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

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.

Summer Beach Life

Family at the beach, Destin, Fla.


Currently, I am enjoying my second get away of the summer. It's a girls' trip with me and my daughter. We're traveling to Puerto Rico to celebrate her Godfather's birthday. It's also a celebration of her in some respects.
She's accepted to the local performing arts school for dance. She was promoted to sixth grade. And, she's a great help with her brothers. 

We're really excited. So, contrary to the last post, we don't have to wait till we visit the Outerbanks to enjoy the beach. Don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that last post!
