There can be friction in the air when your children try to finish their homework when they would rather turn on the television or fire up their DSi. Delivering parents&#8217; views on the matter to the stressed child can lead to a meltdown. Here are some tips to help you avoid those issues.
Complete the homework in a quiet, well-lit area. Avoid distractions to maintain a quiet calm. Teach your children to make sure they have all the materials they need to do the homework. Any child will jump at the ...]]></description>

With November being National Adoption Month, it always makes my thoughts turn to my precious girls, P1 and P3.  As most of you know, they both became part of our family via adoption.  While our families have been nothing but supportive, (especially my Mom) from the time we first announced we were adopting to the time each precious girl was placed in our arms, we know that is not always the case.  People can be funny about adoptions and I think that is usually because of some misconceptions and unfounded ...]]></description>

Being a mom can be exhausting. Your children constantly need your help with things. They especially need to be counseled and sometimes you just don&#8217;t know exactly what to say. Good thing there are plenty of children&#8217;s movies that provide some great insights as to what kids need to hear.  Here are some lines from movies that you can use on your children in certain situations.

When they don&#8217;t want to eat their vegetables:

&#8220;Eating greens is a special treat. It makes long ears and great big feet. But it sure is ...]]></description>

As you know Halloween generates excitement in children unrivalled by virtually any other holiday. With that being said, I would like to introduce Melissa Bernstein who has designed thousands of toys over the past 24 years for Melissa &#38; Doug. The company she co-founded, with a single-minded focus on “real play”—creative, boundless, non-judgmental exploration—to help children discover untold worlds of imagination and growth.
Melissa’s objective is to create a dialogue that will shift the focus of today’s technology-driven society, balancing it with time-honored childhood values of creative play, artistic expression and ...]]></description>

These days, a lot is being said about the importance of children living a healthy lifestyle.  Parents want their children to grow up healthy and strong. Here are three no-nonsense tips mothers everywhere can use to help direct their children toward more healthy choices, now and in the future.
Lead by Example
Whenever you can show your children the importance you place on taking care of yourself and your body, seize the opportunity to do so. The more they see you striving to live a more balanced and healthy life, the ...]]></description>

Kabongo online kids games are fun and exciting, allowing children between the ages of 4 and 7 to play games while beginning the skills needed for reading. It gets children&#8230;
&#8220;thinking—and reading—with exciting online games that they  love to play! Unlike other learning games,Kabongo’s brain-boosting  activities were developed by a cognitive psychologist and based in  cognitive development research to help kids become more confident  readers.&#8221;
The Kabongo folks asked me to do this research and write up and it sounds like just the kind of game for my ...]]></description>

This precious little board book has been written for children reading ages 4-8 by Amy Parker and illustrated by Marijan Ramljak.
In the tradition of A Night Night Prayer, also written by Amy Parker, this precious little  child wanders through the house on a snowy Christmas night offering a  prayer of thanks and blessing. His thanks are not of the ordinary however.  They are of each of the wonders that played a hand in the Christ Child&#8217;s birth.  The child finishes with thanks to God for  the greatest ...]]></description>

As a child, my dad read this story (along with Luke 2) EVERY year.  And since I heard it EVERY year, and have a good memory (prior to my migraines and children at least) I could recite both &#8216;Twas the Night Before Christmas and Luke 2 by heart.
Recently I was given a fun opportunity to try the Record a Story Twas the Night Before Christmas book.  At first, I was beginning to think it was not too fun and was going to throw it against the wall you see because ...]]></description>

Having never been a fan of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,when the new version came out, I had mixed feelings due to the fact that I ADORE M.Depp.  When I was recently sent a pretty big box filled with Wonka Exceptionals chocolate bars and fruit candies, I felt like something of a hypocrite for not having watched it.  So,at the net possible time&#8230;my hubby being more than happy to oblige as he l-o-v-e-s the movie, we watched Mr.Depp&#8217;s version.  I had to say it was about a zillion times ...]]></description>

Before school started, my Mom  and I held our annual Back to School is Cool weekend with my girls.  This was the first time P3 was included too!  Such fun we had&#8230;a sleepover at Grammie&#8217;s was the cornerstone with some shoe shopping and finishing out our school supplies lists so we could have them ready for Back to School Night.

The one thing we did not do was make our annual visit to TJ MAXX and /or Marshalls.  Why, you ask?  I knew I was lucky enough to have a $50 ...]]></description>
