Decorating with Pink, Turquoise and Purple Pom Poms!

Olivia loves the fairy Abby from Sesame Street and her mom found a great way to personalize the decorations for this party.  They had everything from homemade pom poms hanging from the ceiling to "Magic Pretzel Wands" that were offered in adorable pink polka dot pails.  

Happy Birthday Olivia!

Mommy & Me - NOLA Baby & Family Magazine

On May 14th our Mommy & Me Group had a special visit from the publisher of 

NOLA Baby & Family Magazine, Ann Herren.  

The magazine is an excellent resource on parenting that provides educational articles as well as listings for local information on New Orleans family-friendly events.  Their annual guides on summer camps and schools are a must-read for parents but each issue is packed with other favorites like their "Events" section and advice column "Word to Your Momma."

Ann handed out a sheet to the moms titled, "100 Ways to be kind to your child," from the website Creative with Kids.  We have included the link here because it so sweet and offers such simple ideas to make your child feel loved.

NOLA Baby & Family also publishes an Annual Resource Guide which you can download here.  Happy reading!

Since summer is upon us and our kiddos are out of school, our group discussed summer planning with toddlers.  After a little internet research, we found dozens of cute ideas to help us plan and stay organized during the vacation months.

Here are the ones we decided to print out because they were our favorites...

We love the idea of making a master list of all the things you want to enjoy this summer and then choosing to do them one at a time as a family.
