Two weeks ago was Sydney’s first soccer practice ever. She’s joined a recreational soccer league for 3 to 5-year-olds. There was a long e-mail from the organizers about what to bring to the first practice. I could have written the same email in 1 sentence: Please come at 9 am wearing shin guards and regular [Read More]

There was a soulful R & B song playing on the speakers. I started groovin’. (Yes, that’s how I roll.) Sydney started groovin’, too. “Do you [Read More]

Dancing with the Stars
I enjoy watching ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” with Sydney, age 5. Call me girly, but my daughter and I bond over the sequins and frilly dresses. On Monday’s show, several of the women were wearing skimpy costumes, including dancer Peta Murgatroyd. I decided to use the skimpy costume as a teaching moment. “That dress [Read More]
