| Description: | I am Emily. After months of consideration during the 2008-2009 school year, my husband and I have decided to wait for kindergarten. Our child is a delightfully bright and articulate boy with a late summer birthday. He will be a preschooler again this year. He will be five years old. Our family lives a hop, a skip, and a jump outside of NYC. Life in this urban setting is fast-paced, no doubt about it. We have done an excellent job thus far keeping the pace. My husband and I are both involved in our work (he's in finance; I'm a teacher), at our church, in our home life, and with our extended families. We are always juggling to find the time to fit it all in. As I look at our decision to offer a growing year to our child before beginning the rigors of primary schooling, it seems like a provocation for our family as a whole. Couldn't we all slow down a little? Be a little more intentional about our minds, our health, our hearts? This is our story of a year spent slowing down. |

Transition: part three
This week that is full of preparation for the celebration of Thanksgiving seems a good time to tie up the loose ends the story of WJ’s transition into his new class. I confessed to you earlier how hard beginning of this change was for me and provided a peek at another surprise along the

Vermont
I have been trying to decide what to tell you about my trip to Vermont with the girlfriends last weekend. It was so tempting to take this awkwardly snapped backseat photo of our run-in with Officer Morrison, tales from the newly downloaded Truth or Dare iPhone app, and the fact that we had chosen a signature cocktail for this getaway to spin this story into a hyperbolic Moms Gone Wild tale of mischief.

Portuguese sweet bread
Don’t be fooled by the picture above. Peter Reinhart is kicking my butt. And I am morally opposed to using the word butt. That is, however, where I am finding myself on this one. Despite its appearance, my Portuguese sweet bread was not a huge success. Last Sunday morning I rose early and started the sponge while making some morning tea. As it bubbled away, I resumed our normal Sunday morning routines, getting us all ready for church. What could be better than this? I asked

Mummy and his Mommy

Stove-popped thyme popcorn*
You may have read about how standing at the dairy display, struggling over my weekly yogurt purchase, was giving me sweaty palms but the news today is that the time I am spending in the snack aisle lately is making me just plain old mad. A few weeks ago I made a decision. No more high fructose corn syrup in this house. No more. And then I decided that it would be nice to have a few child-friendly snacks ar
