"I knew I SKORed big when I found out I’d be staying with you. My mom SNICKERed at other daycares. And it’s a good thing because you are MOUNDS of fun. You brought me so much JOY just in my first week here. Making me smile until my cheeks look like they’re going to BURST, and all the other WAYs you make me feel SPECIAL. Most of all, thanks to you, I’m taking this whole transition in STRIDE. And my mom is too. I know I chew on my FINGERS and drink a ton of MILK, but one day when I grow up to be an allSTAR football player, I ‘ll look back and thank you for starting me off on the right foot.


I hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day!


Love, [Baby] (and my Mom and Dad too)"

Part 2. Items 16-22. Must-Have Items for Moms or "Baby Shower Registries are supposed to be fun, right?"

Image
Continued from previous post ... It's the day you've been waiting for: baby registry day. A store clerk hands you the scanner wand, a folder of miscellaneous papers about child rearing, coupons for already overpriced items and a list of recommended things the store says you should add to your registry. All the good moms add these items; you're a good mom aren't you? So you take your wand and your enormous prego belly and with a false showing of confidence you pretend to know what you're doing. You scan the shelves trying to remember what your sister/mother/best-friend-who's-a-mom told you as you scout out what you think could possibly maybe be something like what you heard was good that one time. Half way through the first aisle you're totally overwhelmed, and underfed. As you reach into your purse for a granola bar to power yourself through to aisle #2 you can't quiet the questions swimming through your head: Why is a butt thermometer 50 dollars? How...

Planning your first trip to Disney? Do this first.

Image
Here's the deal. We're a family of six with kids ranging in age from 4 years old to 21 years old. There are very few destinations that meet all of our vacay needs. It's taken us a few years to get the hang of it, but we've absolutely come to realize Disney is it -- especially with their addition of rides that serve our more daring kids with Rise of the Resistance, Everest, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Tron and Guardians of the Galaxy.  That said, Disney is like its own entirely separate ecosystem. There's so much to know, so much to consider and it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start. So, if you're planning your first trip to Disney World, or your first trip in years, avoid the overwhelm by simplifying your planning strategy.  Single most important decision to make first: PLANNING STEP #1: Where should you stay? That's it. That's all you need to think about right now. Don't get sucked into the matrix; stay on the surface with exclus...
