My All-Time Favorite Learning Programs

No Comments
| At Home Activities, Motherhood

I will never be a room parent, a Girl Scout leader, or anything resembling something crafty. I’m too impatient to be a teacher and too uninterested and/or untalented to make up my own lesson plans or learning programs. Needless to say, distance learning was hard for me. Hard. Even before the pandemic, I was struggling. […]

It’s been ninety-four days. Ninety-four days that I’ve worked a full-time job and kept my 6-year-old busy once her school closed to on-campus learning. I decided to write this post because I know this is a very common struggle. Eighty of those days were filled with her school’s distance learning program. If you are a […]

Reading Eggs: The program that taught my kid to read, and saved our mother-daughter relationship in the process

Extensive travel itineraries based on a year’s worth of research and planning? Fun! Travel booked with credit card rewards? Easy (or at least I’m getting the hang of it). New places and activities to experience with my family? Pretty much my entire parenting belief system. But the year (or at least 5 months so far) […]

Raddish Kids: Mise en Place

Challenge Accepted I bought an annual subscription to Raddish Kids at the end of 2018. I loved the idea behind their monthly boxes. Think of it as a cooking class in a box. We tried out some of the recipes when we first got the subscription and had loved the dishes we made. Unfortunately, after […]

On our commute from #Tokyo to #Kyoto we stopped in #shinyokohama to visit the @ramenmuseum . While the exhibits were pretty cool, and we even walked away with some @ippudo boxes, what really made my family fall in love with this place was the @aodakeuchi make your own ramen classes. And Emma, whom ate her way through Japan one noodle bowl at a time, said this was by far the best bowl of the trip. 🍜

Thanks for the memories 2022! Bring it 2023 🎉🥳🍾
Here’s a secret I never told anyone before. Before we even left Hawaii, I was preparing myself to be disappointed during our visit to DisneySea. Heralded by many Disney fanatics as the best of the Disney parks based on its thematic set-up, I just kept thinking 2 things: 1) my kids aren’t going to be that interested in the architecture of a theme park (and I doubted I would be either) and 2) it was a park geared to older kids than mine. But how wrong I was! I loved loved loved DisneySea. To steal a line from Disney themselves, it was a whole new world.
And that’s a wrap! After months of practices, 5 days of performance hair and make up (which if you have been following my stories you know how much that stresses me out 🤣), a dress rehearsal, special Thursday performance and 3 sold out shows, @ballethawaii ‘s 2022 Nutcracker season came to a close this past Sunday afternoon. I am so impressed with all the dancers, as well as the employees and volunteers of Ballet Hawaii that made it all possible. I’ve seen this particular show several times from the audience but got a much deeper appreciation for it this year after catching the tiniest glimpse of all that it entails. A hui hou Mr. Nutcracker!
