Color mixing can be magical! No, better than magic, it’s science!

The Myth of Perfect Parenting and the Real Work of Parenthood
As I’ve been putting together my series on The Myth of Perfect Parenting, I realized this piece from a year ago fits right in with the message, so I wanted to repost it here. (I now have four boys instead of three, so you can just imagine the chaos of our next family picture!)
Surprisingly Simple Pumpkin Cookies
My boys and I came home from a beautiful fall hike to find the perfect surprise on our doorstep! Friends had dropped by a kit for making simple (and delicious) pumpkin cookies!

Teaching Social Skills with Bubble Lessons
I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends…
If you haven’t already surmised from my paucity of posts, things have been a little busy around here. First we were adjusting to the new normal with our newest bouncing bundle of boy, then the adjustment of back to school routines, add on my online course and other teaching engagements, as well as a litany of tiny to-dos that continue to carry over week to week. It’s been a little overwhelming.
I find that when I begin to feel overwhelmed, the best thing I can do is to scale back and take a deep breath. I’m planning to get back into the rhythm next week with my regular posting schedule, but in the meantime, I have some good friends who have been sharing some of my work in some wonderful compilations they’ve put together.
Weekend Reads 9.22.12
I’m so excited to share my friend’s new blog for Parents Magazine! Bekka Besich is a childhood friend of mine who is a delight to be around and a hoot to read. She’s writing all about her experiences expecting baby #2 in her blog, Great Expectations. Her tongue-in-cheek, ruthlessly honest, and “endearingly imperfect” stories will make you laugh till you cry. (And because I’ve been reading her personal blog as well, I know there are times she’ll make you just plain old cry. This one still gets me every time.) Check out her blog and become a fan of hers on Facebook! [Read more…]
Pumpkin Treats for Fall
I’ve mentioned before, and I’ll mention many times again: I love fall! The sight, the sound, the smell, and yes, the taste!
The Artful Year: Autumn
I love fall! The crispness, the colors, all of it! Most of all, I love that it is traditionally a time of celebration and a time to gather as families. It is a perfect time for building memorable scenes for our children. Whether is coming together to bake a special treat or to decorate for the holidays, our children build not only fine motor skills and creative abilities, but they build family ties and a sense of place in the process.
In my experience blogging I have been blessed to meet many amazing women. Jean Vant Hul of the Artful Parent is one of them. She is absolutely lovely and gracious. And she is splendidly talented.
