Weekly Routines for Summer

Weekly Routines for Summer Fun

By / 5 minutes of reading

We’re on a routine run for this summer!  With the current pandemic restrictions, closures, and cancellations, we all need ideas for making the summer fun for our families.  My own family has settled into lazing around each day, so I’m inspired to implement more structure to our days. One way to do this is to assign an activity to each day of the week.  Some can be fun and some can be practical.  Either way, having a clear “Taco Tuesday” kind of label helps everyone to know what is happening that day.  It gives your kids something to look forward …

Signing is Expression

By / 3 minutes of reading

By Colleen Brunetti, M.Ed. If you watched the media coverage of Hurricane Sandy recently, you may have also noticed there was a bit of a buzz over the interpreter who stood by New York’s Mayor Blumberg offering up his message via American Sign Language (ASL). There was, unfortunately, some negative hype over her expressive way of signing. On the other hand, it also opened the door to some great conversation on why exactly signing is so expressive. When you watch someone who is fluent in ASL, you often can’t help but notice just how expressive they are with both their …

Signing Time Song + Your Slide Show = Winning Idea!

By / 1 minute of reading

This idea is SO much FUN, we just HAD to share it with you: We DVR certain shows on Nick Jr. for our daughter. One day the TV was still on after the show and we heard the song, “In a House” and started dancing to it. We played it over and over. She loved it! So I bought the song online for $0.99 and created a slide show of our family. I put the video on my USB drive so I can show it to her on our car DVD player. It’s a special treat for her. – Jocelyn …

The Road Less Traveled…Ouch

By / 4 minutes of reading

By Derek Brown – AKA Alex’s dad, Leah’s Uncle I chose to run a half marathon because I am in fantastic shape, I knew it would be easy, and I thought it would be a pleasurable experience.  Well, not really.  Actually, I chose to do it because my 11-year-old, Alex, decided to do it and asked me if I was up to doing it   with him.  What would you do? Now, just a bit of friendly advice here:  if you are going to run a half marathon, there is the way to do it, and then, of course, there is …
