What’s Shaping Your Weekend Plans? Discover the Latest Friday Faves
As the weekend approaches, excitement begins to bubble over for many families. For me this Friday, the lineup includes attending a North Coast Lifeguard (NCL) charity event, two birthday celebrations for friends, and of course, dinner by the pool with family. With temperatures soaring into the 90s, I’m not just looking forward to the weekend—I’m embracing the feel of summer with a refreshing decaf Americano in hand and a gluten-free donut on the side!
Reflecting on a Memorable Week
Last week brought a significant highlight—a captivating performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. The venue was nearly packed, creating an electrifying atmosphere supported by fellow performers and enthusiastic audience members. Interspersed with the excitement were my usual 'dance-mom' duties at my daughter Liv's dance competition, where I balanced the dynamics of orchestral rehearsals and little dance adventures. This sampling of my week serves as a reminder of the little joys that can create a meaningful life filled with diverse experiences.

Adapting to New Adventures in Homeschooling
This week marked our first official homeschooling week for my youngest, P. As Liv has transitioned beautifully into her new school, I’ve taken the leap into homeschooling and find myself truly enjoying the process. Our days are filled with not just reading, writing, and math, but also fun additions like science experiments, cooking, and art activities. It’s a whirlwind of learning and togetherness that I never anticipated. I’m grateful to the supportive community of homeschooling parents who have provided invaluable advice and resources for our journey.
