Incentives for Wee Geeks
When i first started blogging, I was worried that I might become just another Mommy blogger. There is nothing wrong with being a Mommy Blogger, but I had this notion that, somehow, I would no longer have interests of my own. Obviously, that’s not how it actually works. Another concern I had, as a parent …
Creativity and me
I started this blog as a place where I could geek out about things, share ideas, and, yes, talk about the cool stuff I do with my kids. It somehow became much more about the kids than the geekery. Perhaps this is a stage that all parents go through, perhaps it is just a stage …
Cardboard Luxury Home
As a parent who is concerned about proper nutrition for her kids, I try to get the best food available. That said, I only have a certain amount of time per week, and I do not have the option of driving to the grocery store while my children are at school. Needless to say, …
Recent Projects and Other Activities
As I continue my studies, I have found that the balance between parenting, chores, coursework, and creativity is rather elusive. There is so much on my cafeteria tray of life that I only get to taste a little bit of the fun stuff. This is why I try to work some creative endeavors into other …
New projects have been envisioned!
One year, I don’t remember whether we had a Christmas tree, but I do remember helping my mom cover the entire front room with kraft paper, and making presents and ribbons and even a life-size fireplace out of paper. We hung our stockings in front of the paper fireplace. It was like the world had been magically transformed, and my Mom became a hero because she had done this. I also recall a time when she sat on the floor with me and we drew pictures on haunted houses using my huge box of crayons. My Mom is a very creative person, and the times when I was able to share the creation of things with her are cherished moments. I even remember hunting together for pinecones and then dipping them in glue and glitter to make beautiful sparkling decorations.
Geektober!
It’s here! The busiest month of my year! So much to do, and seemingly never enough time! I could shock you all with a listing of my schedule for the month, which includes fundraisers, PTA events, and oh so many birthday parties… but I don’t want to remind myself of the monumental size of my …
Maps and other exciting things!
I want to start out by mentioning that my post about books came a few days too soon, because it was just shy of the release date of No Small Bills, Aaron’s latest novel. It has only been out a few days, and has already been featured on the NOOK blog, and made it onto …
The Whirlwind that is Summer
As mentioned, I was planning to have guest bloggers all Summer because, naturally, it is a very busy season. It turns out that it is a very busy season for everyone, because several people have had schedule upheavals and weren’t able to send me their promised posts. No worries! I imagine there will be a …
Summer Creativity for Little Geeks
My kids will be staying home this Summer, as the cost of day camp is high and the quality often low. Since they will be with me 24/7, I have been putting together a schedule of activities to keep them occupied and happy. I’ve already signed them up for the New York Public Library Summer …
My Life is Like a Spiderweb

Here it is, January 2012. Some believe it is the end of the world. Many of us know that the Mayan calendar does not end, but begins again. Does this mean that history is doomed to repeat itself, as the calendar repeats? One thing I have noticed over the past year (from filling out dates …
