For a long time, when I was a kid, I wanted to be some sort of an artist. Maybe an animator or just a famous painter. I drew a lot. My mom kept an uncomfortable number of drawings I made when I was 3. I kept doodling up until I was an adult, encouraged by…

Resolutions I Can Live With (+ Maybe Keep)

January 27, 2016 By Food Retro

I’m not generally a fan of New Year’s resolutions, at least not for myself. It’s not that I’m against them in theory – self-improvement is awesome – but in practice they tend to end up at the bottom of my priority list.  This year, the resolutions I’ve made are more for kidlet than me, but…

It’s a good week to watch movies. The last couple of days have been a prime example of lousy fall weather. It’s been cool, and rain fell non-stop yesterday.

Heads up! There’s another post with the new shows from 2016 over here! I’m a huge fan of French Immersion. In just one school year, my son picked up a tremendous amount of spoken and written French, and my husband and I don’t speak any French at home. Little kids take to new languages like…
