It was another busy rainy day. First I sold raffle tickets early morning at my son's school, then worked until 8pm and finally went to my bookclub to see my girls. Waving at you N, K, C and K2! :) The last part brought the life back to me, but I'm ready to go to bed now.
As you can see, I'm putting my new boots to good use. I wanted to add pearls to the wrap dress, swap my cardigan to gold and tuck my jeans in the boots based on Angie's suggestion on YLF. This way I could show a quick day to evening transformation before I left work, but I was late and couldn't wait any longer to get out to see everyone. I got out with what I had on at work all day. Next time...
Our bookclub read "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. What an inspiring story for women of all ages!
Now that I talked with my "urban sisters" the whole evening and such an inspiring book about a group of women, I'll end today's short post with what I was reminded today over at the YLF forum by Vani.
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end. BUT.........
Sisters are there...
Have a wonderful Thursday!

| In the process of finding my son a preschool, I have read about many options on different teaching methods. Montessori was an early winner and I wasintrigued by the approach. After reading a number of Montessori books, I'm completely drawn into this style of teaching. Teach Me to Do It Myself by Maja Pitamic has been the best read out of all. If you have a preschooler, this is the book to own. It has so many good ideas on how to teach independence on life skills like eating, getting dressed, potty training.In addition, it has many other work and play activities that is sure to keep you and your little one busy. Hope you like it as much as I do and find the techniques successful. Below are some other Montessori books that I enjoyed reading. |
