Winter Time

Children frolic, sled and make snow men Snowballs piled in groups of ten A white landscape stretched across the land Children building forts across the snow band Girls gliding across the snow and ice rink Boys testing the lake hoping not to sink Snowball fights and long winter nights Wearing winter coats, hats and mittens…

Reading to Children

It’s extremely important to read to children because it helps with their cognitive, language, and emotional development. Reading builds a child’s vocabulary, strengthens a bond between the parent and child. It can also help the child with improved focus and helps with later academic success. You can start reading to your child as young as…

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.

Writing and children

I have had a love of writing since the time I was young. I have written several children’s books which I hope to get published as well as poetry. I feel it is important to bring that love to children. If you are raising children and they are at the age when they can write why not introduce them to writing. Writing can help your children to escape into another world. You are fostering their imagination and helping them to build vocabulary. Children also learn to be great communicators through writing.

I usually shy away from sharing my writing except for with a select few as I’m my greatest critic. I’m taking a leap of faith and going to post some of my writing on here. I don’t really know how to protect it from being stolen by others. I want to say that all rights to anything that I post on here are mine alone. My writing is not to be copied or duplicated in any way.

Animals of the Forrest

Bear big, tall and black

Squirrels running in a pack

Bluebirds sing their song

Chipmunks scurry along

Racoons like robbers with masks

The smell of skunk that lasts

Rabbits soft and furry

The salamander that is in a hurry

Possums hanging from their tails

Voles underground making trails

Foxes with bushy tails
