Pinay mom parenting her Caucasian/Filipino daughter in suburban America.
Mary had been very excited about our upcoming road trip to see Gramma for Thanksgiving. She has been packing FOR DAYS (as she puts it).
Whenever she finds an activity that I do not have to actively supervise, I leave her to it and never mind the mess afterwards.
So, what does she have packed so far? Looks like she will be taking most of her DVD movie collection.
She’s been stuffing this little backpack.
Let’s see, some toys that were destined for Goodwill that she somehow managed to find, pens (she’s planning to do a lot of writing, I suppose), a little jar of pennies…
At least, the other bag only has 4 stuffed animals.
We leave in two days so, hopefully, by then, I can convince her to take only HALF of her bedroom’s contents…

Welcome!
Mary is my "I'm Not a Baby!" daughter and this is my blog about her and our life in suburban America. Parenting tales, our travels and travails, forays into great and not-so-great restaurants, kitchen adventures--- all chronicled with as much photos as you can stand. Comments are very much appreciated --- let me know you dropped by! Thank you.

It’s interesting isn’t it - what is important to them as opposed to what we think is important!
V, I tagged you for a meme - please join in the fun but don’t feel pressured to do it. Or just keep it for one of those days when you need a topic for a NaBloPoMo post.

Amy- we are off to see Gramma in Iowa, so that’s about 11 hours from where we are in Colorado. It will be interesting, last time we did this trip was two years ago, we’ll see how Mary does this time around.
Manisha - thanks for tagging me. I will join in the fun.. and I do need a Nablopomo topic. If things work out, memes would be my topic for the next few days…
