The great thing with social media today is being able to connect with others who have shared interests or experiences. For those who have been touched by adoption in their life, it’s heartwarming to connect with others who have had the same experience as you. We wanted to help you out a bit by providing […]
By: Amber Leventry Being a kid can be scary. Life is big and loud and sometimes hard to understand. People dressed as mascots, fake blood, and Halloween decorations are downright terrifying when you are less than four feet tall. How do you explain motion sensor witches to a toddler? How do you explain to children […]
By: Amber Leventry We took a family trip recently. I hesitate to call it a vacation because trips with kids are not really vacations. Time at the beach is not relaxing, sleeping with a child kicking you in the back or on the floor beside your bed is not restful, and road trips to reach […]

And as much as that Spanish IKEA commercial reminds us parents that kids want time, attention, and affection more than toys for Christmas, kids want the stuff too. My almost five year old daughter, Eva, wants this, that, this, and more […]
