Tips for Spending Quality Time with the Family
We like to enjoy a family night-in about once a week. Usually it falls on a Friday or Saturday night and it’s a great time for us to spend time together, whether we are playing board games, cards (my daughter is extremely lucky… ) or watching a movie together, I do treasure these moments as I anticipate it might get harder to have my soon-to-be teenager to want to “hang with the parents.” I think though that teens, especially teens, still need this family time to reconnect and stay grounded during these rather whirlwind years. One of our new favorite movies, A Wrinkle in Time, will appeal to just about every family.…

Knott’s Berry Farm HANGTIME Roller Coaster Defies Gravity!
HangTime, the first and only dive coaster in California, is now open at Knott’s Berry Farm! HangTime towers 150 feet over the Boardwalk area showcasing a beyond vertical drop, gravity-defying inversions, and mid-air suspensions. This week I was invited to attend the Knott’s Berry Farm HangTime Preview Party on behalf of Belair Mommie because she was too chicken to go. I joke, but after riding both the Xcelerator The Ride® AND the surf-themed rollercoaster HangTime – the first and only dive coaster in California, I can’t blame her. For those who love a thrill ride you are in for a treat! I’ve never experienced a ride like that – ever! It feels…

Curiosity May Be the Single Most Important Trait for Success in School
This week I came across an article that really hit home with me and confirmed my thoughts on the importance of creativity and why parents and educators should encourage this trait. New research published in the journal Pediatric Research in April suggests there may be one simple trait that can help kids learn and succeed in school, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Researchers who looked at the reading and math scores of 6,200 kindergarteners in 2006 and 2007 found that those kids whose parents rated their children’s behavior as most curious did the best in school, regardless of socioeconomic status. The results were consistent for both boys and girls, too. The…

Self-care is essential for your mental and physical health
I don’t know about you but when things get really hectic I absolutely need some downtime to refuel! I’m always encouraging our dandelion community to take some time out for you because frankly we all need a little break from time to time. Juggling a family, work, a business, parents, kids, in-laws, husband, partner, etc., takes a lot of energy and I promise you that if you take care of you – you’ll have more to give others! “Maintaining the basic day-to-day with no extraordinary circumstances, keeping all those balls in the air, is a really demanding endeavor, and it leaves very little time for moms to be able…
