Friday Fun: Little Picassos!

Happy Friday!

The other day while dropping Anna off at day care, I had the pleasure of spending some time with her little friends as well. They are such adorable kids! Anna decided she wanted to draw me a picture to bring to work, and then a little boy walked up to me and gave me a picture he had just drawn and said, "This is for you, too!" (I know the names of everyone in Anna's class but I don't publish them without talking to their parents first so we'll keep them anonymous this time.)

A Christmas Reminder

I just came across this and instantly decided it was worth sharing.  Those of you who are parents have probably already thought of this stuff, but in case you have loved ones who have trouble picking out gifts for your kids, please feel free to point them to this handy list.

It was written by Michelle Zipp and appeared today on The Stir on cafemom.com.  Please check out "8 Gifts You Should Never Get Another Person's Child."

Rushing the Season(s)

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...."

Oh wait, it isn't Christmas time yet?  It's almost two months away?  Well, you could've fooled me.

Halloween was just last week, and already plastic Santa figures and garlands adorn store windows. Many of them were even there before Halloween.  When I ordered a chai at Starbucks the other day, the cup was red with snowflakes.  Very holiday, if you ask me.

It's not like we don't go through this every year, but still, it always bugs me.  What I want to know is, why do retailers always feel it is necessary to get such a huge jump on the season?

Children are Miraculous

It's so true. I just had to share this awesome photo with you. It was posted by my friend on Facebook, but is originally from a website called "The Joyful Mother," which advertises itself as a blog with life coaching and tips for moms. Check it out!

Enjoy!  Then go home and squeeze your kids. :)
