Memorial Craft

Honoring Our Memories

So maybe I'm a little late with this post, but it's never too late to honor our memories, unless we don't do it at all. I was away for the weekend visiting my daughter at college, and I had to work yesterday, so I didn't do a Memorial Day post. However, this made me think about how I want to get back to those scrapbook pages I've been meaning to create, so I can give memory keepsakes to my children.

"Well let's see how quickly I can create a page", I said to myself. I started with a Craft Artist template, then rearranged, added and took away elements, added some photos, and voila!

Actually, I'm still new at this, so I had to refer to a couple tutorials to learn a couple tricks about frames and cutting photos. I could have done this in about 10 minutes if I had already known those tricks. So now that I do know, I think I'll start working more on those scrapbook pages!

Do you scrapbook? How do you honor your memories?

Family Fun

 Old Toys

Some types of fun are passed on from generation to generation. My mom was always one for keeping things. When I would visit the house where she grew up, I very carefully played with her old dolls and stuffed animals. There's something special about playing with the toys your parents played with, and imagining your parents as children.

After I grew up and moved away from home, my mom packed up all my old toys and put them in storage. After I had my own children she gradually brought the toys out that the kids were old enough to play with. Eventually she created a play room of 2 generations of old toys. This became a special

Supporting Your Child's Education - Guest Post

Parents Are The First Teachers - by Leslie Garner

All basic skills in the first few developmental years are integrally tied to the interaction with parents and other care providers. Parents set the stage at the outset for a child’s opportunity to succeed in a traditional academic setting, and there are many things that are determined before the first day of school arrives. As a parent, you will continue to make an impact throughout your child’s educational years, and there are some simple steps you can take in order to help your child get the most from his education.

Value Education
Children often take on the attitudes embraced by their parents. A parent’s esteem of educational value is integral in establishing that same sense of value in a child. Your youngster recognizes quickly that you like or dislike something. Portraying school and education positively will communicate an understanding to your child that education is important.
