Addressing the Tragedy in Connecticut

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post regarding the shooting that happened in Connecticut today. It feels like I have been walking in a fog since I heard about it early this morning.  Tears flowed as I listened in awe to the news reports that continued to bombard the airwaves. 

Tears flooded my eyes as I fell to my knees and cried out to God.  My heart was broken and my spirit was grieving.  As I asked God to wrap his loving arms around the bereaved families,  I began to thank Him for my own children.  Even when my children act out or get on my nerves, they are still a blessing from the Lord. I wanted to hold my kids at that very  moment, but they were still in school.  As I continued to cry out to the Lord, I found myself praying for the family of the shooter.  I know this may not be a popular point of view, but the gunman does have a family. He may have killed his mother, but his father and estranged brother are still alive and well.  All too many times we focus on the victims right before our eyes and forget about the ones in the background.  By no means am I saying that this young man should be honored for the horrific acts that he carried out today.  However it saddens me that he had the state of mind to do something such as this. He must have truly been hurting to the core of his very being and this is how it end. All I'm saying is that my heart hurts for ALL OF THE VICTIMs, him as well.

My heart aches for the little lives that ended so quickly. There will be no more pony rides, no more birthday parties, no more play dates and sleepovers, no more little league or karate classes for the bereaved families.  The Toothfairy and the Easter Bunny won't be stopping by, and Santa will most likely pass over as well.  No more trips to dentist or check ups at the doctor's office, no learning how to ride a two wheeler or how skateboard.  There will be no more field trips, school dances or graduations for the lost souls.  No cheerleading tryouts or leads in school play or post game victory parties sponsored by the Boosters.  Daddy's Little Girl will never have her first kiss, or marry the man of her dreams. Mama's boy will not be raiding the frig after school with his hungry football player friends. There will be no prom or Homecoming dances, no Senior Portraits or Senior pranks.  Those college acceptance letters won't be coming in the mail, and there will be no dorm furniture to buy for Freshman year.  The bereaved families have been robbed of all these experiences and there is not a monetary value that can place on them. 

I employ you to live each day to the fullest and cherish the ones you love.  Tomorrow is not promised, and IF you do live to see it that should be considered a blessing. As my husband reminds me that EVERYDAY including your bad days are truly blessings from God as well. 

Lazoo Toddler Clothing Giveaway

 Calling all moms of toddlers! Here's your chance to add to your child's wardrobe without even opening your wallet!

Lazoo is a quality-conscious lifestyle children’s brand and media property emphasizing award-winning design, creativity, and play. Inspired by an internationally best-selling series of Japanese children’s books, Lazoo products all embody the same core mission: to foster a child’s creative process, encourage self-expression and empower the imagination.

When we enter the world of Lazoo, we enter the realm of a child's imagination, a place of endless possibility where cars race across tree branches, mermaids teach dinosaurs to sing, and ghosts host fashion shows. In this world, kids are encouraged to think independently; "coloring outside the lines" is celebrated and all types of creative self–expression are honoured.

As mentioned priorely, Lazoo is not only about clothes and toys, but extremely interactive and colourful apps as well. Squiggles and Let's Color are two apps where the little ones are invited to draw with the use of their finger on very magical and fun drawing pages. With the hit of the go! button, they can then watch their masterpiece come to life on the screen! "Squiggles!" is based on Lazoo’s “Hands On! Mind On!” curriculum, developed in conjunction with top educational experts. Lazoo apps are designed to:

• Build divergent thinking skills. 
• Foster problem solving skills including implementing, evaluating, communicating, and revising creative ideas. 
• Assist a child in becoming comfortable with uncertainty. 
• Encourage a resilient approach to play and creative problem solving so that a child learns persistence. 
• Support the kind of appropriate risk-taking in play and thinking that inspires creativity. 
• Encourage an interest in, and openness to, emotion in both play and thinking. 

Besides the fact that they are entertaining, they are also very educative. Briefly, the apps offer the child 14 unique "living" drawing pages where the drawing palette includes stickering, chalk, mystery tool, ketchup tool and more! The apps include a gallery where the masterpieces can be saved preciously, or the option of sharing to friends and family by email, Facebook, Twitter, Lazoo community, or simply printing. Squiggles includes an amazing interactive storybook and animated short featuring Lazoo's adorable characters, Bobu and Miku, who model creative thinking and encourage children to use their imaginations and color outside the lines.

The Lazoo apps review by S.O.S. Mom: "Squiggles and Let's Color must be two of the coolest apps I have come across since I have been a connected mom. As a mother who knows her son, I can tell when he is really passionate about something. The Lazoo apps are definitely on that list! The apps' interactiveness is incredible and the colours highly inviting. The apps are built and designed with a high level of ingenuity and thoughtfulness and are an amazing tool to build and explore the true potential of a child's confidence and creativeness. Allowing children to use their finger as a tool to create whatever their imagination throws their way is fabulous. My son loves to switch between the different colouring pages and doodle away and then see it come to life as he presses the go! button. As he chooses a drawing page, the app invites him to a specific task, for example to draw some spaghetti on a plate or smoke coming out of rockets. Okay so, my son doesn't really draw spaghetti on a plate or smoke coming out of rockets... he's only 21 months-old! But he has all the fun in the world seeing colours appear as his finger runs across the screen. He has a real blast seeing little images appear as he taps the screen using the stickering tool! This app really captivates him and helps him to practice and develop his dexterity, creativeness and imagination. But I think that is really, what is the most important, that he gets to grow those skills and learn while having fun. As a parent, I just want to ensure that my son grows from interacting with an app. Lazoo Squiggles and Let's Color gets my two thumbs up and a well deserved 10/10."

You can connect with Lazoo via their website, Facebook page, Twitter profile or Pinterest profile. 

And of course, there is a giveaway involved! Thanks to Lazoo, S.O.S. Mom and Real Momma, two winners will each win their choice of Lazoo clothing between the following. The event will take place until December 31st and is open to all US residents. Each item retails for $25. To enter for your chance to win, simply fill out the form below.
