  • Celebrating Your Child's Birthday During COVID-19

    With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many children have experienced a very different birthday than ever before. Families have stayed together but physically separated from others to try to halt increasing COVID-19 transmission rates in their communities.

A preschooler’s brain is hardwired for hours of taking in new information and making connections, not for sitting still. 

  • A child’s legacy: Will’s Gift Giving

    It was a day like any other day. But it was a day that this family would soon realize, would change their lives forever. Will had been out on a Sunday, wakeboarding on one of the lakes in Central Florida, along with over 20 other people boating and skiing that day. On a hot summer day in late July of 2007, the cool, fresh water was the perfect way to escape the scorching heat.

    A couple of weeks ago, this scenario played out in my house:
