Trying to Find the Words

Tears streamed down my face as I tried to make sense of what I was hearing on the news. I quickly turned the TV off when my daughter walked into the room. I wanted to shield her from the news and heartbreak coming from Sandy Hook Elementary School. I knew she wouldn't understand and the news would only make it more terrifying in her eyes. I also wasn't ready to answer her questions. I couldn't even make sense of it myself.

Teaching Generosity this Holiday Season


Between the Black Thursday, Friday, Saturday shopping rush and the ripping open of presents on Christmas day, it can be easy for Children to see that the holiday season is all about presents. How do we teach our children that Hanukkah, Christmas and other holiday celebrations are also a time to show generosity?
However your family celebrates the season, there are many ways to celebrate generosity.

Welcome to Mommy E's Family Blog!


Our children have many teachers throughout their lives. Some that teach manners and others that teach math. From parents and grandparents to siblings, friends and teachers; later our children become these very teachers that once taught them all of the important things in life that lead to the people they become as adults. I am fortunate to have been the teacher in many children’s lives as reading tutor, preschool teacher, friend, Auntie and most recently, mother.
