 Little Things Mean Great Mothering, Saving Memories | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:00:01

We talk to Katie Van Dyke, author of Stop Struggling, Start Parenting, about how the little things add up to great Mothering. Then, Tricia shares ideas with us about how to Save the Memories we are making with our children. Also, Nancy LOVES the Piggy Platter and has used it in her house for the past 3 years. It not only works as a place mat that catches everything–it also serves as a great learning station where kids can draw, learn letters and practice writing. Nancy’s son uses his every day and Nancy credits the Piggy Platter with the ease at which Alex learned to write his letters and spell (in 1st Grade). Besides all that, it keeps the frustration down when the occasional spills occur because the Platter contains the mess so that it doesn’t roll down on to the floor.

 Mother’s Day with Our Moms | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:00:01

Our mothers are the ones who rocked us, raised us, taught us right from wrong, and helped us launch into our own odyssey as moms. So isn’t it fitting that we spend the week before Mother’s Day talking to our own moms and giving them credit where credit is due (for the good and the bad). We talk to our moms and find out where our strengths and fears come from and we discuss what our moms wish that we did as mothers (yes, it could get dicey, but that is part of the fun). When you meet our moms, you will quickly understand why we are the way we are (if it wasn’t clear bef0re). So join us for an hour of mother-daughter conversation! And remember to send in your “You Know You are a Mom If” statements to win the Circle of Sentiments Necklace. Check out this totally cute YouTube video created by a friend of ours. He shot kids in our neighborhood for a commercial and this is the long version. It makes you feel good to be a mom! Happy Mother’s Day!

It’s incredible to believe, but 74% of parents have not named anyone to take care of their children if they are in an accident and of those ho have, most have made one of 6 common mistakes that leave their kids at risk of being raised by someone they don’t want or taken out of their home and into the arms of strangers until the police can figure out what to do. When lawyer and mom, Alexis Martin Neely, went on a weekend get away with her husband for the first time after giving birth to her daughter, it was the scariest night of her life because she realized that if they were in an accident, her kids would be taken into child protective custody temporarily and then raised by the one person she would never want. After getting home and talking to other moms, Martin Neely discovered that almost every parent she knew was in the same situation.

 Nurturing a Marriage, StoryTelling, Breastfeeding | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:00:01

We discuss nurturing your marriage, breastfeeding, and StoryTelling. Join us for an amazing hour that will help you be a better mother. Rhymes, Songs, and Chants for Little Ones What is the difference between reading and telling a story to your children? When you read a story the focus is on the book. When you tell a story your focus is on each other. You can change a mold a story to your child’s attention span and activity level. Storytelling develops your child’s ability to form pictures in their mind. Essential for reading, problem solving, empathetic behavior. It’s fun! There’s a lot of hard things you do as a mom this isn’t one of them. Is storytelling better? Good things happen when you tell a story to your child. For instance, Communication skills are developed when you tell a story. Turn taking, speaking with expression, hearing many sounds and words repeated and connected with a concept. Develops coordination when you use hand or moving rhymes. It’s portable: you don’t have to have a book with you to make it happen– great for grocery stores, doctor offices or anywhere you can’t give your entire focus to a book. Where do I start? Rhymes and interactive songs are a great place to start. They are easy to learn and remember. They are short and lend themselves to interaction. Beehive Here is a beehive. Where are all the bees? Hidden away where nobody sees. Watch. Watch and you see them come out of their hive . . . One Two Three Four Five! Buzzzzz!

Everybody cover your eyes till I say, “Peek!” Alligator Pie Alligator pie, alligator pie If I don’t get some I think I’m going to die. Give away the green grass, give away the sky, But don’t give away my alligator pie. Alligator stew, alligator stew If I don’t get some I don’t know what I’ll do. Give away my furry hat, give away my shoe But don’t give away my alligator stew. Alligator soup, alligator soup If Idon’t  get some I think I’m gonna droop. Give away my hockey stick, give away my hoop But don’t give away my alligator soup! Here is a baby Here is a baby who needs a nap. Lay her down in her Mommy’s lap. Cover her up so she won’t peep.
