silver in seattle: March 2006

http://silverinseattle.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html

An occasional word or two about life and adventures in seattle. Thursday, March 30, 2006. The folks at facebook seem pretty cool. The big facebook news these days is whether or not they are worth $2 billion and, if so, who will buy them. wired campus. Is doing a good job providing updates. But i've got a different kind of facebook story. as some of you may recall, last quarter. One project was called Best Project Ever and it pretty much kicked ass. it was a group project - thought about, discussed, d...

Family in Progress: March 2012

http://family-in-progress.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 2, 2012. I Didn’t Like Pinterest. Then I Joined. I finally took the plunge—I signed up for Pinterest. The online pinboard where people can "pin" and share what they’re pining for. Basically, it’s a streaming visual jumble of trends, recipes, home ideas, and crafts. (From what I can gather on Pinterest, I’m forecasting a spring filled with ombre, ruffles, candy-bar inspired baked treats, slouchy bags, and savory foods baked in muffin tins.). Need a reminder of all the projects I'm not. But f...

Family in Progress: September 2011

http://family-in-progress.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 28, 2011. A few days ago my four-year-old—my FOUR. Year-old—requested a cell phone. Her complete confidence in her need for a cell phone, and in the fact that I would surely agree with her and rush out to get one, was both admirable and unsettling. The conversation began while I was bent over the bathtub, washing her sister’s hair. It went like this:. Her: “Mom, I need a real phone.”. Me: “Like a play phone? You have one of those.”. Me: (Incredulous.) “You mean a real phone? Have too...

Family in Progress: July 2011

http://family-in-progress.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Zen and the Art of Daddy Day Care. During the summer, I’m one lucky gal. My teacher hubby is at home most days, so we swap childcare duties and work time as needed. His parenting style is different from mine: he scolds less, plays more, and isn’t nearly as productive (and yes, that is a good thing! I’m definitely learning a thing or two from him. Here are a few pieces of daddy parenting wisdom, courtesy of my husband. Put Your Feet Up, Already. The Joy of Single-Tasking. Since i...

Family in Progress: Dazzleberry lemonade

http://family-in-progress.blogspot.com/2010/10/dazzleberry-lemonade.html

Wednesday, October 13, 2010. Bianca started the day asking if we could make Dazzleberry Lemonade- something mentioned in the Yo Gabba Gabba DVD we checked out from the library. I thought it sounded fun, so we gave it a go. We started with store-bought lemonade (O Organics brand from Safeway), added a few whole strawberries, and gave it the brief spin in the blender (which made it frothy). Dropped in a few blueberries, garnished with a lemon slice, and voila! I got the Joy. Such a fun Mom thing to do :).

Family in Progress: Law and Order

http://family-in-progress.blogspot.com/2012/02/law-and-order.html

Thursday, February 9, 2012. Barely two months into parenting a five-year-old, I’ve learned an important lesson: Five-year-olds like order. Suddenly, my little girl is the sheriff in a town of hooligans. (The parts of the unruly townspeople are usually played by me, her father, and her sister. Especially her sister.). Every home needs a girls' bathroom pass:. So what happens when Daddy has to use the bathroom? Tell Bianca she needs to make a boys bathroom pass, too! February 12, 2012 at 4:58 PM. Rest Easy...

Family in Progress: Holiday hits and misses

http://family-in-progress.blogspot.com/2012/01/holiday-hits-and-misses.html

Monday, January 9, 2012. Holiday hits and misses. The holiday lights are packed away, the tree is long gone, and I’ ve. Caught my annual post-Christmas cold: It must be January! Been absent lately, because December completely knocked me on my duff. With Steve’s basketball coaching season in full swing, time to myself is pretty scarce these days (and I’ ve. Been busy with work… didja. Happen to catch me on TV. HIT: Princess Fishing Pole. Lucky for these two (" Starra. HIT: Play shopping cart. Santa brough...

Family in Progress: August 2011

http://family-in-progress.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Summer 2011: Looking Back. School’s starting, leaves are on the ground, and I detect a chill in the air. Yup, fall’s here. And we have a GREAT summer to look back on (I’m eating the last of this summer's blackberries, picked yesterday by Steve and B, as I type). Here are our stats for Summer 2011:. Tubes of sunscreen used: 6. Serious sunburns: 1 (Steve’s, obtained while boogie-boarding in Hawaii. For our next trip, we’re packing long-sleeve rash guards.). Links to this post.
