Apparently I forgot to mention I have a new blog

by Renee on August 11, 2011

I tweeted and facebooked about my new blog, but it’s been brought to my attention that in the chaos of leaving I forgot to include a link here. How impressive of me. So for the few folks that may wander back this way, please come say hi to Mark, Scout, Archie and me over at ramblecrunch, where I’m writing about our journey through Europe and Turkey.

When we return, I’ll just continue writing on ramblecrunch about travel, food, homeschooling, minimalism…whatever.

My sincere thanks to you and anyone else who has ever visited Days with my Daughter.

Cheers,

Renee

Tough Choices: Selling Heirlooms to Travel

April 1, 2011

With 27 days to go, I think we’re in pretty good shape. Back in February I couldn’t imagine how we were going to get rid of everything in time to leave at the end of April. Remember, we’re fully committed to storing practically nothing. A small box of documents, a little kitchenware. That’s it. Sure, [...]

Roadschooling: Should we bring all the books?

March 23, 2011

What should I do about Scout’s books? I just found out that shipping them to Amsterdam will cost much more than I was expecting. MUCH more. $150 more. That’s more than I was expecting. I had been planning on mailing an extra box of them, craftily saving on airline baggage fees, but after getting off [...]

Pre-travel Freakout

March 19, 2011

Only six weeks until we board our flight for Amsterdam, and there’s still a lot to do. Looking around me, I’m still seeing a disturbing amount of stuff. Books, furniture, souvenirs from past travels, debris from past hobbies, art supplies, notebooks, camping gear, clothes. God, it’s endless. We’ve unloaded some, but much more remains. In [...]

Juicy Developments

March 15, 2011

Five weeks since my last post, yet my blog-traffic graph is surging (relatively speaking) upward. Higher highs and higher lows. If I owned this stock, I’d be rich. What the heck? I checked it this morning, the first time in ages, anticipating a flat line. How peculiar. Apparently shutting up increases my popularity. Anyway, I [...]

Arroz Con Leche

February 2, 2011

Maria-the-intercambio and Scout made this bowl of awesomeness today. It was unbelievably freaking good, way better than regular rice pudding, which can be pretty bland. El arroz con leche es un delicioso postre que puedes preparar a tus hijos. Por su textura suave, fácil de comer, se lo puedes ofrecer al niño cuando ya ha [...]

And Then There Was Less

January 29, 2011

Recently I described my family’s desire to travel, our decision to purge most of our belongings, and my bizarre attachment to a Thai-language cookbook I will probably never learn to read. Well, after a month, of selling, giving and recycling, we’re making good progress. Empty corners now peek out in the basement. Bare patches dot [...]

Map That Mounty!

January 28, 2011

Right. It’s been a busy week. I’m working on another post, but here’s something for you in the meantime. Can you label all the parts of Canadian Mounty? They won’t let you become a Canadian citizen unless you can. (OK, I made up that last part.)

Raising a Writer: Amazing Kids! PenPal Program

January 20, 2011

Recently I described (here, somewhere in the middle) how 2010 was Scout’s breakout year for writing. Not in terms of content, as she has always been a natural poet and story-teller. I’m talking about writing by hand in a comfortable, voluntary, neat, and effective way. If your child has never had written output issues, this [...]

Child labour? Heck yes!

January 14, 2011

Recently I’ve learned some interesting factoids about diseases of the respiratory system. Take this little gem, for example. Clubbing is an enlargement of the tips of the fingers or toes causing a change in the angle where the nails emerge. It can be a symptom of some lung disorders including lung cancer, lung abscess, and [...]
