During the 2020 Holiday Season, I got to interview the one and only Santa Clause on the Dillo’s Diz Podcast. With still so much uncertainty surrounding us, it was a comfort to be speaking with someone so magical. Aside from the huge honor of interviewing him, we were also chatting about VisitSantaOnline.com, where families couldContinue reading “Visit Santa Online”

Walking, Listening and Breathing
Two springs ago, my husband and I started going on walks while the kids were at school. We did it just as a way to get out, enjoy the nice weather and didn’t have a goal in mind. Once the summer and fall came, I missed walking. What I hadn’t realized is that walking hadContinue reading “Walking, Listening and Breathing”

School May Not Look Like You Imagined: Part 4
A Pandemic In this series, I’ve talked a lot about J in Kindergarten. There was something else that happened that year which affected all of us: Covid. In the days leading up to March 13th, we started hearing about some local schools closing as Covid cases were rising. We wondered if our school would followContinue reading “School May Not Look Like You Imagined: Part 4”
School May Not Look Like You Imagined: Part 2
Holiday Assemblies I hate attention. I say this as someone who co-hosts two podcasts and does YouTube Lives. Guess you could say I’m a bit of an introvert/extrovert. When I was in school, I never liked public speaking, performing in a play, answering questions just in case I was wrong even when I knew IContinue reading “School May Not Look Like You Imagined: Part 2”
School May Not Look Like You Imagined: Part 1
The First Day of School During my blog hiatus, I thought about a lot of different posts I wanted to do and this was one of them. ‘J’ is coming up on finishing 1st grade. <Excuse me while I go cry.> When starting Kindergarten last year, ‘J’ was so nervous. While most kids were posingContinue reading “School May Not Look Like You Imagined: Part 1”
