Why Turning into My Mother is a Good Thing

May 12, 2019

Author Julie Hoag

Why I’m turning into my mother, and that’s a good thing: Recently I had coffee with a friend who I’ve known since elementary school. We lived in the same neighborhood as kids and we spent lots of time together playing and having fun. When we were enjoying our coffee together, she told me something that both surprised me and honored the memory of my mom. As she spoke, it hit me that my mom’s way of mothering is exactly how I treat my own children. I was pleasantly surprised to realize I’m ... Continue Reading...

March 24, 2019

Vasovagal Syncope in Children Ways to Cope. Parenting tips for a child who is prone to fainting. How to prevent injuries.

Vasovagal Syncope in Children can be a hard medical issue to deal with because children need to respond to symptoms on their own at the moment it's happening.

We found out he's basically just prone to fainting, biologically. Unfortunately, the fourth time he fainted, he chipped two permanent teeth, which is just horrible. In this blog post, I'm going to share my ... Continue Reading...

Emergency Preparedness Checklist For Visiting an Amusement Park with Kids

February 8, 2019

At the amusement park with kids, parenting tips for an emergency at an amusement park with an emergency preparedness checklist to keep kids safe. Teaching kids to be safe.

I love taking my boys to amusement parks. Except when it turns scary for real, that is. This past fall my boys and I were enjoying an evening at a local amusement park. The park was all decorated in a fun fall theme to celebrate the fall season and Halloween. Pumpkins, ghosts, skeletons, monsters, haunted houses...it was so awesome. But we were shocked when the entire park, and I mean everyone, was forced to evacuate. I was scared, nervous, I admit it. We weren't sure what was going on, but ... Continue Reading...
