Little Things Mean Great Mothering, Saving Memories
Thursday, May 15th, 2008We talk to Katie Van Dyke, author of Stop Struggling, Start Parenting, about how the little things add up to great Mothering. Then, Tricia shares ideas with us about how to Save the Memories we are making with our children.
Also, Nancy LOVES the Piggy Platter and has used it in her house for the past 3 years. It not only works as a place mat that catches everything–it also serves as a great learning station where kids can draw, learn letters and practice writing. Nancy’s son uses his every day and Nancy credits the Piggy Platter with the ease at which Alex learned to write his letters and spell (in 1st Grade). Besides all that, it keeps the frustration down when the occasional spills occur because the Platter contains the mess so that it doesn’t roll down on to the floor.
