1940’s Ladies
Mom’s Drawings These drawings of pretty ladies were made by my mom when she was just a young woman. I was the last of her five children and only knew her when she was older. The drawings give me insight into who my mom was in her younger years. My oldest sister is nearly 17 years older than me. She said recently that it is interesting how my perspective of who my parents were (only having known them when they…

Baby Games, Songs and Finger Plays

Even the teeny, tiny littlest ones begin to learn healthy social skills, language and motor development when we talk and sing to them and interact with them…

Trustworthy – Teaching Children Being able to trust your child is a wonderful feeling. Trusting your kids with important tasks or believing they’ll do the right thing, can free you from a lot of unnecessary worry. But just how do kids become trustworthy? Are certain ones just born with a propensity for it or is it a learned trait? While some personalities surely lend themselves more readily to dependability, kids can be taught to be trustworthy!
