so sorry for the infrequent posting lately. i am spending the month of july in the mountains with my family.

besides the fact that it takes longer to connect to the internet here than it does to put a hyped-up almost-four-year-old to bed, i keep getting lured away from the computer by scenes like this:

i will return to my regular posting in august, but until then, please nominate yourselves and others for my “mothers of invention” feature. the questionnaire and my email address can be found in the sidebar to your right.

also, we’ll kick off the upcoming school year with a second volume of the “dancing in the kitchen mix.” if you have music suggestions that are upbeat, kid-friendly, and do *NOT* lend themselves to saccharine and mind-numbing hand motions, please send them my way!

i’ll be using this blog break to brainstorm about future post topics and other creative ideas for this space. please feel free to make suggestions regarding future content.

hope to hear from you soon!
