It is true that I toured private schools and ultimately ended up crossing my fingers when my School Choice lotto results came in.  I was so ecstatic that we had been approved for Hunter’s Green Elementary… it is, in fact, a Blue Ribbon School in a nice area.  Everything was going to be perfect!
We start [...]

Last spring, I came across a pretty cool publication that included a lot of different project ideas for kids.  A subscription was only $10, so I went ahead and gave it a try.  And, I even went as far as recommending it to a few friends.
The first issue took a while to get here, and it was [...]

Well, let me tell you that life within the public education system is much different than expected.  And, my expectations weren’t really set that high to start with.  The whole experience so far has been somewhat surprising because I felt we were somehow going to be exempt from all of these problems going to a [...]

After Skye was born, I decided I wanted to give a professional photographer a try instead of going to JCPenney’s like I’ve done in the past.  I really don’t have any complaints about JCPenney’s, but I just thought a “professional” could produce something more creative and memorable.  I wanted some photos of both of them that I would be proud to [...]

So, when Aidan started attending Bright Horizons when he was two, the big deal for him each summer was seeing the “big kids” get on the buses to go on field trips.  So, I was so excited this year because he would finally be able to participate.
First of all, the summer program in general at [...]
