I said "ENOUGH!!!"
As a pastor's kid and the youngest in my family, I learned to keep quiet and do what was expected of me. I internalised that my voice didn't matter.

I got a free sand/water table for my toddler for Christmas...
Is it worth it to get kinetic sand for it?
Will I absolutely lose my mind if I let him play with it in the kitchen this winter?

I don't want my kids to have phones too young, but also, I want to be able to contact my kids any time.
I'm currently parked outside the school to give my kid a rare ride home, and not sure whether I missed her and she's halfway home by now, or she's just dawdling on her way out of the building...

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?
That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

1. What was the first major news story you remember as a child?
The first MAJOR news that comes to mind is the Quebec Referendum of '95, but around that time my siblings, friends, and I were on the local news while attending a reptile show, so that was pretty significant to us! 😀

Depends what you mean by "remember" and what you mean by "major news story"
Bob Rae becoming Premier of Ontario in 1990? The election results itself...I dunno, but I'm pretty sure I remember something of the campaign.

The world needs young people who are engaged with the world. Who speak out through art & music. Who tell the truth with art & music. Dictators throughout history have known that art is dangerous to them.
And that's why, as I said in the post, making art (of any kind) is more important than ever.

I finally caught what my kids have been sick with, and now I have no voice, just barely a whisper.
Some of them are still sick at home from school and daycare, with all the resulting chaos.
How do I parent when my kids can't even hear me above the din?!

To make Facebook more fun, I joined the community group for the island where I grew up.
Not only are the posts nostalgic and beautiful, but it's funny to me to recall we swam at a place actually named "Beech Beach" 😄
