    Reading While Driving

    I don't know if this would be considered a "hands-free" device or not, but whenever I'm driving here in Irvine, I see lots of (Muslim) women talking into their cell phone that is awkwardly tucked into their head scarf so that it is held up to their ear while driving. Men do silly things...

    Reading While Driving

    I've fed a baby a bottle in the backseat while driving. It really hurts. I only did that because I couldn't (and wouldn't) breastfeed while driving.

    Average age for boys to start 1st grade

    Any doubts I had at the beginning of this thread / end of last school year about starting my son in Kindergarten at 5 and 1st grade at 6 were totally removed today. I just got back from the Fall Parent / Teacher conference. (He is 5 months shy of the cut-off date in this district.) He's already...

    A little math lesson, courtesy of a 5 year old

    IHO: Has your daughter tried the School Zone workbooks? I buy these for my son just for fun so he can do them during school breaks, weekends, etc. (They make good activities for long car rides too!) They actually sell them at most pharmacies so when he's done with one I usually pick up a new one...

    MalibuRenter's summer in Dallas

    :-S It is painful looking at those beautiful homes. I'm finding the idea of committing my life to an ugly Irvine stucco box more & more difficult to accept. The Dallas area definitely has some beautiful homes, even homes that may not be considered a historic area - like Plano? - has some...

    the Celebrity won an undeserved award

    I got my eye on you boys. I don't want to read "he started it". Everybody is responsible for their own person. <img src="http://www.marcscottonline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/wooden-heart-spoon1-300x300.jpg" alt="" /> <em>It may leave a mark, but at least you'll know I still love you.</em>?

    A little math lesson, courtesy of a 5 year old

    Mildly off topic: Yesterday, I drove the boys around to look at some potential homes. My big boy (6) asks me why we are looking here. Me: "Because mommy and daddy think it's a nice area and would be a good place for you to grow up in." Him: "Uhhh... yeah. I'm already six. It's too late." <img...

    Since they're drying the skins, I sort of feel like it's raisin flour. :)
