Follow Your Heart and Use Your Head

For the past two summers I have enrolled my son in a swim school that offers phenomenal programs to teach children how to swim.  He has a summer birthday so it is always hard for me to decide what age group I want him to be with.  Last summer I put him with the 3 year olds even thoughContinue reading “Follow Your Heart and Use Your Head”

Teachable Moment

This past weekend I spent the unofficial beginning of summer at the Jersey Shore with my family at my parent’s beach house.  Each morning my son rode his bike while my daughter pushed her baby doll in a stroller next to him as I pushed our beach cart full of “NeCeSsItiEs” up the block andContinue reading “Teachable Moment”

When All Else Fails…Tell The Truth

Since school started in September we’ve been driving past the same crossing guard four mornings a week on our way to my son’s school.  About a month ago my son decided he was going to start waving good morning to this man on our way to nursery school.  So I’m driving my bright-eyed, excited, 4 1/2Continue reading “When All Else Fails…Tell The Truth”

Have Fun with Photos

Until recently I was the kind of mom who took my kids to the local portrait studio for nearly every and any occasion I could come up with to have their picture taken.  To give you a visual of what went down on my last visit,  just picture my four-year old son jumping off aContinue reading “Have Fun with Photos”
