Recently, my daughter’s class had her publishing party. I must admit, I was dreading it and not because I did not want to hear my child read her story about seals, it’s because last year, the class was split into two sections and we had to listen to 10 kids over an hour period. It […]

Wordless Wednesday – Karate Promotion to Advanced Blue Belt
Before the promotion program. Just a blue belt. The exercise part of the program, I love it, they make the kids all do pushups, jumping jacks and sit ups. What is this the army?
