You know you are a mother when you watch “How to Train Your Dragon” ten times and cry at the end each time. You know you are a mother when you spend your Saturday looking for a private tutor to help your child with the upcoming SAT on June 2nd. You know you are a mother when you are willing to make sacrifices so that your child can reach his goals in school.

Many of the schools in the South Bay had the entire week off! The weather was perfect here in Southern California which made for a nice time at the beach. My daughter, Alison, and I walk our dogs along the Esplanade in Redondo Beach. I was feeling so grateful for the 80 degree weather and the chance to spend time with family and friends. We took a trip to the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum to see the updated dinosaur exhibits. It is excellent. Look for a blog about it coming up soon. I was also able to meet with a film maker and we recorded videos on frequently asked questions addressing various topics in math. These videos will appear on the Expanding Abilities Tutoring website. I am very excited to add the video footage to our webpage! I have so much to be grateful for this year and I am wishing everyone a blessed holiday season!
