Life with the Kid(s). The life and times of a young Baha'i family - an anthropologist mom and a playwright dad work on raising socially-conscious, spiritually-aware children - and try really hard not to go crazy. Book Report: Eyes on Nature Dangerous Creatures. Eyes on Nature: Dangerous Creatures. A Book Report by Olivia Davis. I just read an awesome book called Dangerous Creatures. I liked it a lot. One thing I learned is animals are not always what they seem. Now that is one huge snake! We have been ve...

Life with the Kid(s). The life and times of a young Baha'i family - an anthropologist mom and a playwright dad work on raising socially-conscious, spiritually-aware children - and try really hard not to go crazy. Building Community - I want it now! Where, through the medium of a pancake dream, I understood that practice is required for growth. It's a silly dream, and I can tell you about it sometime, if you ask. I was a product of a culture obsessed with instant gratification, and I saw no reason why I s...

Life with the Kid(s): Long Day

Life with the Kid(s). The life and times of a young Baha'i family - an anthropologist mom and a playwright dad work on raising socially-conscious, spiritually-aware children - and try really hard not to go crazy. Today started out well. Nathan is finally home from all of his travels over the past eight months, and I was looking forward to mapping out the next week or two with him over a leisurely breakfast. Children, however, intervened. At which point I found out we were $250 overdrawn. At this point, I...

Life with the Kid(s). The life and times of a young Baha'i family - an anthropologist mom and a playwright dad work on raising socially-conscious, spiritually-aware children - and try really hard not to go crazy. Our apartment is hot. Swelteringly so. They say in New York that you have two kinds of heat settings: boiling and not working. I am thankful that we at least have heat, but it is almost oppressive in its presence. Now she is finally resting, and I wish I could be, too, but there is always a litt...

Life with the Kid(s): Catcalling
http://davisauri.blogspot.com/2014/10/catcalling.html
Life with the Kid(s). The life and times of a young Baha'i family - an anthropologist mom and a playwright dad work on raising socially-conscious, spiritually-aware children - and try really hard not to go crazy. Geez Louise, this catcalling business is hot stuff on my Facebook feed right now. Street harassment (usually by men - okay, always by men) towards women is having its nasty side exposed, with videos about how often it happens, online campaigns, and even some airtime on national television. Guy [...

Life with the Kid(s). The life and times of a young Baha'i family - an anthropologist mom and a playwright dad work on raising socially-conscious, spiritually-aware children - and try really hard not to go crazy. NYC Day 2 - A Sunny Rainy Day. Nathan and baby Eleanor and I continued on to see the apartment. The apartment itself was in Morningside, near Harlem, and so we took the L train into Manhattan, and then caught the 1 train north to 157th street. Photo courtesy of subwayrut.com. As we turned onto 1...

If you've been reading "regularly," and I use that term loosely, considering that I loosely post things here, you may have guessed that by now, we've moved. For a family of four living on a graduate student budget (read: enough actual income to pay the monthly rent and the rest loans/grants/fami...

Life with the Kid(s). The life and times of a young Baha'i family - an anthropologist mom and a playwright dad work on raising socially-conscious, spiritually-aware children - and try really hard not to go crazy. So, for the sake of some sort of continuity, our homeschool began again today. Which essentially meant that we had one lesson in the morning (on weather) and set up our little weather flannel board. A scene from an earlier last visit, involving Ancient Egyptians. And a cat costume. I didn't know...

SO - this post is about two months late. We're on vacation (hooray for grad school winter break! So, without any more boring introduction, here's what we did:. Olivia and her fancy pose. I have no idea what is happening here. Cutting up the apples to cook. Elsie and her table knife. There's no d...
