Oh No, You Di'nt!


Oh, Yes, I Did!juggling woman 2

So you know I am on this May Mother(over)load kick.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Too darn many balls to juggle, at least for this momma to claim sanity.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                        On that note, I've decided to take a little break today, ya know, in honor of Mother's Day, of which I am one....a mom of four humans, and a puppy and a fish, to be exact.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Writing blog entries can be a great way to express my thoughts, and share experiences. There are many times I look at what I've written and say, "Job well done, momma". And then there are other times when I have nothing to offer, that is of relevancy or interest, when my creative mind is a blank slate. Not so much today, just gonna kick back. Enjoy my Mother's Day gift to me and  Read More...


                                                                                                                                                                                                                        I thought it would be a great week to reflect on love. A true, pure, unselfish love. A relationship that I was introduced to just a year ago.


A mom, a son, and a dog. Here's one of my favorite blog entries from the past year. Do enjoy... "You Had Me At...Hello!" and have a great Mother's Day!

AWESOME Dad

Well, most are! I know your kid's daddy might not be tops in your book, yet, in the eyes of your child, he probably is. I am so grateful that when my husband and I mutually took the risk to vow to spend our lives together, then had/have children, (while not always perfect) he ended up being quite the awesome dad. Assist your child in sharing his/her celebration of dad. (Um, I am sure you know, Father's Day is next Sunday, June 17th).  Here's a great way to do that, pocket $100 gift card for your kiddo, and knock out that Father's Day gift!  Here's how...

Why is my Child Spooning Beans?                           The Importance of a Montessori Education Sponsored by Small World Montessori At first glance, a Montessori classroom is not like that of any other.  Upon entering you may find a child spooning beans between 2 dishes, another working with a map of South America, or playing the bells by scale.  These are just a few of the unique activities in a Montessori classroom. We offer a homelike environment in which we approach education of the "whole child" through hands on, self-directed activities. How is it possible that children are working independently at their own activities?   Read More... The environment is carefully staged with progressively difficult, self-correcting materials, and most instruction is delivered one on one. Our extensive curriculum spans from 2 1/2 through 6 years old.  The mixed age classroom allows the child to work at her own pace and since instruction is individual, no child is left behind or forced...

JAK Gives Birth!

It's A Blog! If you've been a JAK Happenings subscriber for some time, you're probably used to the format of this weekly email: big JAK logo at the top, partner banner ad, this commentary section, little index box, more fantastic partner ads, then the meat of the message...JAK Happenings calendar picks, finally some closing comments. I've made excuses for my lack of editorial correctness, as I do not claim to be a writer. Just a mom who has got a lot on my mind, hoping that you don't mind listening to what's going on in this 40 something's head (and house). Apparently, many of you don't!
