    School lottery blues- I guess we messed up!

    @randiseeks Haha.. that's pretty funny, but yes, they have a playground and there is another city playground nearby that is our usual as it's so close. But, its definitely not the playground specifically that appeals to her. In fact, a recent quote from her is: "I want go to every school in...

    School lottery blues- I guess we messed up!

    Our 4yr old starts kindergarten this fall and we were disappointed to learn that we lost our lottery shot to attend the nearby highly rated but very small (340) public Montessori school that all the neighborhood kids attend and instead have to travel farther to the public STEAM school with a...
