What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them?  My children are 4 and 3. Being a working mom, I make dinners for the beginning of the week on Sunday afternoons to make the week easier. So every Sunday, I teach my kids how to cook and they love it. They are getting pretty good at making sauce and meatballs! When and where are you...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? I have two boys, ages 3 1/2 and 2, and we love to explore together!  We moved to Abu Dhabi two years ago- and even now, so much feels new!  The desert is a favorite spot since the weather has cooled down here.  We love to cook out, hike the dunes and play in the...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? I have two girls ages three and seven.  I love doing new activities with them, and watching them experience and accomplish new things.  Whether it is jumping off a diving board, riding a chairlift, getting across the monkey bars, or catching a wave on a boogie board for the first time.  I will never get...

Dana Henry was walking quickly down the hall of her four year old daughter’s nursery school.  She had made a spur of the moment appointment at her hair salon, to have Danni’s hair cut in a classic bob, just like her own.  As she peered through the door, she could see her daughter drawing at a table with her friends.  Dana knocked and Miss Giancola waved her to come on in.  She said smiling, “Welcome....

At lunchtime on a beautiful warm day, Julia left the art gallery where she worked and made her way to the park.  Julia had found out a few weeks ago that she was expecting a baby and she felt compelled to be near mothers and their children. Sitting on a green bench in the early afternoon sun, she took out the chicken salad sandwich she had made that morning.  Nearby, two young boys were drawing in...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? What quality do you most admire in a mother?

Mrs. Connelly had been teaching in the same sunny room for years.  She loved her four-year-olds and their parents.  Each year brought her a new mix of angelic and rambunctious children. The classroom had an open, full feeling, with lots of choices for play.  Mrs. Connelly had an instinct for what children loved to do.  Often she brought in small items she thought they would enjoy.  Sometimes they were toys her grown son had played with...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? My son and I love to go to nearby Meadow Farm and visit the animals.  He is three years old and loves to go “check on our friends”, as we say.  We will go over and see the sheep, chickens, cows, and pigs when the weather is not so great, to “make sure that they’re...

Four year old Barney really knew how to wear his mother out.  He never listened.  At the park she frequently had to resort to bribes to lure Barney away from the riding toys or the sand box.  Her promises of treats in the car nearly always worked but his demands kept escalating. One day as she was buckling Barney into his car seat, Mary realized her last bag of gummy worms had been used to pry...

  What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? I love being with my children- all of them.  My eldest are boys-17, 16 and 16 and my youngest is a girl, 7.  Sadly my three teenage boys are not that interested in being with me at this point in their life so I try to meet them on their page.  I go to their games,...

I am a proud Mom of two amazing little boys, Frankie (age 5) and Marcus (age 4), who are growing up faster than I ever imagined possible.  I love to do everything with them, including my turn at “meltdowns”, but specifically, I like to play what games and activities they are interested in.  Currently, it...

It was a lovely, cool Saturday in October.  Two-year-old Cubby was in his crib, sleeping soundly.  Fern, his four-year-old sister, decided she was going to get him up and show him what school is.  She lowered the side of the crib and picked up her sleeping brother.  Putting him in a big chair, she told him, “This is what you do at school.”  She pointed to paper and colored pencils that she had put out...

Jane woke up to the sound of her mother’s voice on the phone.  Elizabeth’s voice was different, trembly.  She couldn’t really hear what her mother was actually saying.  Jane sat up, to listen better. “I know Daddy.  Yes, I will bring the children with me.  They will want to see you both.” Jane got out of bed, quietly so as not to wake her brother Dylan, who slept in another bed in the same room.  In semi...

My children are almost 6, Sylvester, and almost 4, Francesca.  They are a day apart within 2 years so the joint birthday party (for now) is always fun.  My favorite time with them is summer because there is so much to do.  We love going to the zoo, aquarium, getting together with friends or just...

Kate and Rory Haskell lived in New York City with their son George.  Rory was a partner in an architectural firm and Kate had worked at the Museum of Natural History until the day before George was born. Kate’s days were filled with the usual things a mother of an infant does.  Time seemed to vanish and also stand still; her daily schedule would hardly fill one page of a small post-it note.  Kate slid into...

It was awesome to see the coolest guy on tour, Jason Dufner win his first Major Championship this past weekend at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York. Dufner played very well and no one deserved to win more than he did, especially after overcoming a very tough playoff loss to Keegan Bradley in the 2011 PGA Championship.  Dufner set a course record on Friday and tied a major record firing an amazing 63. We hope...
