We are surrounded by sounds, but how well are we listening to them? Is there too much so that we “tune out” the sounds, ignoring it like “musak”. Or can we hear the violins play the melody, and the horns play the ominous chords that helps us feel the building tension in an orchestral piece about a...Share the Love – First set of Winners

“I See YOU!” “Look what you are doing…” “Wow, that looks fun, I want to try it.” These phrases are TREASURES in a parent’s tool box. Every child LOVES to be noticed.

Of course, you want to try a Kindermusik class with Ms. Debbie, or an art class with Ms. Carolyn, but you are worried about the cost, or whether your child will like it, or whether they will disrupt the class, or whether you will have to dance or sing. Well, don’t worry so much, you can dance and...Holiday Thank You Cards as a Family Ritu...
Gratitude is a gift you give back lovingly, not a chore to be forced. SO, how can we, as parents, set this up for success for our children to take on this task with pride and wholeness of heart? We make it into a full family ritual, complete with sounds, smells, tastes, and a Thank...Top 5 Gifts of Music
“I LOVE Music !” your child says, whether with words, or with their body when music is playing and when enjoying an instrument, or with their facial expressions when you are singing with them. If they could, they might tell you their top 5 gifts of music like this. I love to listen in the car, and...Local Treasures – Holiday Events for 201...
It is hard to find a good listing of ALL the wonderful local holiday events for Lakeland, FL, in one place. It has actually taken a good bit of research and even some phone calls to compile this list of what I consider “must-do” holiday events coming up in Lakeland or nearby. I WISH I could do all...Grateful for Local Treasures
As I look around this holiday season, I am looking with a new perspective. Looking past the glitter and hype, I am extremely GRATEFUL to find myself surrounded by so much personal talent, passionate interests, and dedicated hard-working people in my community. Looking past the mass produced objects, and chain services, I find my neighbors...Hands On Play with Pumpkins
At the beginning of October, I set out to find just the right real Pumpkins for my annual Pumpkin Party ! This year, I had a new goal, to find a variety of sizes, from very small to very large. I was led, in part by a desire to demonstrate a growing pumpkin in the...Appalachian Music is Front Porch America...
In the Appalachian Mountains – a strong part of our American heritage was wrapped up in songs and music that were birthed on the porches and back yards and shared only from person to person. Much of this music and heritage may have been lost, except for a select few who saw the beauty, and...Melodies and More on a Mountain Dulcimer
The Mountain Dulcimer is a unique stringed instrument that was born in the Appalachian mountains. The fact that it is already tuned to a known chord, AND that is that it is played on the lap, makes it easier for young children to learn than the ukulele or the guitar. With 4 strings tuned typically...America The Beautiful Helps Children Con...
Do you and your children get tingles of pride when you see a large flag waving in the wind, or hear the national anthem, or sing “America, the Beautiful” together? I DO, I proudly put my hand over my heart and often get tears in my eyes as I watch the flag parade by. I...Bunny Rabbits – Funny Habits
Bunnies just look soooo cuddly that it is a natural impulse to want to pick them up and hug them. Luckily we have a lot of stuffed animals for little children to do just that. Wild rabbits are actually very timid creatures (some children can really relate to them), and it is fun to explore...Stopping, Trading, Taking Turns, and Wai...
Does your child have the ability to stop on cue? How about the ability to wait patiently to take a turn with a desired toy or object? How about the ability to see ONE marshmallow in front of them, and wait awhile WITHOUT eating it, in order to get TWO marshmallows upon your return? ...From the Publisher, Marialice Quinn
