UPDATES AND NEWS
I LOVE Valentine's Day. Whether it's making cards for my kid's classmates or surprising loved ones with gifts or flowers, I think this holiday should come more than once a year! We have the Giants in the Superbowl and no snow days so far so I think this winter is shaping up to be one of the best. Still feeling depressed? Then check out a local event--courtesy of one of my weekend event writeups! Here's what I've been up to lately:
- I've been trying out supplemental learning programs. I'm doing Hooked on Phonics with my son in PreK. So far I love it! The online games are fun for him and it's nice that we get to go at our own pace. I'm considering doing it with my first grader or...
- I've also been checking out other after school tutoring programs. We looked into Kumon (Cliffside Park) and I was pretty impressed with their system. And, the price isn't too bad at $110/month. I've also checked out Reading Town (Palisades Park) which has a nice system as well if your child struggles with reading. However, I thought it was a bit too pricey and the director didn't give me a good impression (his English wasn't so great). Next, I'm gonna check out JEI in Fort Lee. If you know of any, please let me know!
- Please sign Jamie Oliver's petition. He needs 1 million people to sign it. I love his push for healthier options in our food and for our kids to get healthier school lunches. Sign up here.
- Recently, there was a recall by Pfizer of their birth control pills. Read about it here.
- My heart breaks when I hear about any family that has to deal with cancer. One local mom from Leonia is struggling with ovarian cancer. If you feel led, please donate to their family to help out with medical expenses. Donations can be left at the main office at Anna C. Scott school.
- If you're a local expert and always out and about, checking out new places with your child I need your input! I've created a yahoo group so that active local moms can share deals, hot tips and offer their words of wisdom as well. This will be my "go to" group for advice on posts and to see what's going on in the mommy world. I want your rants and raves, mommas!
Enjoy your time here and don't forget to sign up on my email list (left sidebar)!

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free.
