Raising Ollie
http://raisingollie.blogspot.com/2012/01/our-fall-2011-i-realize-its-been-awhile.html
My son's life with a single mama. Sunday, January 8, 2012. I realize it's been awhile since I've blogged. It's been a quick fall. The biggest change in our lives is that Ollie started preschool and he rides a 'big yellow bus' every day. The first couple of weeks were rough (for both of us) and many tears were shed on that bus! Now he loves the bus and looks forward to his bus ride each morning. Here is a cute story. After a few seconds he came back with, "Mommy, are we. Posted by Megan Moran. Our Fall 20...

Raising Ollie: Turkey in the Straw
http://raisingollie.blogspot.com/2011/06/turkey-in-straw.html
My son's life with a single mama. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Turkey in the Straw. When we were driving home the other day we were listening to some kids music- and this was the conversation. First up- Turkey in the Straw. Ollie: Mom, how did the turkey get into. Me: Well Ollie it's not a drinking straw it's a different kind of straw. Ollie: But mom, how did he get in. Isn't he too big? Me: Ollie it's a type of grain they feed animals. Me: I'll show you a picture when we get home. Ollie: Mom what is. View my...

Raising Ollie: Need a Little Christmas (music to be PUT AWAY)
http://raisingollie.blogspot.com/2011/03/need-little-christmas-music-to-be-put.html
My son's life with a single mama. Monday, March 14, 2011. Need a Little Christmas (music to be PUT AWAY). I'm celebrating that I was finally able to put Christmas music away! For the past hmmm. One more time I may pull my hair out. I downloaded some fun peppy Glee songs and convinced Ollie that these are the SAME people from his Christmas music! So now I get to listen to 'Sweet Caroline', 'Don't Stop Believing', 'Singing in the Rain', etc. The drive to and from school has become a little more fun. Chicke...

Reflections on Schmoker’s Focus with the Traveling Teacher – Diane Lauer
https://dianelauer.com/2012/02/19/reflections-on-schmokers-focus-with-the-traveling-teacher
Writings, resources, ramblings, and resume. Reflections on Schmoker’s Focus with the Traveling Teacher. February 19, 2012. Focus by Mike Schmoker (ASCD). Mike Schmoker’s new book Focus. Came in the mail on a beautiful Saturday morning. It started off as nice lazy day with no pressing deeds needing to be done, so I started to skim through the pages of the new book and was hooked immediately. And science teacher colleague of mine Liz Swanson to tell me her thoughts. First, I wanted to know about his thinki...

Raising Ollie: February 2011
http://raisingollie.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
My son's life with a single mama. Saturday, February 26, 2011. My little buddy burner. Since Ollie was 6 weeks old he has slept through the night. I believe the fact he is an excellent sleeper was God's gift to me because he is such an active toddler. I can probably count on my hand the times he's been up in the middle of the night. However the past few weeks he has been sneaking into my room and climbing in bed with me around 3am. 1 I am half asleep when he comes in. Besides how can I say no to this?
