One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

on
Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Wordless Wednesday (almost): Photos from the Holidays

on
Christmas 2013 (Our photo shoot from last year when the baby was a mere bump...)

People criticize this time of year for being too busy, too commercial, and too tiring. The holidays are that, but they are much more. Even with the things that make us complain about the holidays they remain a very special time of year. Here are some photos of our family as we enjoyed the Christmas season.



One of my favorite things about the holidays is having my entire family together. My sister comes up from Atlanta and it's like we hit the lottery. She is so full of life that everything is better when she is around.

We were fortunate enough to attend the "Jack and Jill" 2014 Cotillion at the Omni William Penn Hotel. It was a great event. The hotel is just beautiful this time of year and it was fun to dress up!


Of course, Christmas was all about the kids. We're fortunate enough that we are able to make their dreams come true. So, Christmas morning was a series of oohs, ahs, and squeals!
