Stolen Moments: January 2010

http://fedorchakblog.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Simple, straightforward thoughts on parenting, politics and cultural trends. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. A Day with a Four Year Old. During a recent day with my four year old, something prompted me to step back from my roles as mother and teacher and observe how he approaches life. The day started in a familiar way. He refused to wear the cute outfit I had selected and pulled on a grubby sports t-shirt and his favorite thread-bare sweatpants that are two inches too short. As we rolled through the aisles...

Stolen Moments: In admiration of little boys

http://fedorchakblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/in-admiration-of-little-boys.html

Simple, straightforward thoughts on parenting, politics and cultural trends. Tuesday, October 19, 2010. In admiration of little boys. My husband and daughter were gone last weekend, so my boys, five and seven, invited a buddy to sleep over. Oh for a hidden camera to preserve the spirit of these three boys who exist for one purpose: to squeeze the life out of every waking minute. 8221; What an irrelevant thing to ask a five-year-old after the biggest hit of his life. The promise of pizza and pop drove the...

Stolen Moments: August 2010

http://fedorchakblog.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Simple, straightforward thoughts on parenting, politics and cultural trends. Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Bidding Farewell to the Best Summer Ever. I’ve been cyber-stalking my 26-year-old niece all summer. She has a Facebook album titled, “The Best Summer Ever – 2010.” It’s loaded with pictures of her and other beautiful Denver singles camping, climbing mountains, attending outdoor festivals and generally celebrating the freedom of their age and singleness. Downstream Campground: This must be one of the nic...

Stolen Moments: December 2010

http://fedorchakblog.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Simple, straightforward thoughts on parenting, politics and cultural trends. Tuesday, December 28, 2010. Drilling into a New Year. I’ve never been a big fan of fitness classes. I can’t keep up with the moves, my 20-year-old t-shirts and shorts are out of place and the walls of mirrors leave no place for klutzes like me to hide. Exercising alone, in the comfort of my shabby and outdated workout attire, has always been much more appealing. During the next 45 minutes we ran lines and shuffled across the flo...

Stolen Moments: April 2010

http://fedorchakblog.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Simple, straightforward thoughts on parenting, politics and cultural trends. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Indecent Exposure: Can we spare our kids? The first time my kids saw “Dancing with the Stars” my son, age 5 at the time, said, “Mom, why is that lady dancing in her underwear? 8221; she asked with a hint of concern for the woman who was performing a lot of really high kicks. The producers of that show are masters of costume illusions. The audience is left to feel, at any given time, there is the re...

Stolen Moments: July 2010

http://fedorchakblog.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Simple, straightforward thoughts on parenting, politics and cultural trends. Tuesday, July 27, 2010. What habits are defining you? My mom and I took a week long road trip recently – just the two of us. Preparing for the trip, we set 4 pm as our targeted departure time. Three hours later, we finally hit the road. The difference is habits. Accomplished people are guided by great habits. I reflected sheepishly on our three-hour delay and my habit of tardiness. Experts say it takes 30 days to create a good h...

Stolen Moments: November 2010

http://fedorchakblog.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Simple, straightforward thoughts on parenting, politics and cultural trends. Thursday, November 25, 2010. A classic Thanksgiving battle: Woman versus turkey. A small container of lumpy potatoes is all that remains of Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. So, our home was all gourds and leaves for our Thanksgiving gathering that included 11 adults and 7 children—a manageable number yet big enough to feel like a party. I’ve tried many methods for cooking gobblers – the bag, the deep fryer, soaking...My Food N...

Stolen Moments: March 2010

http://fedorchakblog.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Simple, straightforward thoughts on parenting, politics and cultural trends. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. I’m fulfilling a job that I never applied for. I’ve been doing it for about 8 ½ years. I had no experience when I started, but no one interviewed me or checked my references. It was an easy job to land but it’s the toughest one I’ve ever had. I’m a parent, of course. And I know I’m not alone in feeling vastly under-qualified for the job. Parenting is a profession that’s easier to perform from the...
