celebrating every gorgeous moment

Posted by: Deanna White on: October 10, 2008

A while ago, I took Madeline swimming as she absolutely loves the water.  She doesn’t however, like going under the water, although she is getting more and more fearless with her mermaid persona in the tub at bath time.  On one of these mermaid adventures at the community pool, she took a dip below the water [...]

I am grateful for the opportunities to share adventures with friends, celebrate achievements with colleagues and enjoy a loving relationship with family.  I am grateful to my clients for their loyalty and my social network, from which I feel fortunate to [...]

word recognition and association

Posted by: Deanna White on: October 1, 2008

As a new mom, I started reading to my daughter at a very early age.  At just a few months old, I would read my parenting magazines out loud or the daily newspaper, delivering the news in a “once upon a time – fairytale tone” – just so she could hear my voice.  Now at [...]

keeping me on my toes

Posted by: Deanna White on: September 29, 2008

Independence strikes! From the top of Madeline’s little head to the tip of her pointed toes. 
When I took Madeline to her second ballet class this past Saturday, she was thrilled to learn ballet lessons were going to be a part of her weekend routine.  We arrived about five minutes early to an empty studio, with [...]

Posted by: Deanna White on: September 1, 2008

I created a new group on facebook the other day called “the gift that lasts a lifetime.” 
I have had the fortune of having Madeline dive into reading head first, but I am always looking for more fun ways to continually encourage the good habit we have developed together.  I created this group is for [...]

in the spirit of friendship

Posted by: Deanna White on: August 6, 2008

With less than two weeks until my little one’s 4th birthday party, I have given “the committee” their assignments.  With 14 kids confirmed, I have organized this event like a production, complete with volunteers with job duties, (my hubby now refers to me as “the Andrew Lloyd Webber” of kids birthday parties).   It’s been a lot [...]

endless inspiration

Posted by: Deanna White on: May 26, 2008

My inspiration never ends.  Each day is filled with a new adventure inspired by comments and observations derived from the innocence of my three year old.  Today, for example, I announced what a beautiful day it was outside and that we would go for a walk.  While getting dressed, my Madeline informed me that we both [...]
