Bummer
Today I was told that I am no longer allowed to post photos of one of my favorite subjects to photo sharing sites such as MySpace and Flickr (I can only assume that Picasa is considered a photo sharing site as well.) Can I post them on my own website and then link to them…
What Will the Future Bring?
Have your fortune told today.
Troop 3360 Daisies: Email Lists and Calendar
There are two email lists for the troop, and I ask that the parents of all girls participating in Daisies be on these lists to ensure that announcements are easy to make. General troop announcements will be sent out on the main list while Daisy information (such as information about what we will be doing)…

you’d have no idea what his hobby is, right?
Troop 3360 Daisies: Daisy Uniforms
I would prefer it, but will not require it, that each girl participating has a Daisy smock. If you are handy with a sewing machine or even can get some blue fabric to cut a head hole and make a smock, that would be excellent. Or, they available for about $12 at the Badge and…
Troop 3360 Daisies: Preparations
I’ve set up the troop email list and gone to the Service Unit meeting. Last night, I googled about Daisy activities and bookmarked a lot of sites. Today we picked up poster board, Sharpies, crayons and supplies to make “Girl Scout Law” bracelets.
Troop 3360 Daisies: Registration
Participating girls that will be five by the first of January are required to register and pay the $10 registration fee. We also ask that any adult who will participate in any way register as well. Dana has the forms and will provide them at the organizational meeting next week. In addition, the council asks…
Kids’ Music In Atlanta
The old “Kids in Atlanta” blog was just not in the right place, so I’ve moved it to be ont he same account as this one. http://kidsmusicinatlanta.blogspot.com/ Don’t hesitate to send us any news for it!
100 Feeds
Whoa. I have one hundred feeds in my bloglines account now. Not all are active feeds, but it still seems like a huge number! Almost half are related to children’s music, of course. Mostly, I enjoy this easy way of keeping up-to-date with friends who are near and far.
Homeschooling 101
Among parents, schooling is a topic of converstaion that comes around again and again. We all know that the choice of school is an important one and that there is no one right answer. For our family, the right answer is homeschooling. Our two daughters, Camille (almost 9) and Chloe (just 5) have been homeschooled…
Mascot Names
I’d prefer mascots with cool names. In my hometown, we were the Peekskill Red Devils. On the show “Facts of Life”, we were the “Peekskill Pirates” which was so much beter, especially that our rivals were the “Hen Hud (Henry Hudson) Sailors”. Then in college, we were the Colgate Red Raiders. But no mascot. Then…
Busy At Home
We’ve been home for a couple of days, but as I’ve been sick, it has taken us a bit longer to get back into the swing of things. When Camille got home from her sleepover today, we were finally ready to return to “normal”, whatever that really means. Tomorrow we’re headed out of town again,…

Is Junie B. Jones Talking Trash?By ANNA JANE GROSSMANPublished: July 26, 2007The New York Times I guess I’m not the only one who had a strong negative reaction to these books. In a house where I need to encourage my child to stop reading, I don’t have much patience for these books…
Have you met my friend Tom?
(For those of you on MySpace, no, no that Tom). I have a new friend Tom. As I get to know him better, I think he will become a great guide for me on my journeys in life. His real name is TomTom One XL, and he speaks with a very soothing British accent (well,…
