Growing skills in parenting and organizing.
I love hearing great nicknames for Grandma and nicknames for Grandpa. Some can be so creative, like Big Dog or Sassy and the classics, Grandaddy and Nana stand the test of time.
When we first announced we were pregnant to my parents my mother took a long time to pick out what name she wanted to be called. She ended up with Grammy and we love it.
The birth of your new baby is such a beautiful and wonderful moment. There are very few times in life that can even compare to this experience. While newborn babies have fantastic and amazing abilities you wouldn’t even think of, they are completely dependent on you for warmth, feeding and comfort.
With birth, come several amazing physical changes and experiences. If you are expecting a baby, you may be wondering what to expect when it comes to the care of your newborn in the delivery room. There are a few things that you will want to prepare for.

I struggle to find toys for my boys that are STEAM oriented where they aren’t just sitting. Sphero BOLT and Sphero Mini have been an awesome addition to our house.
My twin boys are 10 years old. They will be attending a STEAM middle school next year so we have been looking for activities and toys to reinforce what they will be learning at home. My boys are very active and I don’t want them to just sit at a computer all day.
Let’s talk about Christmas storage. Anyone else get nervous when opening the Christmas decoration boxes?
Oh please, don’t let anything be broken and I hope the lights still work! Then the frustration of untangling the lights and regret of not taking the time to properly store the holiday decor.
I am determined this year to be prepared when putting away the decorations. I have been researching some easy ways to keep everything organized. Staying in budget is important to us, so cheap is also what I am looking at.
When the kids can only play indoors, it’s sometimes tough to come up with activities they can do. Here’s a list of indoor games for kids using objects that you already have in your home, such as a ball. These games will keep kids busy while also helping them develop coordination and teamwork.
Do you have the dream of the kids running down Christmas morning and their eyes just round with amazement because of all the presents that Santa brought?
The first year I purchased all their gifts online I didn’t take into consideration the size of the gifts. I spent the day before Christmas trying to get things organized. It was then that I realized that even though I had spent what we had budgeted for Christmas, all our gifts for our 5-year-old twin boys were small.

Has anyone else been feeling the importance of health care coverage lately? Luckily, we haven’t had any serious health problems but even with any minor illnesses or injuries we are thankful for great health care coverage.
Parenting can be an extremely frustrating and daunting experience, yet it is also one of the most rewarding jobs you will ever have in your life. It is difficult to keep our cool while figuring out how to get kids to listen without yelling.
I admit, I yell sometimes.
As you can tell, since I write a blog about parenting, I am always trying to learn new ways to be a better parent.
Part of improving my parenting is to yell less. Positive Parenting seems like such a calm and mature way to raise kids. I want to find out more about it and some basic steps to implement the techniques and have a more calm way to deal get kids to listen.

Are you excited to hear about your kids day at school but as soon as you see them they aren’t very nice? In fact they are in a full after school meltdown and all you wanted to do was ask them how their day was.
I first became aware of this problem when my boys were in preschool. Their teacher promised me that they only cried when they saw me at the end of the day. Why?
When a baby is first born, starting from the very first days of their lives, their brains are being shaped and moulded. We all want to give our little ones the best start possible in life and a large part of that is supporting brain development in infants.
Stimulating your baby’s brain growth may seem as though it’s a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it can be as simple as introducing a new routine.
