The Crib To Big Kid Bed Transition Nearly Killed Me

You've been warned.

Apr 14, 2022

The Crib To Big Kid Bed Transition Nearly Killed Me   I don't know about you, but the transition from crib to big kid bed hit me like stepping on a small plastic toy in the middle of the night: it caught me by surprise and it hurt like hell.  Kate Willsky had a similar experience. Her daughter had always been a great sleeper — until THE SWITCH. "She began waking up crying several times a night; bedtime became a struggle that often stretched on for over an hour; she appeared in our room before sunrise, ready to start the day." Today she writes the mistakes she made, and what she wishes she'd known beforehand. Save yourselves! It's not too late!  — Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor   read more

My mother in law used to host a full breakfast at church. I'm talking eggs, pancakes, toast, sausage and bacon. Once Covid happened things got cut back some and the attendance in our small country church really went down. Now she just does muffins, mini cereals and fruit. This year Madison had the idea of making Easter fruit kabobs so we did a practice run this week and thought we'd share. You still have time to grab what you need on your last minute grocery run before Easter dinner! How cute are these Easter fruit kabobs? These are sure to add some brightness and festiveness to your dining room table this spring! How to Make Fruit Kabobs Grab your favorite fruits your entire family loves. If you haven't tried cotton candy grapes yet, be sure to check your local grocery store! Start with wooden skewers to use for assembling the Easter fruit kabobs. Add assorted fruit and let the kids have fun creating their own pattern. No need to make them perfect! Leave a space at the top and place a Peep bunny to give the ultimate Easter touch. Plus, after eating the fruit, you deserve a little sugary treat! I always like grabbing fruit from Sam's Club because you get a decent amount for a little better price. SHOP ITEMS HERE TULIPS / TRAY / CHARGER How about that presentation? I'm just kidding, but it all worked out pretty well! Let me know if you give the Easter fruit kabobs a try and what fruits your kids pick to go on them! fashionablylatemom | April 14, 2022 at 8:24 pm | Tags: easter fruit kabob, recipes | Categories: Recipes | URL: https://wp.me/p8CyS6-16t Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Fashionably Late Mom.

Are you spending time with Family and Friends to celebrate Easter, Resurrection Sunday? Jesus cherished the Passover Meal with his family before he Died. Jesus was desperate to share his Last Supper with his closest loved ones, the Jewish Holiday Passover. Today we will do the same. Sometime we can't be where our hearts are. Jesus knew that, so Jesus reminded his Disciples "Do this in Remembrance of Me?" Today the same words ring true! Jesus, wants you to know that he died for you! Jesus died for your sins that you have the Hope of Heaven to be with Him. He died to set the captives free, to release the brokenhearted, to heal you of all your diseases. How about the #Coronavirus?

“Smiling Depression” Is A Mental Health Topic Parents Should Know About

"Smiling Depression" Is A Mental Health Topic Parents Should Know About

Apr 14, 2022

"Smiling Depression" Is Exactly What It Sounds Like, & That's The Scary Part   It's all in the name: Smiling depression is a form of depression in which a person appears to be happy and even thriving on the outside, while suffering on the inside. The mental health concern is especially dangerous since it's more difficult to detect compared to other types of depression, posing a risk for people to not get the essential support they need. On top of that, teens and young adults may also express false beliefs like "my parents already have enough to worry about" or "I just have to suck it up" that can prevent them from seeking help. If you're concerned that your teen may be experiencing mental health struggles, you should know there are resources for you as a parent. Newport Academy is a provider of teen and adolescent mental health service across the United States, and they offer a range of resources — from telehealth sessions to residential programs — that prioritize the health and wellbeing of your teen and your family.   READ MORE

[New post] Anthony Sabatini wants lawmakers to force a Special Session on ‘constitutional carry’

"We must act now to get this bill," the Howey-in-the-Hills Republican wrote. S" New post on Florida Politics - Campaigns & Elections. Lobbying & Government. Anthony Sabatini wants lawmakers to force a Special Session on 'constitutional carry' by Jacob Ogles Rep. Anthony Sabatini wants a Special Session on constitutional carry legislation. He sent a message to House colleagues to make the case that enough members desire the same. "We must act now to get this bill," the Howey-in-the-Hills Republican wrote. Sabatini has filed legislation to establish an open carry law in Florida for three years, but his bills have not been heard. His most recent legislation (HB 103) sought to eliminate Florida's concealed carry permit requirements. He has said requiring individuals to get a permit to bear arms was akin to a "permission slip from government before concealing a weapon for their self defense." Now he's following a similar path as Sen. Jeffrey Brandes, the St. Petersburg Republican pressing for a Special Session on insurance reform. Sabatini provided a template letter and encouraged House colleagues to send those back on official letterhead to Secretary of State Laurel Lee. If Lee's Office receives letters of support from 32 lawmakers, the Department of State will send official documents to all lawmakers to officially ask if they support a Special Session. It takes the support of three-fifths of members in both chambers of the Legislature — or at least 72 Representatives and 24 Senators — to force a Special Session. But many Democrats in the Legislature immediately responded to Sabatini's call in the negative. "As a gun owner and permit holder, I can state with no equivocation that any attempt to create a permit-less carry system in Florida is stupid and dangerous," wrote Rep. Michael Grieco, a Miami Beach Democrat. It's unusual for member calls to succeed, though Brandes recently said he has the votes to make a Special Session take place on property insurance, an issue that failed to make it across the finish line during the regular Legislative Session. One key difference, though, is that property insurance legislation collapsed because of differences between the Senate and House of details. Sabatini's constitutional carry bill this year never had a Senate companion bill, despite Senate President Wilton Simpson saying he supported the concept. Sabatini publicly accused House Speaker Chris Sprowls of preventing the bill from getting a committee hearing during Session and "blocking" the bill. In his message to lawmakers, Sabatini noted a key difference in the political environment this year. Gov. Ron DeSantis has said he would sign a constitutional carry bill. "Gov. DeSantis has repeatedly called for Constitutional Carry to be placed on his desk," Sabatini wrote. Sabatini has tried to go this route before. He wanted to force a Session last year on COVID-19 restrictions but didn't have the member support, though such a Session was ultimately called by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Sabatini didn't show up until part way through.
