She Rocks in the Tree Tops All Day Long

Tweet Tweet Tweet: Rockin' Mama

by Just Add Kids Founder, Paula Herrmann

It's been a long time coming. It has been several month's since Just Add Kids awarded it's first and last JAK Peep Award.
(see JAK Chat "This Chick is #1")

Not that there aren't so many many many moms (or other peeps) that I run across daily that are deserving of this highly honorable award, because, there are. There are just certain people that stick out because what they do makes an impact on others' lives. And this lady ain't no exception. In fact, she is exceptional! Read More...

This mom ain't no stranger to Just Add Kids. If you've read recent blog posts here in JAK Chat, subscribe to our e-mails, or are a friend on Facebook, the likelihood of you running across her, or perhaps the fruits of her labor are pretty strong.

I only met Cindy Schultz, mother of 5, from Caledonia a short 6 months ago. And since then, we've probably been in touch every week, several times a week, if not several times a day, depending on what's going on. And if you are in Cindy's world, there is ALWAYS something going on. If I'd try to track her comings and goings, I'd be freaking exhausted.

To learn more about Cindy, I am just going to connect you here with my previous articles:

You Had Me At...Hello! Meeting Cindy, Gavin & Rusty (August 1st)
Hang Tight: Taking Flight (September 26th)

And I'd be remiss if I didn't share what she's wanting you to know about...

Flappin' their wings singing go bird go!"

A Great Summer Read

Library Summer Reading Programs of Heroic Proportions! by Just Add Kids Founder, Paula Herrmann Reading over the summer months can make a huge difference for kids when they get back to school in the fall. With a lack of summer reading, children can actually loose up to three months in reading skill. Summer reading loss is cumulative, leaving some kids years behind as they get older. By the end of 6th grade, kids who lose reading skills over the summer may end up being two years behind their classmates. Wow! I know, you don't want your kid to end up on the low end of the reading spectrum. Don't let your kiddo's reading skills take a blow this summer. Read more... Our area libraries have once again come to the rescue in offering summer reading program incentives under "Every Hero Has a Story" and/or "Escape the Ordinary", this years themes for a nationwide summer reading program collaborative of public libraries. POW! P retty O utstanding W ins for th...

Silly Banned

The Rubber Obsession I think my 6 year old son was the first in his class to be told he can no longer wear his silly bands or Silly Bandz (not sure if they are the real thing, or imitation, who really cares?!) to school. That was already back on September 2nd, his second day of first grade. That started it's own trend, the full blown ban of those rubbery. colorful, object-shaped bracelets in his classroom. Perhaps we'll see the full school ban in the future, or has the fad run it's course? If you're a pair of dad entrepreneurs, you hope not! They recently jumped on the Silly Bandz craze and brought to market The Original Silly Stand , designed to do what else, but keep those crazy rubber bands organized. In my house, I think we need a Silly Bandz detector. I swear, we must have a over 100, but who even knows where they are (although I dedicated a container for each of my younger silly band wearers). The funny thing is, my kids aren't wearing them a...
