Realizing that my summer is slowly drawing to a close, I am a bit sad. Not because I will miss the days of flexibility or lack of schedule. Not because I will miss the blogging, writing, and tweeting whenever I want (though ok, I will miss that!), but because it means that my summer of [...]

Creation and Innovation

Exteding the HexBug starter Kit

I admit it, as a teacher, I live with the occupational hazard of over analyzing just about everything that Principessa does.  Ad nauseam.  As a teacher of advanced academics, I walk a very fine line between thinking that maybe my child has strengths and just accepting her as a normal child. The truth is that [...]

Welcome to the mystery of how I survived Williamsburg and Jamestown, two stops on a fantastic mommy-daughter camp trip.  If you missed it, our mystery of survival started with preparing even before we left and then getting settled at the lovely Fife and Drum Inn. The question was, once there, how did we survive? The [...]

July 19, 2011

Last week Principessa and I went on an adventure as part of our Mommy-Daughter camp summer.  Traveling with my daughter to Williamsburg….

Wordless Wednesday: The Asleep Edition

June 8, 2011

Principessa is away with her Nonni….and so it seems fitting that for this Wordless Wednesday I share how I found her one evening.  Asleep. In a pose that almost makes the fact that she once upon a time fit inside my belly– feel ALMOST possible. In a pose that makes you question whether she is [...]

How Do You Stop a Ticking Time Bomb?

June 7, 2011

She was tired. There had been of course THE kindergarten graduation, which was a culmination of months of practice. There had been singing with the junior choir at temple. There was the arrival of her Nonni. There was the “you are free to swim” announcement from the ENT. There was a soccer game. It had [...]

Once Upon a Time

June 2, 2011

Once upon a time there was a little girl whose life blessed those of all around her, every single day, with every single smile, and with every single giggle. On this special November day, she embarked on a new adventure, a new journey. Donning a new backpack, a new lunch box, and the perfect fall [...]

XOXO

May 27, 2011

Today is the last day I will be dropping Principessa off at her Montessori school. Her dad will drive her there three more times next week, culminating in a graduation morning where we will be serenaded by a ear to ear smiles. There will be many hugs, many kisses. There will be laughter and pride.  [...]

Life Could not Get Much Better

May 13, 2011

It has been a crazy week.  So going into the weekend, I am reminded as I look through the pictures on my iPhone of the little things in life. The little things that remind us that life is easy, life is good, and of course, life is yummy. Last weekend, my parents were here.  Rocket [...]

Graduating to a New Kind of Morning

May 12, 2011

Three weeks from today I will sit. I will watch. I will probably cry.  I will be seated next to Rocket, my mom, Principessa’s dad, and a room full of other families, watching adoringly as our precious kindergartners parade and sing; and….alas…graduate. Three weeks from today will mark the end of almost four years of [...]
