The deadline for my Help for Haiti drive was to end tonight at 11:59 pm. At this point, we have raised $11.00. I know we can do better than that! There is a chance that we may have a company matching our donation, so let’s give them a respectable dollar amount to match. I’m extending the deadline until [...]
I received this wonderful information about St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Nick Jr.’s Dora the Explorer joining forces against childhood cancer: Dora the Explorer has a new adventure for her friends: helping in the fight against childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. Dora is the new spokesperson for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s Trike-A-Thon [...]
I had the chance recently to review Preparing the Millennial Childby MaryAnn Ball. This book is organized as a virtual parenting class. The premise behind the book is that Millennial Children are “are more precocious, more gifted, and more prone to mental and metaphysical differences than children of previous generations. They arrive hard-wired to [...]
I remember how hectic everything was after both Kora and Logan were born. I wanted to savor the moment, to enjoy my newborns and at the same time I was excited and wished to share the news with family and friends. It’s very thrilling to phone others and express your excitement, but those first couple of minutes [...]

I recently had a chance to interview Dr. Charlotte Reznick who is a nationally recognized child and educational Psychologist and Associate Clinical Professor of Psychology at UCLA. We discussed how the crisis in Haiti is affecting our children, how to teach charity when such an event occurs, how to handle nightmares, how to harness the power of a child’s imagination to [...]

I recently had to opportunity to interview Devin Hermanson of World Vision. I’ve been battling an ongoing ear infection so I thought it best to conduct this interview by email. Devin is the head of the Gift Catalog at World Vision. He not only took time to answer questions about the Catalog, but also the Haiti tragedy. [...]
The other day we were at an indoor jungle gym and found out another little girl about 7 years-old named Cora was there too. My Kora was thrilled. She’s pretty outgoing so she went right over to her and said, “Hi, I’m Kora too.” As kids do, they instantly became best friends and spent the rest [...]
I’m jealous. I’m addicted to one-stop shopping and one of my favorite stores to do this at is Meijer. Here in Cleveland the closest Meijer is in Sandusky – an hour away. I’m so jealous of those of you that live near a Meijer store and can shop for your pineapples alongside the pool pumps. With two preschoolers one-stop [...]
Yesterday we had a double-birthday party for the kids. Since Kora’s birthday is in early December, Logan’s is in late January, and Christmas is sandwiched in the middle, we combine their parties. We had one in early December for Kora’s birthday for my side of the family and then we had the party for Hubby’s side yesterday. [...]

This is Avery. He’s been with us for over ten years. He was a stray that wandered into the health food store where I was working one day. I thought he was coming in a customer, but he just snuck by. No one knew who he belonged to. He was so shaggy, but so happy. [...]
Have you hopped on the pomegranate bandwagon yet? The healthy fruit seems to be everywhere. Even in Kora’s preschool. At the Thanksgiving party, one of the teacher’s brought in a pomegranate and cut it up for the kids to try. If you’ve never eaten a pomegranate, unlike other fruits you actually eat the seeds. I was [...]
This post is going to fall into the Wordful category today. No photo here, but look up. At the top of my blog. Check out the new custom header! I’m really excited about it. Steffane from Steffane Mcclary Illustration designed it for me. She’s a children’s book illustrator/graphic designer with a fun, whimsical style. Her [...]
