One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

on
Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Holiday Traditions: Cookies

on
I’m not Martha Stewart, but I do try to make the holidays special for those I love.  I bake cookies, lots of them. I usually bake about twenty dozen cookies and mail them to family and friends all over the country.   At least that is what I did before the baby.
Last year I never managed to bake cookies. This year I baked some cookies and intended to mail them to family and friends.  However, those intentions were not realized. 
Time got away from me.  I never made it to the post office in time to share my cookies with anyone outside of Pittsburgh. Oh well, that left more cookies for us here!
I shared the cookies with my colleagues and those who attended my parents' Christmas Eve party.  They seemed to really like them. I think that my cookie baking project can still be considered a success.
What do you think???
