Hi. My name is Dawn. I’m not a morning person. Ironic, I know. I have a life-long aversion to getting up early to do … anything. Except fun things like Christmas or vacation and then I cannot sleep. But, I digress. I have noticed that a really filling breakfast is important for my kids and…
I am going to start this post by saying that there was nothing wrong with All About Reading to begin with. It has been our favorite reading program for years with all three of my children having worked in various levels of the program. The black and white materials have always worked well for us…
Remember a few months ago when I encouraged you to get your kids helping out with chores early on? One of the ideas was to let them help out in the kitchen, which not encourages them to help you, but can also empower them to create culinary masterpieces on their own! Start Kids Early in…

Okay, true confession time. Are you one of those parents who can’t wait for school to start back up again while the kids are on a break, or do you shed a tear as each day ticks by, because you’re enjoying having your munchkins around for all those extra hours each day? Whether your kids…
