about

I’m a fifty something woman who raised two boys and is enjoying the second half of my life. I was a stay-at-home mom for years and I’m now discovering a different side to life. I enjoyed being there for my kids even though the days were hectic I will always cherish them. I’m currently exploring my creative side after working in human services and education for a bit. I hope to make writing a full-time side business in some way. Writing has always been a passion of mine and I would love to make a living doing it. Blogging has allowed me to follow a passion of mine and share my experiences with others. I hope to share with others what I know about child development and parenting.

A Dandelion or a Wish

Do you remember the days when you were a child and could pick a dandelion that had turned to a puff ball? You could take that dandelion and make a wish by blowing on the puff ball watching the puff disappear in the air. We as children took this activity seriously and thought that if we made a wish on this puff ball it just might come true.

What if we kept that childlike wonder in adulthood? Well of course we all know it isn’t realistic to take a dandelion, blow on it and hope that our wish will materialize. Children do use their imaginations to make wishes and hope that things will come true.

Children pretend play and act out different scenarios. I think imagination by children is one the greatest things that they can have and use. Children are wonderful little human beings full of energy, joy and imagination. Let them create and imagine these are great attributes to take with them into adulthood.

What if we used some of that childlike wonder sometimes in our adult lives to play and explore our world? It would be an incredible experience if sometimes on weekends we used that creative energy and childlike wonder to explore our worlds. Why lose our sense of wonder ? Try to keep that sense of wonder alive in children as well.
