Tuesday, November 29, 2011. I had another first yesterday! My first participation in a hearing being disrupted by a protest! Click on the blue links for Videos). Shortly after that, from the back of the room, came a crowd of people, chanting, and yelling. One demonstrator who was leading the way, was shouting "Mic Check", to which the crowd repeated everything he said. Tax the Rich and Save the Poor! I can't wait to see what the rest of this session holds! Posted by McCleary Mama. Sunday morning cup of c...

McCleary Mama: Look at me GROW!
http://mcclearymama.blogspot.com/2011/10/look-at-me-grow.html
Thursday, October 13, 2011. Look at me GROW! Today, I took lots of deep breaths. You know, the heavy sighing kind of breath, when something so amazing happens to you that you can't believe it's real? JUST A PARENT" is no longer part of my vocabulary, and when I hear other parents say it now, there's like a spring loaded trigger in my head that snaps and goes in to advocate role. I instantly want to have a conversation with the person saying that they are "just a parent! I am so proud. Proud of you April!

McCleary Mama: Devastating Cuts on the Horizon for Our Littlest Learners
http://mcclearymama.blogspot.com/2012/09/devastating-cuts-on-horizon-for-our.html
Thursday, September 20, 2012. Devastating Cuts on the Horizon for Our Littlest Learners. Like most parents, for me, September signals the end of the summer and getting back into the. Swing of things. And while we’re checking homework, packing school lunches. School open houses, Members of Congress are getting back to work too, talking to constituents. And other Congressmen and women to figure out priorities. In Washington State, an all-cuts approach would mean programs like Working Connections. Child and...

Saturday, March 26, 2011. Have A Heart For Monkeys! Those are my 3 girls! Proud to have been a part of a another great event at the capital. We spent our Saturday morning, dancing inside the dome to the music of the band Recess Monkey. Recess Monkey is a children's music band that is comprised of 3 elementary teachers who rock! Recess Monkey was brought to the capital today by Mom'sRising. I was completely flabbergasted. That's my 9 year old! Going on a rollercoaster ride in song with the Recess Monkeys!

McCleary Mama: Hands On Advocacy
http://mcclearymama.blogspot.com/2012/02/hands-on-advocacy.html
Thursday, February 23, 2012. As one of the 3 hats I wear for a job, being a Coordinator for Parents United is one of them. I'm very lucky, that all 3 of my jobs mesh so well together. I work with Parents and get them to stand up for things they believe in around Early Learning especially, but other issues as well. Advocacy is what I do! My best friend and partner in crime, Kylee Allen, is a Coordinator with me of Parents United. We have a lot of fun. And we were really wet! HANDS ON ADVOCACY TRAINING.

Sunday, November 13, 2011. Throwing out the Safety Net. Sunday morning cup of coffee, check. Laughter of children, check. Thankful for positive things in my life, check. Safety net, ummmm working on that. The day I got the job I was talking to one of my favorite people Lori. I was elated that I was being given this opportunity but I was scared. I immediately went in to fight or flight mode, "oh no, I'm going to finally lose my childcare, I'm going to lose my food stamps, this is a big step Lori! Guest Bl...
