Transitioning Your Child to Their New Home

Posted on by

How a child is transitioned is so important! There are families who feel like the transition should take as long as possible to ensure a smoother transition, and others who feel a fast transition is better, allowing the new parents to take that opportunity to comfort and soothe the child.

Does Buying Organic Make You a Better Parent?

If you watched Monday’s episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” then you’d think the answer was: “Absolutely!” Take that Jon. Monday’s show featured Kate taking her kids to an organic produce farm run by an Amish family. Cameras captured Kate and her eight kids picking up fresh watermelon, cantaloupe, peppers, corn and other veggies at “Henry’s,” then taking their goods home to make a “meal from scratch.” “It is pure joy when I can go to a produce stand and buy produce that has been picked that morning and it will land on my table that evening for dinner,” … Continue reading →

Belated Christmas Surprise in Bed

This isn’t going to be what you think from first glance. It has nothing to do with nookie. It does involve a belated Christmas gift that was delivered to me in bed, though. In one of the most romantic, delightful, surprising ways. Let’s go back a couple of days. It’ll make more sense why this gesture was even that much more romantic.
