Warning for parents about SIDS

We just received a fax from the Franklin County Coroner with a new warning for parents. It’s one of my worst fears—SIDS. There’s new information to pass along to you and I’d like to hear from you about this, too.

When you get a moment, take it.

You always hear how quickly kids grow up, and now I am seeing it in my own daughter. But last night a very special moment unfolded when I least expected it, and I am thankful I took the time to enjoy it.

Temper Tantrums…our first real “meltdown.“

We cherish the first smile, first giggle, and first steps. Now, the first temper tantrum is one I won’t soon forget. And from what I hear from other mothers, the tantrums should gradually decline in frequency and intensity within the next 20 years.

Finding child care….what now?

Finding child care is a struggle for so many families. It can be expensive, hard to find, and a waiting game until you find the right place for your baby. There is a resource in our community that I think every parent should know about before starting a search for child care.

Welcome To Elaborating With Ellie!

My Life...

I get it. I know. Life is crazy when you are a parent trying to juggle everything at once...family, work, relationships. I am no pro, that's for sure, but I hope I can share some insight into stories that truly affect our families. Let's chat, share advice and a few laughs. Oh, the joys of motherhood!
