Thematic Thursdays: Info-Graphics R’ Us
So, as a writer for Komplicated.com, I often run across info-graphics, but never info-graphics regarding kids. Until yesterday. I was just reading links in my Google Reader and ran across this, which I thought was hilarious.
I thought to myself, there have to be more of these out there. You’re welcome.
I also created one of my own.
Workin’ Wednesdays: Command Center
I’m designing a website right now for Renaissance Mujer, so there’s not much to show just yet. I’m also reorganizing my office space to incorporate my new crafting addictions (Yes, there are multiple ones). I must sign up for a sewing class, though. Seriously.
Lately, I feel like my main job is chauffeur. I can end up with a Santa Monica to Studio City route without even blinking some days. Mooch just booked a Toyota commercial, and that shoots Thursday, so we’ll see where that takes me. Oh, and I’ll have to put on my “Stage Mom” hat that day (read: sit in the trailer with a nice good book).
At home, I’m working on my Command Center. Mooch and I came up with morning and afternoon schedules for everyone in the house. Now I’m working on kitchen inventory, mailboxes for each family member and other sections. Once we’ve compiled and designed everything, it will go on the kitchen wall. Here are some of my inspiration photos:
Tuesdays With Mooch & Fuss: Attitudes and Tantrums
It’s tantrum central here in the Tabu household, where almost every question results in a power struggle with our youngest member. Fuss is giving us all of the parts of two-years-old that we never got to experience with Mooch. Somedays we embrace it, and use all of our wonderful psychological tools. Other days, I collapse into Hannibal’s arms in a heap of sobs and worry. Who is this strong-willed child, and what is her spirit here to do? We have to hurry up and get her an esetaye, so we can learn more about her destiny, taboos, and needs.
She is definitely no slacker in the learning department. As I follow her on her educational journey, she leads me to places I’d never expect to be so soon. This past week, she learned how to use scissors. This has been her favorite addition to the shelves. She keeps requesting the pouring activity, but I haven’t put it back yet, because she has the opportunity to do that in real life when she pours herself some water. Fuss has also finished the sandpaper letters and small objects, so she officially knows all of the sounds that each letter makes. She asked for the first BOB book about a week ago, but she doesn’t sound the words out herself. She just likes for me to read “Mat” book to her.
Mooch is the callback/avail queen. She’s been on a couple of auditions since the top of the new year, so we’ll see if anything pans out. Her attitude of gratitude is showing small signs of improvement, but I think on Black Love Day (Feb. 13th), I’ll implement a gratitude journal for her. That way she’ll be able to physically see the things she has to be grateful for in each day. I did it on Twitter myself a while back, and it worked wonders for me.
I met with Mooch’s teachers last week, and academically she’s solid. They are working on her happiness as well, and I feel like we have a united front. At home, I’m supplementing her math curriculum with basic facts, so she can recall them much quicker. She’s still reading up a storm, and that remains her favorite pastime. She has, however, taken a liking to Mozart on KCET’s Wonderkid Little Amadeus show. She watches that about twice per week. I don’t see the appeal, but she asked for violin lessons the other day, so that’s good.
