Remember this post? We survived. We woke up at five AM. We hustled everything into the car and were out the door by 6:30. We picked up another girl and made it to the convention center by 8 and we all ran from there. [Read more...]

Dance Moms and their Stars

So most of you who read this probably already know I have a tiny dancer on my hands. Last year she was invited to try out for, and consequently got into her studio’s Company. Yay for her, tons of work for me, but totally worth how much she loved it. This year she tried out again and made it in. [Read more...]
It’s been a while

For my foodies, we had jambalaya last night. It was amazing. I’ll post the recipe here and to Punky Moms in a little bit.
For the rest of you, school is about to end. Malachai got a citizenship award and perfect attendance, which pissed off Dorian who did get gold honor roll but not perfect attendance (he was all of 30 seconds late one morning. So was Mal, hence the irritation). Malachai’s G&T testing is this coming Monday, so we’ll see where that goes.
Eshiva “graduates” VPK on Wednesday night. She’s registered for K and will have her placement “exam” sometime in the summer to see if she knows her letters, numbers, can read, add, etc… I am kind of hoping she has the same teacher Mal had for K because she was awesome.
Dor goes into the gifted class again next year, mainly because he did awesome on his FCAT (he missed one in math and three in reading, go Dor!) if I understand correctly, but also based on his performance in class this year. From what I hear the teacher he will have is a good one as well. No clue who Malachai will have, as it will be primarily based on how he does on the test on Monday.
I totally had a whole awesome post I wanted to make but I am kind of wandering today.
A little bit of everything is totally an update

I’ve been jotting off one-liners on FB and twitter, I haven’t even been blogging (about personal life or news lol)
Hi! I’m Jenn! For those who don’t know I live in South Florida and I’ll begrudgingly admit I love it here. All three of my kids are Floridians, but I am from the DC/Baltimore metro area. Love it, it miss, don’t wanna live there. My mom died a few years ago and I inherited my brother and sister and father. The twins are off to college next year! They graduate June 7. Michael is headed to Stetson to do something involving computers and cinematography and Sara is staying local and transferring out later. [Read more...]
Dance Mamas! Input please?

so… Eshiva was recruited for company dance for next year. Apparently this is an honor because normally the 5 year olds have to take a year of normal dance before being allowed to even try out for company. OK, yay Eshiva! Here’s the down side – it means we have to sign her up for three dance classes (for a total of 175/mo which is less than we pay for pre-k right now – 260 – 325/mo depending on if it’s a 4 or 5 week month). That means 3 recitals (470$ total). That means more tights, leotards and shoes (which I admit we’d have need for if it were one class or ten classes). Company is paid for entirely by the parents and fund-raising and, if I understood correctly, is a separate registration fee plus registration fees for competitions and what not. I am going in next Wednesday earlier than usual to find out exactly what company means money and time wise for me. [Read more...]
