Play School: June 2009
http://playschooling.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Adventures in Family Learning. Sunday, June 21, 2009. Shakespeare in the Park. My reading material lately has not exactly inspired calm or peace of mind. First, I was reading a book called Distracted,. Which posited that our reliance on electronic media was going to lead to another dark age. Then I read the new book about Columbine. And because I wasn't depressed and jittery enough after that, I picked the book Beautiful Boy. It's terrifying," I told my husband. Then why are you reading it? The whole hou...

Play School: January 2010
http://playschooling.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Adventures in Family Learning. Monday, January 25, 2010. We were going to try to meet some friends to go swimming this morning, but it's snowing hard, and Bridger and I are still recovering from colds, so we decided staying home was a better idea. I'm so glad we did. Inspired by the children's picture book Zooflakes ABC. That is so my learning pattern! I tried to get Bridger interested in cutting out some snowflakes, too, but he said, "I'd rather just watch you and then maybe I'll try some later." Fa...

Play School: Watering the Seeds of Joy
http://playschooling.blogspot.com/2010/04/watering-seeds-of-joy.html
Adventures in Family Learning. Sunday, April 4, 2010. Watering the Seeds of Joy. He said proudly (meaning the little wooden lattice-work shelter over the Buddha statue). The mindfulness practice for our whole Zen Center sangha this month is to water the seeds of joy through just this kind of practice. I'm looking forward to giving it a try. Thanks for this post, Carrie- it inspired me to watch the PBS special on The Buddha last night. Wonderful! Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 7:51:00 AM PDT.

Play School: November 2009
http://playschooling.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Adventures in Family Learning. Saturday, November 21, 2009. Mistakes, Part 2. If you talk with me for very long, I will probably find a way to work my neighborhood library, the Hamline Midway Branch in St. Paul, into the conversation. As my friend Danna once explained to another friend who didn't know the extent of my library love, "She's totally obsessed with the Hamline Midway Library." I think she meant that affectionately. But I didn't remember her story until after I'd done my talk. A few days ago B...

Play School: The Season of Flapping Trash Is Almost Upon Us
http://playschooling.blogspot.com/2010/02/season-of-flapping-trash-is-almost-upon.html
Adventures in Family Learning. Sunday, February 21, 2010. The Season of Flapping Trash Is Almost Upon Us. If you don't hear from me for a while, you'll know I've decided to take a little break for Lent. I'll be out watching the plastic bags snagged on bare tree branches, the puddles swimming with oily rainbows, the tree buds swelling near to bursting with the secrets they're about to whisper to the world. It looks like April or May here! Write me a letter, dang it:). Six Lifelong Learners in one family!

We spent every Presidents Day weekend at Lake Superior growing up! I am so happy for you that you are able to do that with your kids. Climbing on the rocks is definitely the best part. Beautiful pix!

Play School: December 2009
http://playschooling.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Adventures in Family Learning. Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Being Welcoming and Affirming is Always Age-Appropriate. Oh," said Bridger. Temporarily satisfied with that answer, he moved on to the business of scooping up some snow to eat. Do your kids understand about gays and lesbians? My friend asked me in an undertone. Will it confuse the kids? Here's what I believe, and what I told my friend today. Nothing especially explicit. Nothing inappropriate for the curious five-year-old her daughter was. There...

Adventures in Family Learning. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Top 3 Things I Loved About Today. And number 1: . I was lecturing Cass a bit about something this morning, I can't remember what. She started to put her hands over her ears, but then she looked up at me instead, dropped her hands, and said, "Mama, I don't like you talking, but I love. Ah, my fabulous little girl. Thank you for that. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. What, Me Worry? Worried you aren't doing enough? Trip Report, Part 1. I'd said in my last po...
