Emma is brilliant. No, that’s not just me being a proud mama, she is truly brilliant. Her kindergarten teacher told me so! They’ve changed grading systems this year and while she can’t test for advanced placement in kindergarten she says Emma is more than advanced. She seemed surprised that I didn’t know. I’ve always known [...]

Since I have a young child I’m fairly well versed in all the shows on PBS. We don’t have cable or satellite because #1 I’m cheap and don’t see the value and #2 we are trying to save money and pay off debt so we can breed. I let Emma watch no more than an [...]
