Raising Children to Weather the Storm
Chocolate was probably my first sweet treat as a child. Whether served hot, cold, or solid, I savored every bit of it. Maybe it’s the sweetness or jolt of caffeine that does it for me. I don’t know. It’s just so damn good. My hubby and I have that in common. We somehow passed our…
Titanic. The Exhibition was an experience to remember. I learned about the British passenger liner as a child. Then the blockbuster movie came to the big screen in 1997 detailing some of the most heartbreaking journeys of people from all over the world. The Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg in the Northern Atlantic Ocean…
I believe that every child is born with talents. But it’s important to foster those talents in order for them to grow. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame has become instrumental in our children’s athletic journeys. When it comes to Anastasia, that journey wasn’t always clear.

Where do you take a kid who loves trains? The Holiday Train Show, of course! While you’re at it, stop by and check out All Aboard Thomas and Friends! It’s been tough to coordinate the best time to take the kids this year. It seems like we can never figure it out between our work…
Cleaning pennies and making them shiny again is a fun experiment you can do with kids. It’s also a great way to explain the science behind why pennies turn green and rust overtime. Take the Statue of Liberty for example. The statue was a gift from the French, celebrating the alliance of France and the…
Water parks have become a family tradition over the years. Our two children are different ages with different interests. Therefore, finding the right one can be a challenge. It takes a little research, but we’ve managed to find places that they both can enjoy. This year we decided to take them to Splish Splash in…
