A "MOM" BLOG FOR ALL OF US

You may wonder about the title of my blog. Let me explain. One day long ago when I was getting my son ready for his bath, he asked if I could "Make it warmer." I was surprised by this request as the water seemed plenty warm to me, if not hot. Immediately I received a treasured glimpse into the amazing mind of a child: what he really wanted was for the water to be cooled. After all, he explained in his kid-like way: warm is COOLER than hot. "Make it warmer." I thought that was brilliant. I still do.

Never Too Old

I love that kids like to hang at our house. It began when my son was the youngest child on the block and I wouldn't let him go to the other houses. Now, even though neighbors have moved and friends have changed,  the kids still hang here. They say it's comfortable and that we as parents aren't always grumpy or yelling.
I guess it goes to show that kids of all ages need to feel safe and secure. You are never too old for that.
