In addition to the specific resources for this week, we are also listening to Story of the World (SOTW) on CD, watching selected episodes of Drive Thru History, and keeping a cummulative timeline of things we learn in history. I am planning appropriate activities for Mia that are a little less complicated than last year...
It felt to so good to have us some L and N time. They change so quickly when they’re little.
I had the privilege of being a part of the Adoption Blogger Interview Project this year. Random pairs of us were matched to interview each other blog-style.

I don’t know what was in the water today, but these mamas certainly needed a night out…sans kids. It’s been over 2 years since our MOPS group dissolved, but we always manage to start right where we left off. You know it’s bad when the staff leave the parking lot before you do.

First night out without kids. We headed to an Appetizer/Dessert-Themed Gourmet Club. Can you say peanut butter chocolate bread pudding and champagne Jello with cranberry and pomegranate?
