My girls are both enjoying their summer fun in the pool, even though we had a rocky start with my almost 4 year old. You can read about her previous swimming experience where I mentioned how she had a bad lesson with a swim instructor. We really didn't know how she would be able to bounce back from that, but after spending a lot of time in the pool this summer, she is gaining confidence and getting better. Just this past week, she let go of the ...

We've had a truly amazing cold and flu season in my house. I have three young children and we've suffered only one stomach bug and a few runny noses.
