Variety…Helping Kids, Be Kids

Spring is here and with it comes longer days and warmer temperatures.  There is a newness with spring that cannot be explained.  Trees are budding, flowers are blooming, grass is greener…even the air smells clean and fresh.  Spring is the time of year for us to get back outside and enjoy nature, as well as shed those extra pounds we...

Everyone Has a Voice

Have you ever lost your voice for a day or more?  How frustrated were you that you couldn’t voice your thoughts, tell people how you felt, or asked someone a simple question?  I know for me losing my voice is a big deal.  I can’t wait till I get a little bit of it back, even if it’s just a...
