Yesterday I was reading a news article in the Buffalo news that talked about the decrease in unstructured play time during school (ie recess). School has become so highly academic - even in grade school - that children are not being given sufficient time to play. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the importance of […]
It’s so easy for me to get busy and feel as though I need to rush through my days. And in doing so, I lose focus on those special moments that childhood is all about. I realized this last week as I was rushing my son out of the store and he wanted to keep […]
Let it be known that I officially declare myself to be henceforth known as one of the “powers-that-be”. My Power - to be used completely within my discretion - is the ability to randomly assign holidays and celebrations as I see fit. I think we should all have this power since the previous […]
