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 …
Tracking the Past
I recently found a new hobby. Okay, actually, it’s a new obsession. I have begun tracking my family tree. I have always wanted to do this, but felt I didn’t have the time. In fact, I don’t have any extra time, but I decided it was a more productive use of the time between when …
Making Moustaches!
Anyone who has been following fun and popular things to do lately has probably seen that pretend moustaches are a big deal. Sunglasses come with one attached, pre-glued ones abound, temporary tattoo finger ‘staches, even gold necklaces with jeweled moustache-shaped pendants! I thought I had blogged about the ‘staches I made this summer, and perhaps …
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.
A Creative Look at Age
I recently celebrated my birthday. It was a lovely day, shared with friends and family. As I encountered people during the week leading up to my birthday, I was told repeatedly that it was my twenty-ninth birthday. I find this to be a very interesting and odd aspect of our society. We seem to collectively …
Happy Birthday, GSUSA!

Some of the best fun I remember as a kid was during my brief time as a Brownie Girl Scout. I also have very fond memories of how lovely summertime was when my sister was away at Girl Scout camp. So, when I discovered that there was a troop nearby that my daughter could join, …
