July 26, 2013
We're so fortunate to have this lovely weather, and I don't even want to utter the words "back to school!" I'm savoring memories of our vacation for as long as I can (see our silly Sea World photo, right). I know we are all feeling summer days going away too fast! Thanks to all who have shared their BEST parenting advice with us; preview them here. It's so nice to hear what others have to say and to put your own spin on it. We've all learned that parenting is a learn by DOING process!  
If you haven't shared yours yet, email your best tip to springfieldmoms.org@gmail.com by July 29th, along with the ages and names of your kids. We will add them to our post and draw a winner for two tickets to Peter Pan on August 4th at the Muni! Thanks to our loyal readers for sharing with us, and here's to slowing down these long, summer days!
Best,
Kim Leistner, Founder
