall. I’m working part time, working for myself, PLUS taking three ECE classes. (One on-line and two in Davis.) I happen to have the same teacher for my two face-to-face classes and I adore her. She’s funny, interesting, kind, thought...

Aishida has started kindergarten and she likes it, but I didn’t expect anything else. You could throw her in the middle of the ocean and she’d be fine! She adapts really well to any situation, she’s having fun and she likes her teacher. She comes home every day excited about...

When my son was in the third grade, I had the opportunity to attend a life-changing workshop. The workshop was presented by the Davis Joint Unified School District and was all about organization skills and children on the Autism Spectrum. I know this sounds dull, but stay with me here.

This morning, the triplets rode their bikes to school. They were so excited.
When we practiced this the week before school was in session, I wasn't thinking straight. I was fantasizing about my school days riding my bike to school. Of course, I started doing that when...

I am back in the class room tomorrow. And back with a vengeance, if I may say.
Today, I spent a good part of my day getting prepared. I don't mean lesson planning or reading my materials. I'm not a first-year teacher.
No, today was all about preparing myself for what's about to come. I...

GO!!!!!!!!!
Man-cub starts the 9th grade next Wednesday. In Davis that means this is his last year of Junior High School. Our HS goes 10-12th grade, but his grades still count as if he were in HS. Complicated, I know.
My classes start Monday. This will be my third year of chipping away...

It started out as any other first day of school... nothing much out of the ordinary... My 4th and 6th grader get up at 6:30am and do their morning routine as if on auto-pilot: eat breakfast, put on school uniforms, brush hair, brush teeth, make bed, make lunch, empty the...

It’s that time of year again. I can practically SMELL the pencils being sharpened and hear the moaning as I mention that this week is the last week of summer. Sadly, it’s the last week for us both (my classes start Monday, man-cub’s start Wednesday).
We always like to...

My entire adult life I’ve felt out of place. Mainly because when people ask, "what you do?" I take a deep breath and think hard. My jobs change frequently, as do the titles that accompany them. If I listed all the hats I’ve worn in my life, you’d be astounded, and then...

I had an interesting phone conversation last night with the vice principal at my son’s school. He’s had issues this year with some girls who he’s “friends” with not being so great to him and causing him problems, if not physical pain. Yes, my son has been...

As a kid, I would start the summer countdown right after Christmas. Marking each day off my calendar with big red sharpie X’s. Once I left school, I didn’t think I’d have that same sensation, counting down till summer.
Now, that sharpie is out once again. I can’t...

This morning was one of those rare mornings where the three of us were home together. My man hadn’t left for work yet and man-cub and I were getting ready for school. This morning was pretty typical. Me directing our 14 year old to everything he needed to do (as if it were for the first...

Like any other kind of stone; kidney stone, gallstone, a milestone can be difficult. Overnight it seems I find myself living with two men rather than my little boy and my husband. I know I’ve talked a little about this realization before here, but this week we had a big milestone.
On...
