We’re in the middle of potty training. I’ve mentioned trying to potty train on my site before, and thanks to the wisdom I gained potty training my first, I realize that physiological readiness (a.k.a. ability to hold it) is just as important as enthusiasm and coordination to get to the bathroom, get undressed and go.

We went camping, again, this past weekend. But, this time we started off the weekend canoeing down the Russian River, through the wine country. What a blast! Like every other place I’ve floated down a river, there are a number of outfitters who have set up shop on the banks who will rent all the […]
Post graduation, we headed out to Butano, near the town of Pescadero in the hills of Santa Cruz to camp with the neighbors. Wow. I’m afraid to post good pictures of the place for fear that it will cease to be as incredible as it is today. This is a Disney forest with mossy branches, […]

Somehow, the cosmos aligned bringing me all sorts of wonderful things on my birthday. Some of those things were presents – a gift certificate for Anthropologie, my favorite store now that thrift stores are inconvenient (kids); a starter sewing kit, which considering I’ve been sewing just about all my life seems like a funny thing […]
In preparation for Will beginning kindergarten in the fall, we’ve been paying close attention to his development. I’m happy to say that he is on par or advanced in all areas the school will be assessing, but I’m a little nervous that one of the areas is the child’s ability to tell real from imaginary. […]
