Yes, I’m still reading it, but you know, I’m not the only one. So, tonight, we all got together at a local pub (Lucky Lab Tap Room), to discuss it. The Wonders of Wang. You know, our boys. Moms learning how to cope with raising boys.

Great to meet many of the neat moms in the local mom’s group, Mamanandas. Great to put names to faces. Fabulous to hear educators as mothers of boys, public school wives discussing their private school husband’s experiences  In many ways, we still talk about Nature vs. Nurture – is it environment, or is it genetics? Why do we do the things we do?

The bottom line, I think, is to be open, listen, and ask what our children need peppered with our instincts to guide us. I look forward to more Wang(ish) discussions!

No Move for Us

No Move for Us

Well, we didn’t move. No move for us. We will be staying in the Pacific Northwest for an unknown amount of time. It could be the rest of the school year, and we try again in the spring, or if the kid thrives at school – we could be looking at another 4 years, minimum. Either way, right now, there is no move for us.
