This Is Me

During those early days of motherhood, I remember lying in bed after a long day with my kids just grateful I had made it through one more day. After a deep sigh of relief I would wonder, was I a good mom? I was terrified I wasn’t. I couldn’t ignore the feeling of self-doubt nagging at my mind. How could I raise extraordinary children if I felt ordinary, overwhelmed and devoid of creativity?

I knew if I wanted to know –really know- I wasn’t wasting my day living by my to-do list, something had to change. Gradually I began to focus more time and attention on being fully present with them. We played more. We did crafts together. We cleaned. We even sat down and watched tv together. Over time, I saw our everyday moments were opportunities to foster creativity, teach important values and strengthen our relationship.

I realized there is no magic moment when you instantly teach your children everything they’ll need to know to become exceptional. Those small, seemingly insignificant moments are the steps leading them towards success. I’ve found it incredibly gratifying to see my young boys grow into happy, smart and productive kids. Now I want to help other moms discover how they can implement simple, time-efficient and fun practices in their home to strengthen the bond with their kids, enjoy the little moments, and guide their children along the path to success.

Love your templates for the animals. I have a year and a half to create for my new grand baby an ABC book. With each letter going to create for each letter 4 different things for each page. I am only in the process of planning and will take that long to complete. The letters would be felt. For example - A - Apple - Ant - Angel - Ark B - blue/brown for the page - then banana- ballon - button - bee. And so forth with the rest of the alphabet. Do you think this would be possible doing different materials to make it sensory also? Not sure where I would get patterns for all the different items to match the letters. Do you think this is possible - or am I having a pipe dream?

Hi! That sounds super cute! But I don't understand your question....Are you just asking if you think you could use different materials for each letter or are you asking if I have a template for each letter?

Hi Sally! I'm not sure what you mean. How would you get a template without a PDF?
