This is a day that the country can come together with imagination and creative expression in order to promote dance education and physical fitness.

If you have been following this blog at all you may have noticed that my last post was in November and about turkey. The reason being is toward the end of my pregnancy I just plain felt horrible all of the time. Getting through my regular chores and keeping up with a 3 year old was wearing me out fast.

In the Victorian era tea parties were given by the grandmother to “welcome home” baby after it was born. It was meant for women of the family to gather together and see the new little one while presenting a homemade gift to the mother. It was tradition that the grandmother presented something made of silver for the mother or baby. Typically the baby showers were only held for the first child for the women of the family to share the art of motherhood with the new mother.

One of my great joys of motherhood was hearing my first child would be a girl … a girl I could treat like my little dolly. Dress her up, take her everywhere just like a little girl would bring her doll.

My mom and I went the next day after finding out she was a girl and picked out every girly, frilly, little thing we could find. Yes, we are those people. Now per my husbands simple request, I easily agreed not to go too girly, such as princess everything. We both agreed to do more of a laid-back surfer girl style, but I could still dress her up. I bought so many foo-foo dresses and headbands – just waiting to dress up my little girl.

The great debate: Which age is worse, Two or Three? Is it the terrible twos with the screaming, crying fits, or the thunderous threes with the attitude and sudden outbursts?

Let’s get into it… The Terrible Twos At 21 months something snapped inside my daughter that I can’t explain. She went from being my little come-a-long dolly to some kind of beast I could barely control. She found [...]

One of my favorite Maddie Adventure stories happened very shortly after moving into our new house. As you would imagine, or have even experienced, I was very busy unpacking and organizing – all while constantly sick from the new move. One day my mom called while I was working in the spare room/office. After only a couple minutes I realized how quiet Maddie was being. Now if you have ever raised or babysat a young child, especially a two year old, you will know that when they are really quiet, [...]
