I’ve been trying to teach Jude different ways to give and that the holidays are about more than receiving presents. Last week we bought a gift for our the angel tree as part of the Teaching Kids to Give series and this week we mailed a post card to the USO through the Cheerios Cheer…

First Date Anniversary Date

Every year on the day after Thanksgiving Joe and I celebrate our First Date by going to the same restaurant we went on our first date. We reminisce, laugh and talk about how far we’ve come. I think I like First Date Anniversary more than Thanksgiving. The First Date In 2005 on the day…

Teaching Kids to Give: Our Angel

We are members at our local YMCA and each year they have a tree angel program that gives needy children the opportunity to have a special Christmas. I thought this would be a great way for Jude to participate and to learn about giving. I let him pick the angel off the tree and hand…

Teaching Kids to Give – Thanks AND Giving

Thanksgiving is on Thursday and while it’s never been one of my favorite holidays (I don’t care for most of the traditional holiday food.) I think this is the perfect time to start teaching Jude about giving. We have so many things to be thankful for and I think one of the best ways we…

Ways to Teach Your Toddler Colors

In my journey to teach my children their learning styles, I had to find a way to teach colors in a very hands-on way. Our toy tools have come in very handy in the past for teaching numbers, so it’s only natural that they’d be really useful in teaching primary colors. Just as in teaching…

A Rainy Halloween

It rained last night. Pretty much from the beginning till the end of acceptable Trick-or-Treat times. It was sad. We were kind of bummed. But we decided to take Jude out for just a bit because he has been waiting all month to go Trick-or-Treating. We hoped that if we waited a bit the rain…

The Shoes I Never Thought I’d Buy

In my dreams I’m a “classy lady”, the kind who buys only nice things and gives her friends and family only the finest gifts. In my other dreams I’m the “fun mom”, laughing and playing with my kids all the time. In reality I don’t think anyone would call me “classy”. Classy ladies don’t fart…
