It's a rough road out here shopping for clothing for a little boys that doesn't have...
A construction truck being driven by a minion
A Super Mario character eating pizza
A teenage mutant Ninja turtle riding a shark
And to be clear, my complaint is not with this particular shirt. Honestly, it's pretty cute and I know my kids would love it. I'm not opposed to buying fun shirts. My main complaint is that I went to FOUR stores yesterday. Looking for spring clothes for my two boys and my options were only the following:
- dinosaurs
Construction
Pizza
Video games
Space
Dinosaurs
Truck/race cars
And 1990 style stripes
And that's it. Your only options. Just a very small sampling of interests. Repeated over and over and over . In every single store. In a boys section that is most likely much smaller than the girls section.

Nights are roughhhhh around here lately. What do you mean my little buddy has a hard time going up the stairs now? Wasn’t it just yesterday that he was a puppy?
hopefully, we still have a couple years left with him. He’s 12 now and he still does go up and down the stairs relatively willingly, but he really thinks about it first. We’re already preparing for the day that we have to move our bedroom downstairs so he doesn’t have to sleep alone.

The mistake a lot of parents and teachers make when addressing AI with their kids and students is leading with a moral argument. They say plagiarism is bad and lying is bad. That is not the point.
The reason we do not use AI when we are learning is because we have to protect our brains at all costs. Your brain is your most valuable asset as an adult. It is how you land better opportunities, how you build real friendships and communities, how you problem solve, and how you make smart decisions that keep you out of trouble.
Note: as teachers should do with every lesson, pelase adapt the lesson to suit the IEP and 504 needs of your students. Please keep that in mind.
Yes, you can buy most of these things with gobs of money. But most of us do not have gobs of money.
AI is a tool that can be used, but it has to be used in the right way. As adults we use Google as a tool all the time, and even kids use it to check what movies are out or to answer a curiosity. That is very different than using Google to complete the assignments that are supposed to grow our brain. It is the same with AI.
I think it is important to acknowledge in front of the class that it is not fair for me to tell them that effort alone is going to win them the world. Life is not fair. Some kids face learning difficulties or a hard home life. That is when I will make a commitment to support them to the best of my abilities. I am ready to come alongside them with one hundred percent of my effort to help them learn how they learn and to support them while at school. In return, I need them to tell me when they need help and to give me their best effort too.
And even with this speech to my kids or to my students, I would not just step back and expect them to make all the right decisions. They are still functioning with kid brains, and they will probably be tempted to use AI because they cannot fully understand the long-term ramifications yet. That is why it is my job as the adult to put very clear boundaries in place, and to set up systems where they cannot access it during learning times so they are forced to use their own brain.

I will NOT be the one to activate the hand dryer in the same room as a small child.
I'm happy to drip dry 🫡.
I've been there. I NEVER expected anybody else to not use the hand dryer for us, but I always appreciated it when it happened.

You can find us eating completely alone in every restaurant 1 minute after opening.
(Context: Typical Italian dinner time is 8pm-9:30pm- depending on the area of course)
Eating dinner in Italy with little kids plan:
Step 1: Google locate the very few restaurants that open before 8:00 p.m.
Step 2: Fill the children with snacks to hold them over
Step 3: Show up to the restaurant right at opening
Step 4: End up eating dinner in a completely empty restaurant
Step 5: Eventually adjust the kids' eating times by the end of the week, celebrate 🎉, and have to fly back home.
Our pre-kids Italy trip, we could roll with the late (by American standards) kitchen opening times but...kids. We adjusted by the end of the week and finally had dinner at the same time as the locals and felt so proud!

When we stay in a hotel with little kids, we try to be as courteous and kind to our neighbors as possible.
But little kids aren't going to change their developmental needs just because we're in a hotel. Kids need to move. Have you ever seen a toddler walk? They don't walk, they hop. They roll. They skip and scoot. Their brains need this kind of movement, and their brain is telling them they must move this way. Their developmental needs don't care if they're in a hotel.
So for this reason, we always ask if there's a room available on the second floor. A second floor room is much more likely to be above the pool, the lobby, a restaurant, or a common space and not above somebody trying to get a midday nap in their room.
We even go the extra mile to walk the bottom floor to confirm that we are indeed not over a first floor room. It helps to put this request in at time of booking, call ahead, or inform the front desk WHY you want a room on the second floor so they're more likely to be able to meet your request. The hotel workers always seem to appreciate that we are being thoughtful towards the other guests with our request.
It doesn't always work out this way, and if we end up on another floor we do our best to get their wiggles out outside before we get to the room. Hotels are built to withstand noise, so you don't have to worry too much about it, but we do like to be as courteous as possible. Booking a room on the second floor gives us some peace of mind and helps us feel better about saying yes to meeting our kids' developmental need to move.
We don't let them scream or cause havoc but hopping like a rabbit over the breakfast station? Go for it.
Other things we do: when our kids wake up at 6:00 a.m., we get them out of the hotel room. Because we all know little kids aren't exactly quiet and they don't care what time of day it is.
We go hang in the lobby or go for a drive. Or if we have to stay in the room, we put on a movie or let them play on their tablets or read books to them to keep them quiet for the other guests.

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of that perfect drink condensation that can only be as achieved by very large frozen cubes.
Also are Europeans dehydrated or are Americans overly hydrated?
* Yes,I know Europe is not a country. I'm am using continent vs a single country here because every country I have been to in Europe is aligned against the pursuit of frozen beverages 😅

Me learning to swim: “What? Like it’s hard?”
Turns out that my body composition is just its own flotation device. 🍑 I legitimately thought that everybody else could just… float like me.
Last summer, I was on the lake for boat day with friends, and I was just bobbing in the water like a buoy, and my friend’s husband said, “What are you sitting on?”
I said, “What do you mean?”
He said, “Do you have one of those flotation diaper things? Because you’re not holding anything, but you’re not treading water.”
I said, “I’m not sitting on anything. This is just me.”
He said, “But you’re not moving your arms or your legs to tread water.”
I said, “I know. I don’t have to tread water. I just float. I don’t know what to tell you.”
Two bonuses of this body of mine, I’m harder to kidnap, and I could Bob my way all the way to coastal Ireland.

I wish I could say I DIDN'T expect to be brought to tears by the unboxing of tiny Christmas houses, but I knew it would make me emotional 😅. It's only a total realization of my most ardent childhood DREAM.
And another little cute tidbit is that my husband came home and saw that I unboxed the Christmas houses and he immediately said,
"Did you like the greenhouse?! I picked that set because I knew you would love the greenhouse"
😭
This man is a walking green flag.
* Also not to confuse anybody, it was a mystery box to me... Not to Sam haha

And the knowing
that even though
there will be a last
time we can hold
them like this. A last

everything for them.
Forever, when they

Do kids still learn cursive in school?
We also may have told him that if he ever wants to be an explorer/ archaeologist like Indiana Jones he has to know how to read cursive... Both things I feel are at least 80% true.

I have so many questions.
A year later, we look back upon this experience as the highlight of our trip to Germany. It was whimsical in the best way.
And it was a last-minute decision because we saw the information for the park pop up on Google maps and had some time to kill. We had no idea what to expect and this was SO MUCH BETTER than our wildest expectations.
Caption from the last time I posted this video with more details:
Accidentally had an entire theme park all for ourselves.
The foggy, mossy, deep in the Forrest Grimm's fairytale vibes paired with the complete absence of other humans was SO COOL.
I'm not surprised the park was empty. It was rainy, cold and miserable and 10am on a Friday morning. And it was the end of the season. We are lucky we found the park when we did because this weekend was the final of the season.
The workers spoiled us as the only patrons.😅 They were very kind. We had so much fun and I wish the US would do these self-serve (put a coin in without a worker) theme parks.
Perks of traveling off season.

Here's how the squishy glove method works ⬇️
(I'm sure there's a more technical name for this method, but I call it squishy gloves because... The gloves are squishy..)
Comment👉 HANDS
And I'll send you a link to the gloves I use, and the two lotions
1. Buy some gloves
- I cut the tips of the fingers off because it is a sensory nightmare for me to sleep in full gloves.
2. On the first night, if your hands are really really cracked, smother them in aquaphor. The aquaphor is less likely to burn in the cracks. Cover your hands with the gloves and sleep that way.
3. The next night, SLATHER your hands with either @tubbytodd all over ointment or @okeeffescompany working hands. Sometimes I just suck it up and go straight to step 3 even if my hands are cracked because I know by morning this cream will have repaired them significantly.
4. You can even put more @aquaphor on top of that
5. Put the gloves over it and sleep that way.
6. Repeat as needed.
I don't sleep in the gloves every single night, but I do probably once every 2 weeks. Once you've gotten under control, you can just put the hand cream on your hands throughout the day as maintenance.
It's been really helpful for my kids as well. I just use the adult gloves and cut the fingers a little lower.
It took me years of pain to finally figure out this method (thank you, Reddit!)

We forget that we can teach the art of conversation. It’s a skill, and like any skill, it can be practiced. Knowing how to hold a real conversation helps kids make friends, build confidence, and connect with others.
It’s how we help ourselves be seen and get our needs met. And as adults, it’s a skill that can open doors, create opportunities, and even land jobs.
We teach our kids how to hold a good conversation with the “Info Dump” game.
(I recognize the irony of the name! I mostly called it this because it's a really kid-friendly name and they get the visual of dumping out the information, but I also wanted to kind of realign The meaning )
How we play:
• Choose a letter at random
• Pick a subject that starts with that letter
• Go around the table taking turns “dumping” one nugget of information we know about that subject
Subjects can be serious or silly. For example: Grandma, Taylor Swift, The Oregon Trail, rivers, sharks, and cotton candy. We often pick topics tied to shared family moments so that the information we share is also memories.
A lot of the time we play to their strengths and pick a subject they already know a lot about, especially when we’re just starting the game. But we also choose topics they don’t know much about, because it gives them a chance to listen, learn, and practice asking good questions.
Conversationalists are nimble. They can come up with something to say, even about random topics, and they learn how to prioritize and share the right information at the right time.
They also know when to stop talking. They share the floor, take turns, and listen actively. And if someone doesn’t have a fact to share, we teach them to stay engaged by asking thoughtful questions to keep the conversation going.
The next step in this game, which isn’t shown in the video, is adding on to each other’s facts by asking follow-up questions or adding more details. This takes the conversation deeper and turns it into a real back-and-forth. Asking good questions is the most important part of a conversation, that's why I have other games that tackle that skill too!

Why are our kids always out here trying to get us put on some sort of list?
Doesn't matter if it's our own driveway or a public parking lot, he will be waiting crisscross applesauce in the trunk with the most triumphant smile on his face.

Recipe⬇️
-ripe beef steak tomato sliced 1 inch
- Salt the tomatoes on both sides and then let it sit for 10 minutes.
-Top the tomato slices with a tablespoon of stracciatella, also known as the soft cheese inside of a burrata ball. You can find a burrata or the stracciatella at some grocery stores and also at Aldi and Trader Joe's.
-Top that with balsamic reduction (they use balsamic pearls at the restaurant, but they are expensive, so I just do balsamic reduction).
-Top that with a little more flaky salt and some fresh basil if you have it and enjoy.
My guests will be enjoying this appetizer all summer long because I will be enjoying it all summer long!

How are you teaching your kids to be a good friend?
Originally Posted this one year ago and playing this game with my sons has helped so much!
You don’t have to lie or pretend to like something you don’t, but it’s also not necessary to loudly declare our dislike for someone else’s favorite things, especially when we’re trying to build friendships.
My son is six, and I wish we’d started practicing this earlier, around the time his logic skills began developing at age four. Social and conversational skills (the kind we need to make friends and build relationships) aren’t always innate. They can be taught, practiced, and refined.
One important lesson I want to instill with my kids: If you want to have quality friendships, you need to *be* a quality friend. Part of that means supporting your friends’ interests, even if they’re not your personal favorites.
If I had daughters, I’d practice this with them, too. But as a mom to sons, I’m especially mindful of this, since research shows that men often struggle more with making and maintaining friendships. I see how nourishing my female friendships are, and I’m grateful for the skills I’ve learned to build and sustain those relationships. I want my sons to develop similar skills so they can experience the same kind of connection.
Right now, we’re working on shifting their knee-jerk responses. When they hear about something they’re not into, their instinct is often to say, “Well, I don’t like that.” For little kids, this seems like an honest and reasonable response, not a rude one. But instead, we’re encouraging them to pause, ask thoughtful questions, and connect what they’re hearing to what they already know. It’s about showing interest in others, even when their interests don’t match ours.
What about you? How are you teaching your kids to be good friends?
