As my now 9-year-old daughter navigates life battling very mild low muscle tone, I can’t help but think about the other families out there navigating through their own story and trying to make sense of this thing called life. How do they hear about the various resources out there for Read more
It is that time of year again where you can dust off the Easter decor and get ready to craft it up. Easter is that time of year where I seem to get energy to pull out crafts galore for the kiddos. Maybe it is the nicer weather or maybe Read more
“Wait until your youngest is four years old,” they say. And, of course, I don’t listen. Here I am, getting a family dog, and potty training my toddler at the same time…CRAZY right!?! ABSOLUTELY! But…hear me out on this one. We are in a pandemic with not much better to Read more
As a former teacher, I get this question a lot. When is your child ready to learn? The easiest answer to this question is…BIRTH! Your child begins learning from day one. They quickly understand to cry to get what they want, smile to get a smile in return, etc. Knowing Read more
