Easter Bunny Dilemma

To tell or not to tell, that is my question.

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I had to explain about Santa just a few short months ago (click here to read). My question is this; now that the Santa bubble is burst, should all other childhood myths follow suit? As a parent, should I be proactive and explain ahead of time or wait until I am asked?

When she was only 4 and still believed ...

My key concern is credibility with my children. I want to maintain the trust and open dialogue we have developed thus far.

So go at it!!! Comment below with your opinion.

Thank you in advance!!!

It Only Takes One

My son's daycare had five amazing, 8-foot sunflowers growing in their garden this summer. My own sunflowers didn't do very well so we asked if we could have some of the seeds from daycare to plant in our garden next summer. Shawna began to harvest the seeds from the faces of the sunflowers. She took some home with her and a creature destroyed most of them - only a few remaining in their shells. She returned to daycare to learn that the heads of the remaining sunflowers had been stolen right off their stalks in the yard of the daycare. The ladies were upset and disappointed that they might not be able to carry on the tradition of their sunflowers. Cornell Sunflower - see the attempt at taping the stem ...

Due to kidney disease, he has been living on borrowed time but was still vibrant, fat and happy. Lately, he seemed desperate to get outside. I had been warned he might run away to die. I searched for two days and nights, was sad, and began to look back …. We met at a farm in 1999. He was undernourished, with mites and fleas. I was embarking on a new, independent life. We knew instantly that we belonged to each other. I nursed him back to life – physically, and he nourished my spirit. I didn’t hear him meow for the first few years of his life. I always thought it was because I saw to his every need before he knew he had it. At night, he would sleep curled in my arms. If he heard a noise, he would perch on the end of my bed between me and a potenti...

The Push and Pull of Blog Promotion: Part 2

After making progress with the art of pushing blog content to readers, it was time to drag more people directly to my blog. I required readers on my blog in order to increase the odds of collecting valuable feedback about the writing content, and to build momentum for future advertising revenue opportunities. To drag readers to my blog, I employed the strategies of pull marketing, with a ’social’ flare. Social-izing Pull Marketing Including the post link in a communication is intended to pull viewers directly to your content. An interest sparking headline or lead-in prompts the reader to click to follow the content. If the writing fulfills its promise, visitors might be motivated to read other posts and become a dedicated follower. If there are ads on the site that entice, viewer clicks may earn income for blog ads that represent a revenue source. Pulling readers to your blog site provides the opportunity to create more loyal followers a...
