GREEN BELTS & Why I'm a Blowfish.
Tang Soo Do Imperial Dragon Karate School
When we began Emma in Tang Soo Do Imperial Dragon Karate School over a year and a half ago we never thought we'd be so dedicated to the sport as a family. Our pride for our daughter's building skill level and confidence resemble that of a blow-fish! We're THAT proud. The proud that you feel.. when you're trying to hold it in so as to remain somewhat of a " non embarrassment" to your newly " always embarrassed by you" 7 year old but little by little it ...
NEVER Leave Your Child In The Car!
Even For A Minute!
Almost 50 children died this way last year.
• Dial 911 immediately if you see an unattended child in a car. EMS professionals are trained to determine if a child is in trouble.
• Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle, even with the win- dow slightly open.
Believe it or not, routines and distractions have caused people to mistakenly leave children behind in cars.
• Place a cell phone, PDA, purse, briefcase, gym bag or some- thing that is needed at your next stop on the floor in front of a ...

Memorial Day: Fun Facts
Memorial Day is more than going to a parade and having a BBQ or picnic! It is a day of remembrance of those who have died serving our country.
~Since the late 1950′s on the Thursday just before the Memorial day, around 1200 soldiers of the 3d U.S. Infantry place small American flags at each of the more than 260,000 gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery. They then patrol 24 hours a day during the weekend to ensure that each flag remains standing. In 1951, the Boy Scouts ...

Summer Swim Lessons
Sign up NOW! SOME ARE FREE!
I'm a firm believer in swimming lessons as a life saving skill. Something that's absolutely necessary. Two years ago a neighbor's son almost drowned in a friend's pool and it solidified the fact for me that my girls MUST learn to swim.
Not for fun: as a life saving skill.
Consider it an investment.
I urge you to check out the many opportunities to enroll your child in swim lessons around the West Pittsburgh area!

Macaroni Advice: Ask Grandma
Sometimes, my three-year old granddaughter has tantrums when I baby-sit!
Sometimes, my three-year old granddaughter has tantrums when I baby-sit. What should I do the next time?
Don’t you hate when that happens? We all do. Somehow toddlers seem to get the memo about how to have a tantrum so her behavior is pretty normal as a rule. That doesn’t make it easier to manage, however.
Toddlers may not have a lot of words yet but they usually learn to say, “No” very early. You say “No” to them, so they say “NO!” right back. And when you ...
