We arrived home from our week of fun in the sun to find THE LETTER sitting in our mailbox.


04/07/08--22:44: Gifted (chan 2088925)

I got my weekly bulletin from Parent Center today. It's one of many email newsletters that I subscribed to in a moment of weakness, which now clutter up my inbox and give me things to delete. Because, as you might expect, I never actually read them.

Every day I thank my stars that CJ is potty-trained.


04/09/08--21:28: Healthy (and easy!) apple pancakes (chan 2088925)

I have been desperately trying to add some HEALTHY into our breakfast routine. Trust me, it's not easy with my four-year old who likes PANCAKES or CEREAL (only not the healthy kind).

1) Phinney neighborhood garage sale (details) Because recycling and reusing is the original green way of life.


04/21/08--21:36: Great online resources for getting green (chan 2088925)

There's so much to know and so little time! This seems to be a theme in my life.


04/29/08--10:02: Opting In vs. Opting Out of the workforce; what about the dads? (chan 2088925)

I am sitting in the audience listening to a panel called Opting In/Opting Out in which a group of intelligent, likable women talk about their decisions to work or not work, or some variation of the two. The panel is part of Parent Map's Pathways series and is moderated by Mona Locke.


05/01/08--22:03: Indoor play place opens on Greenwood with free admission this Saturday (chan 2088925)

I don't know about you, but this winter has seemed the longest, rainiest, and WORST ever. Each and every weekend I bemoan the fact that there are not enough indoor places to play.


05/13/08--22:32: Win a free family vacation (chan 2088925)

Seattle Mom blogs is hosting a giveaway of a free night and swim package at the newly opened Great Wolf Lodge (giveaway ends tomorrow, 5/15!).

I've noticed that some of the best conversations that CJ and I have take place in that in-between time when I'm shuttling CJ around in the car.


05/18/08--21:00: I did it, and so can you! How I transitioned from full-time work to stay at home mom (chan 2088925)

It happens all the time... I get together with friends over coffee or lunch and inevitably the topic turns to my new lifestyle.
