School mom blog begins!

Hi everyone. As a parent and active participant in our school community, I am starting a blog to share a lot of tips and advice that I have learned over the years. I am always getting questions from other moms, new families, and even teachers about raising kids and keeping them fit, healthy and happy. I decided I should just write down the best tips and information to share with everyone. I am also happy to answer questions if you have any, or if you want me to cover specific topics.

What is my background? I have done some teaching myself, hold several University degrees, and am raising a gifted learner and another child who skipped a grade. Both excel at school, athletics and have full social lives. I have been involved in a full range of child activities - from team sports, to crafts, to girl scouts, to competitive sports, etc. and always keep up on what is out there for kids (and the parents who are trying to raise them).

It takes a village - so I hope that the bi-weekly posts I will be putting on will be of help to you.
