August 7, 2006

It is hard to believe that it's time for school to be starting again! Are you considering homeschooling? Now would be a great time to drop in on the Homeschooling board to start asking questions and getting feedback on curriculum needs. I know I will be spending some time at Parents of College Students . It seems like yesterday I was crying at the Kindergarten board with the other moms who were nervously awaiting that first day of school. Now, after actually Surviving High School, my baby is going to college! Where has the time gone?
 
Don't forget you still have some time left to get those summer reading hours finished. Stop by Favorite Books and get some recommendations.

***After-School Exercise for Kids

As kids head back to school and the carefree days of summer wind down -- it's crucial to take a look at your child's fitness levels to determine whether she's getting enough action. How much is enough?

***The Truth About Soda: Is Soda Bad For You?

Of all the drinks on the market, soda probably has the worst reputation.  Soda gets the blame for everything from diabetes to tooth decay to hyperactivity to childhood obesity. But is soda really that bad for you?
