Hearing Health Foundation On Path to Finding Cure for Hearing Loss
As a mom, you want what’s best for your child. But imagine seeing your child suffer from hearing loss, with no cure in sight and unable to comfort them. For many moms this is a real life struggle. In fact, in the US, three out of every 1,000 children are born deaf or hard-of-hearing. My own father battled with hearing loss most of his adult life. He started going deaf in his early twenties until it progressed to almost 90% hearing loss in one ear and 95% in the other ear.

Science Fair Inspiration Movies and Crafts
My little one has always love doing science projects. In fact, her favorite gift she received at her 5th birthday party was a Science Kit her friend gave to her – knowing full well we had a little scientist on our hands! She will spend hours in the backyard with these science kits and loves making her creations. They don’t always come out the way she wants them to but I like that she is so enthralled with making her creations. This month, as part of the Netflix Stream Team, they have provided some movies you can stream to encourage your budding scientists! They also provided some crafts…

Reflections :: Vulnerability
Image courtesy of Flickr A favorite part of returning to school again, for me, has been the deep and connected conversations with fellow students.

There is something about being surrounded by groups of people, whatever the size, that hold and reflect the value and meaning of what is important to you, as well as challenge you to consider just what that means. Particularly in that I am in the situation of pursuing a second career,…

St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations Around The World

Now, as a mom to an Irish little girl, we have fun going on leprechaun…
