It’s hard to say when, exactly, we became members of the “sandwich generation.” If I had to guess I would say it started around the time that my husband flew to his mother’s home in order to drive her back to our home so that she could meet our twins. This was about six months…

He Can’t Include Me In His School Day
Our school is inclusive. Every child has a place in a mainstream classroom, with assistance if needed. J is one of those kiddos. He has an assigned a teacher, participates in nonacademic activities and projects, and has ‘specials’ like art, music and PE with his typical peers, all with the help of a one-on-one para….
Doing what we already know…
Last Friday I reached a limit of frustration trying to get my daughter out the door to school. Three days a week I juggle all three kids in the morning, to get everyone fed, dressed, packed and dropped off at their respective schools. On Friday Daddy had to leave early for a meeting in the…
Reflections In Spring…We’ve Come A Long Way

I think the teacher was a little surprised by such an advanced topic. How fun. Meanwhile in “Bible Buddies”, my older…
If We Build It…
Tying in with last week’s playground challenge, I thought I’d take a moment to tell you about a project I’ve been involved with since last September. This is a “to be continued…” post since the project is not complete yet, but I wanted to get started on the story. A friend of ours is an…
Chanukah Oh Chanukah
Tonight is the first night of Chanukah. My kids are eagerly awaiting sundown so we can sit around the table to light the candles and of course open presents. When I was a kid, I didn’t like sharing the fact that we were Jewish. In the small town where I grew up, we were one…
