What I Did When I Wasn’t Here | Elaine's blog
https://elewinnek.wordpress.com/2014/07/30/what-i-did-when-i-wasnt-here
Professing, Mommying, and Living. What I Did When I Wasn’t Here. My book is “hot off the presses,” according to the terrific new Urban Historians blog. Chicago Magazine also interviewed me about “ How Chicago Invented the Suburbs. I blogged about page 99 of my book for “The Page 99 Test.”. And, since this week is the anniversary of Chicago’s Race Riots of 1919, I blogged about that. For Oxford University Press. Next post →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Scenes from the Summer | Elaine's blog
https://elewinnek.wordpress.com/2014/07/23/scenes-from-the-summer
Professing, Mommying, and Living. Scenes from the Summer. Friends threw me a fabulous book party. Then, for their annual backpacking trip, this year Ben and Sophie took along seven other dads and daughters. And they had a great time. Evs and I car-camped at the base and now he won’t stop asking for more camping. He has also requested that we change his name to Marshmallow Hotdog. Here he is “hiking” with me. After that, Ben won the California state mountainbiking crosscountry championship.

Soph’s Poetry | Elaine's blog
https://elewinnek.wordpress.com/2013/11/19/sophs-poetry
Professing, Mommying, and Living. Here is one of the worksheets I found at the bottom of her backpack today:. What is your favorite food? What does it look like? How does it taste? It tastes salty, noodley, and cheesey. It is hard to explain. When I eat mac-and-cheese it tastes soft. That description: I love it. I love the combination of senses and I love that it is wholly original. I could not have described mac-n-cheese better myself. My daughter, the artist. Next post →. November 19, 2013 at 11:04 pm.

Professoring | Elaine's blog
https://elewinnek.wordpress.com/2013/11/22/professoring
Professing, Mommying, and Living. Despite the tagline that I optimistically coined for this blog when I began it, I don’t actually write much about professoring here. Those conversations tend to happen elsewhere. H ere’s one of those places, the “On Teaching” blog of the American Studies Journal. Where I recently weighed in on the current debate whether to lecture or not to lecture with a third, less-binary option: lecture with engagement. Click on over if you’re interested. Next post →.

How free-range should I let my kids be? | Elaine's blog
https://elewinnek.wordpress.com/2014/05/29/how-free-range-should-i-let-my-kids-be
Professing, Mommying, and Living. How free-range should I let my kids be? We spent the weekend in Colorado, at a campsite beside a mountain-bike-race, where many dozen kids ran around in free-range style. His sister is also trying to teach him to cartwheel. 8220;No, they went to town,” Soph told me blithely. “But they left her with a walkie-talkie so she can call them if she needs them.”. Next post →.

Four front teeth | Elaine's blog
https://elewinnek.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/four-front-teeth
Professing, Mommying, and Living. When I came in from taking the recycling out, Everett told me: “Sophie uh-oh,” and led me to the bathroom, where I found her spitting blood into the sink. Evs and Sophie had been piling pillows into a fort in our living room. Soph had climbed on the fort’s roof. The pillow-roof fell in and, on her way down, she hit her open mouth hard on the solid wooden chest that we use as a coffee table. She was still bleeding when we left the dentists’ office, an hour later, af...

Professing, Mommying, and Living. Just in case you missed it on facebook. We got a new kitten. And Sophie got enough literacy to read some books. Here she is, teaching Lulu to hunt. Second kid, second birthday. Before we even got to the zoo, Everett was thrilled with the highway. “Momma, bus! 8221; he said, “Momma, trash truck! 8221; Two-year-olds are so superb at relishing the mundane details of life. And then there was the zoo. “Mum-tees! He liked the animals at the zoo, but, even more than that, he wa...

Professing, Mommying, and Living. The Sorry-I-Haven’t-Posted-in-a-While Post. I just clicked on over and saw that I haven’t blogged here since November. Yikes. Lately my family life hasn’t quite coalesced into blog-worthy stories in my mind. Maybe I am just out of the habit. Maybe I am becoming more private or at least more aware of the strangers who stumble on this blog, beyond just you friends and family whom I know. Next post →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

I’m on the radio | Elaine's blog
https://elewinnek.wordpress.com/2014/10/23/im-on-the-radio
Professing, Mommying, and Living. I’m on the radio. Here is a link to me on “Curious City” on WBEZ Chicago Public Radio. I am also on the Urban History Association Podcast. The single most fun piece of book publicity that I have done so far. I also published in the “Living Textbook” column of the Orange County Register. And got featured in the alumni Newsletter of Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. It turns out that book publicizing is surprisingly fun to do. Next post →. Enter your comment here.

Thriving | Elaine's blog
https://elewinnek.wordpress.com/2014/04/21/thriving
Professing, Mommying, and Living. I have fallen off the blogging bandwagon. Here’s a quick update: Evs is thriving in preschool. His favorite colors are orange, white, and Mommy. He wants to be a horseback rider, baby beluga, or applesauce. He’s a lot of fun. So here they are at their lemonade stand, with our enthusiastic friends:. And here’s Evs in our backyard, above the site where we will probably build the treeless platform-house. Next post →. One response to “ Thriving. April 21, 2014 at 11:56 am.
