Thank you, Jeremy! As a Berkeley Playhouse Family, we will be so happy to have those doors re-open!

Can we get a graph of how this tracks over time and how it compares to similar cities?

Re: Berkeley to reopen swimming pools, barbers, wine tasting — with restrictions

Whitney M — Thu, 27 Aug 2020 18:40:36 -0000

One of the bullet points near the top of the article includes sports, but the rest of the article and the health order don't seem to address sports. Is this an error? We just heard from BHS that there is no current allowance for sports before December.

Super cute, Sally!

Re: What will ‘back to school’ look like in Berkeley? BUSD plans for hybrid learning — if COVID-19 restrictions ease

Whitney M — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 14:19:35 -0000

I think the block schedule in-person concept is the plan in the case that we move forward in re-opening, but with the current rate of cases and our paused phase of reopening, if school started tomorrow, it would be distance learning for the high school.

So proud of those young organizers! Really impressive meaningful work. Great coverage, The Oaklandside!

For consumers, the new location -- in Albany, next to Sprouts, is extremely close. Yes, it's a different town, so maybe from the perspective of Berkleyside it's a big move, but for customers, not a big deal. Having an empty storefront there is a bummer, though. May something awesome move in!

Love this so much! I've looked at it several times!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Thanks for sharing her life today, Dina.

Sally, this is one of my faves! Can I add a pic of Mathilde to this post? http://www.rookiemoms.com/f...

I love you.

I feel panicky and overwhelmed on the raising adults thing. Glad you're in it with me. Brag: Julian hasn't lost his retainers and he's owned them for at least three months, so I think he's almost ready to get a job, drive, and live on his own.

We are thinking about going to no screentime during the school week. (First day of school is tomorrow.) I worry about what that article reported and I think it's like feeding our kids a diet of food that was just invented in factories this year -- we don't really know how it impacts growth and development.

You look like a grandma from the 1940s shelling peas in your apron! But, like, a young, pretty one. You must have had your daughter when you were 17.

I don't get the sharing of his FB page. Looks like a totally normal kid.

Re: Fall 2014 Fashion Capsule Wardrobe Project

Whitney M — Sun, 24 Aug 2014 23:03:26 -0000

Excited about following along, and I am wondering how working from home affects your dressing and schedule. Yesterday, for example, I went from PJs to running clothes to swim/pool clothes to the shower and back to PJs! My darling wardrobe didn't even get a chance to see the daylight!

I wish we could hang out, Amy. I'm in the middle of a 30x30 fashion challenge (I recently posted about it.) It made me happy that I have so many clothes I love. I don't want to get rid of them!! Plus, we don't have seasons, so... there's no rotating.

I also loved that book, which means I should probably buy an epilator. #brunettepower

Such a good job! I LOVE the ceiling! I pinned it. (That's how much I love it. I didn't print it and hang it on my wall, but I'm thinking about it.)

Great topic. Emily, I write about motherhood as well, but I was mostly moved to comment because my sister's name is Emily Moss. {Yay!}

Do you cook the potstickers or stick them in frozen?

Love every single reference in this post, especially the Gennerra line. My kids (matching ages and gender to A + F) will not watch movies, which drives us crazy (what did we do wrong??) but I'm going to take this Air Bud recommendation and force it on them.

I laughed out loud. My husband is also a reverend in your church, but I didn't think of the doctor part. Love the joke between you and your friend. I saw kilts sized for your boys sold on Melrose. I think you need to buy them.

Buying big if possible. My son is about to play soccer for the third year in his same uniform. He wore it pretty large at age 5 and now at 7, it fits perfectly. We've only bought new cleats once.

I use Pandora on my Black Eyed Peas channel. Great minds think alike.
