 Greetings,
I
love May. While the shortest in name of all the months, it is
the most complicated in essense, and one of the healthiest (just
ignore the pollen!). During this one month, we celebrate hard work,
people, and accomplishments. For some, it is a time for new
beginnings while for others it is the last hurrah before a much
needed pause in the grind of the school year. And, it is the one
month that parents with kids in school can't wait to end!! I
personally double my car's miles during May. I kid you not.
Here's what's new this
month:

 Your Child's
Health
Wrestling For Weight and
Health
Fostering
healthy eating and fitness is often a wrestling match of Olympic
proportions. In one corner, our kids highly motivated but under
trained in the rules of health. In the other, the tag team of
activity and food which can change as fast as a chameleon from
working for the health of your child to a pure health enemy.

A suburban mother's role is to deliver
children obstetrically once, and by car forever after. ~Peter De

about!
