Take a walk and take a break – taking your dog out for a bit of exercise also helps you relax and reduces stress.

Summer Art - Keep it Alive!!

I really love the art program at my GrandGirls' school.  Recently, I posted a story about the rewards I receive from being involved in the program.

So, now that we're on Summer break, I wanted to help my own GrandGirls' stay interested in art. We went shopping at http://www.joann.com/ and found these pictures on sale (coloring pens are provided):

Each girl selected her own picture to paint.  I'm telling you, we got home and the house was SO quiet as each started painting!! 

How will you help your kids, grandchildren, nieces, nephews keep art alive during their Summer break?  I would love to hear your ideas!!

I cried, too!!  Just love her.

I’m just going to keep watching this. And keep crying. Bernadette Peters. All of yes. All of it. xo

Happy 19 years!!

This is my 11-year-old GrandAngel's idea of exploring nature.

Oh! I am loving this scene.  Snow makes everything magical.

Why didn't I think about tap dancing on my roller skates when I was little?!!

Noreen Corcoran sings “Life Has Its Funny Little Ups And Downs” to Donald O’Connor from the 1953 movie, I Love Melvin. Not only does it feature this catchy little song, but it includes Donald tap dancing on his roller skates, which starts up and ends… perhaps not down, but definitely with a smash.

Some of the best dancing from the archives: phenomenal swing and lindy hopping, the Haka Dance and, of course, the not-to-be-missed Nicholas Brothers.
