Safety TopicI had a request from Shirin to do a topic on cell phone radiation, and include any research that has been done on how harmful or not it is. I thought we could also do some other safety topics under that discussion, like safety or harmfulness of plastic. Does anyone have any info. they'd like to contribute to the safety topic or would anyone like to research this topic and present info

This past Monday we were very fortunate to have guest speaker Terry LePage from opendoorcommunication.org come and speak on Non-Violent Parenting.What is non-violent parenting? Terry says it is,"The shocking idea that we put love and connection first in our parenting. We give kids the respect that we want them to learn and model when they grow up."Terry spoke mostly about the importance of giving

Thank you, Lisa, for the fun storytime. The toddlers loved it! The pictures say it all, how they are hovering over you, eagerly listening. That was cute! We should do that more often. Also, thank you, Emily, for bringing the craft. Looks like the kids (and mamas) had fun making them!

The camping trip, headed up by Emily and Lisa, has been changed to Saturday, May 1 - Sunday, May 2. Emily is reserving a group camp site at Oneil Park for that weekend. The total cost is only $35, so each family can contribute $5-$7 to pay for the fees. The site only allows tents and tent campers, not RVs. Some people have said they would like to come for the day and not spend the night, just to

The other day, Emily, Lisa and I were getting excited talking about planning an AP Living family campout. We thought this would be an ideal bonding time for our families. We can make 1 or 2 meals together, play, hangout around the campfire, etc. We could even make it an annual tradition. The plan is to go for one night, arriving the morning of Saturday, April 17 and leaving Sunday, April 18. We
