Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

on
Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

Friday Tip: Free Health Resources for Mothers

on


When I was pregnant I signed up for a free service called Text4baby.  By virtue of signing up I received tips to assist me at every stage of my pregnancy and childcare tips after I delivered. The messages helped to supplement the advice I was receiving from my doctors. Because they were from a trusted source, I relied on them. Also, they were very comforting to me as an anxious first-time mom.

I highly reccommend Text4baby. It is a great service and one of the few things in life that is free.  How cool is that?!

Below is more information about the product:
