| "Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." Robert A. HeinleinOur harsh winter appears to have left us for good-at least until
November-and the veritable heat wave we're experiencing now has
left us with a supreme case of Spring Fever. Folks are outside
gardening, children are scootering, and shoppers are-once
again-strolling throughout downtown.And Little League has officially begun.We are brand new to Little League, my husband and I. We've got
the soccer thing down pat, and the basketball, lacrosse, and
tennis thing, too. But none of our kids have ever played
baseball. My oldest expressed interest some te (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Getting Back Your Groove |
| |
| For those of you living in the South, you have undoubtedly been back into the swing of things for a few weeks now. You’re already back in the groove whether you like it or not! For us Northeasterners, though, we still have a few more days of unhurried bliss. My kids start school mid-week, and ease back into it with half-days.We’ve spent the last couple weeks thinking about and planning our groove for the New Year. And that process always reinforces the definiteness with which kids define the New Year. To them it is absolutely “The First Day of School.” No dropping of the ball and staying up past midnight watching Dick Clark. No…it’s early to bed, with new clothing and f (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Successful Parenting in Graduate School |
| |
| As a parent, my primary goal was to make positive childhood memories for my daughter. My goal for graduate school was to stay focused and finish with a degree. By the time I started my master’s and doctoral program, my daughter was in third grade; I realized that to be a successful parent and a competitive graduate student I had to draw some boundaries and be practical and parsimonious with my time. I let my advisor know upfront that I could not attend meetings after 3:00 pm because I wanted to be home when my daughter got home from school. I valued the time I spent with my daughter and respected my advisor’s schedule by being honest at the outset of our advisor/advisee relationship. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How Do We Then Live? |
| |
| "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take, but by the moments that take our breath away."I was fortunate enough to fly to Atlanta over the weekend with my daughter, Cristina, who is eleven, to attend the wedding of my former choir director from Miami. (The very one who took our choir to perform in Carnegie Hall.) We were both so excited we could hardly sleep the night before. The thought of seeing all of our old Miami friends—as well as a dear family from Kentucky who had since relocated to Atlanta—was almost more than we could bear.Saturday night I walked into the church as the harp, violin, and flute had just begun to play. The candles were lit, (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What Is Motherhood? |
| |
| When we think of a mother, what kind of a picture we get in our mind? A compassionate lady who will sacrifice all her comforts and will work ceaselessly in the home without expecting any monetary reward, only to take care of her children. Is this correct? Motherhood means sacrifice and pain from day one of conception. But this pain and sacrifice brings forward a beautiful feeling in a woman after she finds that her children are happy and healthy. That is the only reward she desires from her children. And that is motherhood.This is true not only for humans but all mothers of the animal kingdom. A tigress will attack you and kill you if you dare to approach her cubs. Every animal mot (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Reading To Your Children |
| |
| It's one of the hardest things to do in this day and age of hyper-active kids and super busy, multi-tasking parents... but spending good quality time with your children doesn't have to be a painful torture tactic.
One of the best, most enjoyable things you can do with your kids, is to read to them. This is a great way to connect with them and to share different parts of your life story in a natural, easy, and relaxed setting.
One of the best books, or sets of books, to start reading your kids, is the "Little House on the Prairie" series. Beginning in the late 1800's, it tells the story of a distant, almost forgotten, time in American history. A time that many of us (read full article) |

Like the sound a puppy makes when it gets it foot caught.3- Fear. Similar to the pain response, a toddler may scream when confronted with a fearful situation. You may know there is no logical reason for the toddler to feel fear, but the f (read full article) |
