Halloween

I asked my two year old what she wanted to be for Halloween. This is about how it went on the three different occasions I tried (characters varied each time):

"Do you want to be...Mickey Mouse?"
"NO WAYYYYY!" (with giant sweeping arm-motion similar to "all done" sign language)
"Do you want to be...Minnie Mouse?"
"NO WAYYYYY!" (again with the arm...)
"A monkey?"
"NO WAYYYYY!"
"A lion?"
"NO WAYYYYY!"
"Princess Sophia? A duck? A pumpkin? An m&m?"
"STOP IT MOMMY!"

Balancing Act

Balance. It's a place so many of us struggle to find. I recently returned to my full time teaching job after maternity leave. I got to stay home with my Sweet P until she was nearly 3 months old (I know I'm fortunate for that time and fortunate that I work in a wonderful school that understands the needs of new moms). As I try to settle into this role of full time teacher, mom of two, wife, and crazy lady who has a part-time sewing business, I sometimes leave myself feeling...anxious. And then I think about all the things I'm doing and why I'm doing them.
