L’amour

Monday, February 14th, 2011

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet.
And so are you.

Free Printables: Valentine’s Day Cards

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Ah yes, it’s that time of year where shoeboxes get papered over with hearts aplenty. If you’re like me, you’ve waited until this week to even consider that your kids need to start filling out Valentine’s Day cards.

Have no fear! We have some freebies that you can print out for junior to start on when he or she gets home from school today. You can find them in the Love Issue.

 


Click on the picture above or here to download these adorable gender-neutral cards designed by artist Sara Michener.

 

And while you’re clicking through the Love Issue, check out this Valentine essay from author Shawn K Stout. We agree with Diana—it should be required reading for all girls! (and boys too).

Love is a Three Legged Race

Friday, May 28th, 2010

 

This week my son graduated from preschool. It was a milestone. For him, it means he’s now a Kindergartner. For me, it means one parenting chapter closes and a new one begins.

It seems fitting to celebrate such a milestone this week. As we head into this long weekend we also head into a new season—helloooo summer!

Now, before I leave you to slather on the sunscreen, I want to share a story with you. You’ll find it over at Special Sauce in the House—the home of my friend and Classic Play contributor, Cheryl Rosenberg. Cheryl is simply amazing! And if you haven’t visited yet, let me be the first to say, you’ll love it. In fact you may not want to leave. What am I saying? She lives in Southern California! Of course you’ll never want to leave.

In my post, Love is a Three Legged Race, I discuss love, magical moments and making the most out of car rides with the kids.

So come on over and say hello.

Movie Night

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

The curtains open and the movie begins.

In the Love Issue we visited a family as they enjoyed a simple night in—pizza and a movie. This is something we do often in the Cooper house. Last year, my daughter had a mock pj party (she was a bit too young for a real sleep over). She invited a friend over to make their own pizzas, mix up some yummy rootbeer floats and watch Herbie the Love Bug. I must say, they seemed to have a lot of fun. (more…)

Childhood Crush

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

In the Love issue, Kirsten Nilsen discusses her first childhood love. I adore this essay. And it’s particularly interesting to me as I’ve already watched my children experience their first childhood loves. At their ages, it’s all very innocent and sweet. They seem to be working through what on what marriage and love means. Right now it’s pretty rudimentary. In fact, this is how my son recently declared his love for a preschool classmate: “Mommy, I’m going to marry her because she lets me play with her Hess truck.” (more…)

You and Me. Me and You.

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

This song has been on replay in my head for days now. Not sure if it’s from putting together the love issue or if it’s from my seven year old singing it day and night. Whatever the case may be, when I complained to a friend she made a good point saying there are worse songs to be stuck in one’s head. So true.
