Re: Commentary: How I taught my kids Python programming

WanderMom — Sun, 27 Oct 2013 19:46:59 -0000

I bought 'Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner' (http://www.amazon.com/Pytho... for my son when he was in 5th grade. He carried it with him everywhere for years.
We were recently working on his college applications (he's now a senior) and he listed this as one of the books that has had the most influence on his life.
He's already done a developer internship and is applying to study CompSci.

I was fortunate to be able to visit Iran independently for 2 weeks in 2011 (with my kids!). It was an incredible experience. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. http://wandermom.com/tag/iran/

My one wish, as a working mom of two kids, one with some special needs: can we PLEASE change school schedules so that vacation times are shorter and distributed throughout the year.

Here's a thought: German kids get 6 weeks summer vacation, Greeks get 12. Which one is more successful?

Keep up your cheering Mom!
So long as he sticks with skiing or soccer or any sport he'll end up enjoying the benefits of participating + being active. My parents spent an inordinate amount of time at swim practice + swim meets with me + my 5 sisters. Did any of us end up champions (in the traditional sense)? no. But we're all fit, active + healthy today - and we still compete against each other whenever possible.

I had no idea that Christmas lights were so popular in Dallas! I love your photos of the Christmas lights in Florence.
Thanks for including the Passports With Purpose reminder also.

Living and working in tech-land has meant that I don't usually have to care very much about how I'm dressed at work. Today, though, I was having lunch with a fashionista friend, so I 'dressed up' - with my Joe's Jeans.
And then I found this article!
Coincidence ? Or just many mom's discovering mom-tested, mom-tried, still-looking-good jeans? I think so.

Re: The Link Love Map: Around the World

Neat!
The map was centered on Iraq when it first came up (not sure if that was intentional or not). Took me a minute to realize I needed to scroll around to see the markers for the links.
Great idea.

Yay! Another person who's travel plans are driven by family weddings. Sometimes I think I'm the only one: three summer vacations in a row and counting.
Great photo, btw :)
