February 1 is National Wear Red Day. Sure it is the month kicking off Valentine’s day, hearts. roses and all things red and pink, but what is the meaning behind this particular day? The American Heart Association has set aside the first Friday in February every year to be the day across the country […]
Alright – let me preface this with a little tiny disclaimer. I know there can be some disagreement as to whether teacher gifts should be a thing (they’re already getting paid to be here!) but that being said… there are certain times of the year that we like to honor, celebrate, and spread good cheer […]
I am a certified book-a-holic. In my opinion, when the weather turns cold, it is the perfect time to curl up with a good book. Just add a hot beverage and a cozy blanket, and you are set! Choosing the book is always the hard part for me . . . but once I’ve started on a […]
Teaching our kids to be thankful is very important in our house. Thankfulness is something that can be taught no matter the age of your children. We try to give them the tools to express themselves positively when they receive things and to be aware that it is a luxury in some cases. I feel […]

This includes teachers — who went to school specifically to teach not only your children, but everyone else’s […]
I’ve been homeschooling for a few years now, and I’ve learned some things along the way. There seems to be this invisible line that separates the moms who homeschool from the moms who don’t. I don’t like that. In many ways it makes me feel like an outsider…the mom who’s too busy being with her […]
Around 115 kids are abducted by strangers in our country every year. Lightning strikes approximately 300 people in the same time period. My point? Your child has a greater chance of being struck by lightning . . . twice . . . than he or she does of being kidnapped by a stranger. More good […]
The end of the school year and the beginning of Summer! May is one of the busiest months of the year, rivaled only by the holidays. If you’re looking for a way to spend day of fun, Nashville has got you covered this time of year! If we missed your favorite May event, make sure […]
