Can you believe we're heading into fall already? How'd that happen?!? The kids are back in school and the stores already have the Halloween stuff out. Fall is so fun with so much to do but it's the time of year Baby Signs starts winding down. Six-week classes don't work well when they start running into Thanksgiving and Christmas so I've scheduled the last two for the year. See below for the details and get in now so you can show off your "little signer" to the grandparents this year.

Hope I get to meet you and your little one soon.

Happy Signing,

I saw a cartoon years ago where a couple is approaching the woman's door after a first date. She says "I'd invite you in but my life is a mess." If you're like me that's pretty much how you feel if your office/kitchen/garage/house is just a jumble of little messes everywhere and you can never get a handle on it. I can't say enough about my friend Brigitte Starkey. She's really, really good at what she does. I mean really good. She's heard me complain for years about my office and I finally told her she has to come. Check out just a couple of the before and after pictures below. You keep putting this off because you think surely you can do this and you don't want anyone else to see your mess. I assure you, Brigette is so nonjudgmental and she knows how to keep you plowing through when you hit that wall. You know that one that makes you just give up and try again later. She can use what you have or recommend or even build (her husband David is awesome too) what you need in any room to get the space useable again and so gorgeous it soothes your soul just to walk into it. Tell her I sent you and take the plunge. You'll be so glad you did!

Are you the parent of a baby or toddler and you are frustrated and overwhelmed because you can't understand what your child needs or wants?

Baby SignsŪ Instructor Tina Cavanaugh is here to help you break the communication barrier! With a few signs, babies as young as seven or eight months are able to express their needs, wants, feelings and even memories. Doing this strengthens the infant/parent bond early and gives your child a jump-start toward speaking and early literacy.

With 10 years of sign language training and five years teaching Baby Signs classes, Tina shows parents how to be amazed and thrilled over and over as their baby or toddler begins to share their world with them. Being involved in a process that builds confidence and good self-esteem early in children is huge and the stories that parents share with Tina about their success is pure joy for her.

The play classes go far beyond just learning a few signs. Parents go home with information about how their baby learns and develops intellectually and emotionally through those all-imporant first few years of their lives. Come join the fun that everyone's talking about!
