I have to admit, I thought I was finished with the whole car seat issue.  Installing car seats has to be one of the hardest things to do correctly.  First you have to have the car's manual to find out how a car seat should be installed in this vehicle.  Then you need the car seat manual to figure out how to install this car seat.  And then you have to hope the two sets of instructions don't conflict, if they make any sense at all.

The kids and I were at a workshop on empowering children.  The idea was to help kids learn the tools to stay positive even when things are negative. 

The first issue of the summer newsletter was sent out today on a beach theme.  

Who doesn't love a day at the beach?  These ideas will help you have fun at the beach, or create a beach day in your own backyard.  Don't forget to get out the beach towels and make some lemonade.   The kids will feel like they are at the beach even if the ocean or lake is miles away.
