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: Enjoying the last days of summer

on
Sibling love, albeit momentarily...
Last weekend was the last one before the school year started. So, it was the last few days of summer. We celebrated by having ice cream, attending church, attending an event at Heinz Field for the Steelers' game, getting our photos taken at "the Picture People" (thanks, Living Social!) and going swimming. My daughter also had the last day of her reading program! 

In a word, it was a jam packed weekend and we had a ball. Enjoy the photos!


A "Steelers Girl" at Heinz Field  
Watching her grow up has been a real treat. She's becoming stronger and more confident. I took this photo because she was proud that she had propped herself up on this barrier. She can lift her own weight, which is impressive. Those gymnastics lessons are paying off!

He insisted on getting in this canoe. We didn't even use it for our photos! Here's a link to a coupon for discount photos at "The Picture People" (Click here).
Enjoying the pool at her grandparents. She's one happy girl!
To say my daughter LOVES to swim is an understatement. She's like a little fish. She really took to her lessons and enjoys impressing all of us with her new found skills.
