Celebrating Earth Day by Margaret Hart
April 23rd, 2013
I like being organized. I like to be able to find things quickly and easily. But lately, I have been overwhelmed by all the paper that has flooded my son's backpack, making it's way into my home and cluttering up my family inbox. I'm drowning in school flyers, and they ...
My Little Billy Goat by Margaret Hart
April 9th, 2013
This week the weather in New England has been glorious, and my son has relished playing outdoors after school. I've been letting the usual homework routine slide, so he has more time to play soccer, ride his bike, and enjoy the warm temperatures. Yesterday, when I looked out the front ...
Just Right Enough by Margaret Hart
April 2nd, 2013
Do you remember the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? Fast forward to the part where she goes upstairs and lays down on the first bed; it was too hard. Then she tries the next bed; it was too soft. Finally, the last bed was just right. And she ...
My Little Voice by Margaret Hart
March 26th, 2013
When you're a mom of school-aged kids, you hear a lot of "I didn't say it, he did." Or "She said it, not me." Or "I didn't do it, mom. It wasn't me." I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard one of those statements. By now, ...

There are 21 days until the first day of spring, on March 20th—not that I'm counting! After having been sick for nearly two weeks with one of the worst upper respiratory infections in recent years, I am SO ready for warmer weather, sunshine, birds chirping outside my office window, leafed-out trees, and ...
The Truth About Valentine’s Day by Margaret Hart
February 12th, 2013
Growing up, Valentine's Day was always a favorite day of mine. Even though my last name is spelled "Hart," on Valentine's Day it could just as well have been spelled "Heart, " and many of my friends would sending me Valentine cards addressed to Margaret Heart. Over the years I've enjoyed ...
The Social Child by Margaret Hart

My son is a total extrovert. He is very social and outgoing and loves to talk and play and have fun doing just about anything. He's been this way since birth. He started talking at six months, and by 12 months was babbling up a storm, and showed signs of ...
