How Over-Coddling Has Created Vindictive Protectiveness

August 25, 2015 By Chelsea

Recently, I saw an article by a mom who said she’s not a helicopter parent – she just enjoys spending the time in the morning before school walking with her son. And I loved it. There’s so much emphasis these days on not hovering over your child that even volunteering in the classroom is suddenly seen as overbearing. For me, this time while our kids are children is flying by too fast and I hope to cherish every moment I can get with them (while trying to juggle work, etc.) and make memories together. I love that I can joke with my middle school child about things that happened when I volunteered for art in her Kinder class. Or that my other kids and I can joke about how grumpy a particular teacher was at their school. That being said, there’s no denying that there’s such thing as over-coddling.

For example, there was a law student that didn’t want her teacher to [Read more…] about How Over-Coddling Has Created Vindictive Protectiveness

My closest friends still can’t believe I got a dog three months ago. In fact, I can’t believe I got a dog. And I’d love to say “it was for the kids,” but it’s soooo not true! I absolutely needed my side by side buddy, who loves to nap at my feet while I work and who greets me like no body’s business when I get home. It’s so special to [Read more…] about Sponsored Video: A Boy and His Dog Duck. IAMS. Good for Life.

Movie Review of Minions Movie

July 8, 2015 By Chelsea

Minions-Still2There’s something to be said for stepping into an air conditioned theater as the summer heats up. Each year, my family and I look very forward to seeing the movies that come out aimed at kids and we were counting down the days until we got to see an advanced screening of Minions, that opens in theaters this Friday, July 10.

The story is a prequel that takes our favorite yellow fellas back to the 60’s in search of a new super villain to follow. Truth be told, my husband and I felt it was [Read more…] about Movie Review of Minions Movie
