Pineberries

This is something new I discovered on Pinterest. It looks like a white strawberry and tastes like pineapple. Read more about it here.


Yesterday I went looking for a lamp kit for my son K, he needs one for his art class. It contains all the things you need to assemble your own lamp, except the base which you have to create. I went to the Home Depot hardware store but didn't have luck finding one. One of the employees told me sympathetically that she knows what it's like to be a mother, how we have to do these things for our kids. She lamented on how many essays she has to help her kid write.

Anyway, I went off to Canadian Tire, another hardware store and asked another attendant for help in finding this lamp kit. Sure enough, she points me in the right direction and says 'I'm so glad those days are done for me!' Well, it's good to know I'm not the only mom who has to help her kids with school work! I'm happy to report I found the lamp kit!

I remember taking Maria to the public library so she could borrow books about a certain figure in high school history. She did all the research herself and borrowed 20 books.

Yes, def. glad I don't need to do things like that anymore! But a good idea to build a lamp! And with tasks like this, parents learn a lot, too! Have a great weekend! Valerie
