Three Girls Move West: May 2010
http://threegirlsmovewest.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Three Girls Move West. Thursday, May 27, 2010. Summer and A Lesson from Evie's Teacher. Today was the last day of school for the girls this year. It's summer! I now have a first and fourth. Grader. I think that makes me about 300 years old. As she walked in the door. A lot of the joy they both found at school this year can be attributed to their wonderful teachers. Evie's teacher wrote a letter to the class that she read out loud today. I just thought it was beautiful - and a lesson for all of us....

Three Girls Move West: November 2010
http://threegirlsmovewest.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Three Girls Move West. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. For the past few weeks, I have been helping teach Evie's math league. It's not a natural fit for me. I either lack a natural propensity for math or else lack enough of an interest to be competent in it. My daughter, however, fills notebooks with calculations in her free time and I want to support this interest. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 2 cups whole wheat flour. 2 teaspoons baking powder. 1 teaspoon baking soda. 2 cups white sugar. 3 cups grated apples.

Three Girls Move West. Saturday, April 24, 2010. The radiant dandelion, shining in the grass, like a spark dropped from the sun. In most of the country, spring is here. In Colorado, we've had hail and snow this week, but I'm guessing spring has to be coming soon, even though the weather reports keep describing the " winter. This is why I loved Robert Wright's article. On lawn care this week. ( Click here to read The Dandelion King. I like the idea of a natural lawn movement. (Long live dandelions! Now Lu...

Three Girls Move West. Saturday, January 1, 2011. How to Teach Your Three-Year-Old to Ski. 300 chocolate chips and gummy bears. 8221; She’ll look at you like you’re crazy, with her skis in perfect parallel lines, before crash-stopping into you and telling you she wants to get some lunch. And pizza will sound kind of good to you too. 8221; Of course, it’s not a perfect system. On the last run of the day yesterday, I told Noni to “make a pizza” and she asked, “Why? Teach three-year-old to ski. Simple templ...

Three Girls Move West: New Year, Less Stuff
http://threegirlsmovewest.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-year-less-stuff.html
Three Girls Move West. Saturday, January 15, 2011. New Year, Less Stuff. By stuff, I mean junk, crap, clutter, what I see when I walk into the girls' room and look at the floor and what is surrounding my computer on my desk right now. In Kingston's book Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui. I have to say, as far as resolutions go, I am off to a good start this year. Last week, I took three garbage bags full of clothing to Goodwill and I already have two more in the car. Today we sold a television an...The o...

Three Girls Move West: Stickers
http://threegirlsmovewest.blogspot.com/2010/12/stickers.html
Three Girls Move West. Saturday, December 11, 2010. In the winter months, when it's too cold for the park or the soccer field, it's always nice to find a non-messy craft that will occupy the girls. The fort that they recently made out of blankets, string, stuffed animals, pipe cleaners and paper boxes does not fall into this category. Melissa and Doug Sticker collection sheets do.

Three Girls Move West: August 2010
http://threegirlsmovewest.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Three Girls Move West. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Discovering the Already Discovered. One of Evie and Lucy's favorite games is a game we call guess-that-animal. One of us thinks of an animal and then can only answer yes or no to questions about the animal. The girls have gotten fairly efficient at guessing- Is it bigger than a cat? Does it live in the ocean? Does it have fur? And better at thinking of more exotic animals, although Evie, who carries around her Guide to Colorado Birds. Me: Okay, a monkey?

Three Girls Move West: Stuff
http://threegirlsmovewest.blogspot.com/2008/05/stuff.html
Three Girls Move West. Thursday, May 15, 2008. 8220;All I really need is a song in my heart, food in my belly and love in my family.” - Raffi. Why do we have stuff? I think part of the reason we have so much stuff is that I’m always asking myself, “what if? 8221; When we started pulling items for the yard sale, Toby attacked each room with a complete lack of sentiment and I deliberated each item. What if I suddenly need to use this thing that I haven’t used since I can remember, if ever? I know, right?
