This morning the girls offered to be my servants for the day, so I didn’t have to “do anything”. First up was breakfast. Nella took the order and Elise was the chef. I had toast and jam, then a bowl of cereal then an apple. Next up was planning the meal for the day and [...]

My first sonnet
Friday, June 17, 2011
Sonnet I To a Preschool Teacher Let us not to the preschool day Admit a bound’ry. Art is not Art which declares that a cat cannot be pink, Nor that flowers do not grow on clouds. O no! It is the place where little hands Are free to squish, to splash, to make great messes. [...]
Technology & Education
Tuesday, October 19, 2010
Since we have decided to home school our children, I have become very interested in how people learn and how I can help my kids learn. Being a techno-geek, I of course, am looking into how technology can be used effectively. Our kids love the iPad (and iPhone) and when they are using it, it [...]
When Should We Introduce Social Media to Kids?
Monday, October 4, 2010
Re: the topic here: http://db.tidbits.com/article/11633 I think it’s pretty simple actually. Supervise them until you feel they can handle what they encounter. Make sure they feel comfortable coming to you with questions about it. Don’t over protect, 99% of their interactions will be harmless. Did I miss any?

Along for the Ride
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
Today Elise is a fairy with a pet unicorn on a leash and I am afraid of it but don’t worry, I can pet it because she holds it tightly so she won’t jump up. Yesterday she was a puppy called Scamp and Daniella was a puppy called Angel. Yesterday Daniella was a broomstick and [...]
Tucking in for Girls Night
Friday, June 4, 2010
Long time no blog. Terrible for someone who’s supposed to be a writer! I was going to post a FB status update but decided to do this instead. The girls and I have a new tradition. When Erin is out for the evening we have a girls night. We watch a movie while we are [...]
A toilet training miracle
Monday, March 15, 2010
Out of the blue Daniella decided to start toilet training to surprise Papa when he got home from his business trip. The first day went as you would expect – a lot of wet pants and use of my Little Green Machine on the carpet. By that evening, she did a poop on the potty [...]
What? How frustrating
Wednesday, February 10, 2010
Elise is having trouble hearing. It seems like it is just a problem with wax buildup (our Doctor couldn’t even see her inner ear) and hopefully when we get the wax looked after her hearing will be fine. Don’t get me wrong, I feel for her but it is SO FRUSTRATING constantly hearing “What?” all [...]
Sticker Charts Galore
Wednesday, December 16, 2009
Trying to get Daniella to try toilet training and she is just not interested. So, I am not going to push it but she wants a Plum Pudding figurine so she has been willing to at least sit on the potty in exchange for a sticker. She needs 10 stickers. Elise wanted to get in [...]
