Fun with Flags

https://youtu.be/_e8PGPrPlwA On the days Bear is not in school, we do a lot of lesson plans. Okay, who am I B.S.ing? I try to sit him down long enough for a couple of minutes while I attempt to do lesson plans with him. There, that's more accurate. Recently, Bear was given an educational gift by the author of Hello Aaaron! Where Are You? Nellie Emrani. It's actually a pretty cool book that

School Pictures

It's occurred to me that I'll never really posted Bear's school pictures before. These came out pretty good! But honey, let me tell you...getting this kid to keep still and smile took a lot more effort than I expected it to! People keep telling me and Maks to put Bear into modeling. We are contemplating it when he's older and he wants to do it (I honestly don't have time

Chalk and Crayons

Lately, I've been teaching Bear more of his numbers, shapes, and colors, in addition to what he learns at school. I'm proud to say now he can count up to 30 and he knows his American alphabet pretty well. While he's at school part-time, he's with me (us) full-time for the remaining days of the week. We don't want him to be overly dependent on his iPad and TV but

Why is Preparing for Preschool So Damn Expensive?

I think this is the part where having kids starts to get expensive. You see, it's not that expensive in the first couple of years of life, IMO. Diapers and clothing, you can find on sale. Same goes with toys and honestly, babies and toddlers don't need that much. Shoes, that's where they get you because kids are constantly growing and at a rapid rate. When they start school, however...that's when

Being a Miser Can Be a Good Thing Sometimes #preschool #lunch

It's funny when you get older, you become a bit more conservative with your funds. I remember the days when I was a college student and I felt I was ballin' with my $10. (Hell, I still feel that way now.) Yet nowadays, with a looming preschool bill coming up, I'm finding different ways to cut back on things I don't really need to do as often as before. Notice

If I Could Turn Back The Hands of Time

I apologize for the lack of posts. I haven't been on vacation, nor have I been unusually busy. I'll be honest - I've been lazy. Queen Lazy. Lazy rules everything around me, lazy. Mayor of Lazyville. But I'm back and with news...are you ready? Are you sure you're
