Reading to Kids Spreads Joy and Knowledge!

Tesa Jones Blog, Uncategorized 2 5

COVID has “locked” us down and changed how we interact with each other; however, I am finding more and more ways to get back in the saddle again – especially where children are concerned.  In the past, I went TO the classroom to read to the kids. Today — even though we do not live in the same state –the Internet gave me the opportunity to read to Rusty’s kindergarten class (for the first time!)  It was an honor and…..

Parenting Tips by Tesa Jones

Tesa Jones Blog 5 28

Several times in the last couple of weeks, people have asked me to repeat my philosophy on this subject . . . here it is in a nutshell. During the years when I was teaching, the parents of my toddlers often asked for parenting advice.  Many of them were first time parents who were struggling with their child; however, some of the parents had several children and were confused because each child reacted differently. My first response is always —…..

Learn From Other People’s Mistakes

Tesa Jones Blog 0 21

When I thought about the topic of my first blog post of 2019, I initially had a totally different subject to address.  However, this morning as I sipped on my second cup of coffee and flipped through an old family album, I discovered a Dear Abby entry from The Washington Post.  I am not sure of the exact date; however, because of its placement in the album, I believe it was in the summer months  of 1991. At the time…..

Mother’s Day Is Not Always Happy

Tesa Jones Blog 2 22

I know in my heart that Mother’s Day is meant to be a celebration; however, for those of us who no longer have a living mother . . .this day can be bittersweet. As the constant television ads and Internet marketing campaigns bombard shoppers, we are often engulfed by countless waves of nostalgic memories.  The day can be painful when it should be beautiful. My mom was an at-home mother during an era when that choice was the norm.  She…..

What Do Yard Sales and Precious Memories Have in Common?

Tesa Jones Blog 0 21

The Community Yard Sale is a huge twice-a-year event in our neighborhood.   If you like yard sales, ours is considered “Yard Sale Heaven.”  Forty to fifty families normally participate; as a result, there are thousands of things for sale.   And . . .  guess who is in charge of organizing it? As we all know, it has been a long cold winter . . . however, the weather last Saturday turned out to be very inviting . ……

When Failure Turns into Success

Tesa Jones Blog 5 19

When Failure Turns into Success When I was very little, my father’s job took us to Paris where we lived for two years.  During that time, I attended kindergarten and started the first grade in French schools.  According to my mother, I spoke French fluently (but don’t ask me to speak it now.)  I was halfway through the first grade when we returned to the United States.  Unfortunately, I did not have the reading foundation in English to excel.  For…..

Your Kids Should Not Be the Most Important People in the Family

Tesa Jones Blog 0 21

Your Kids Should Not Be the Most Important People in the Family This particular article has been around for a while; however, I just read it for the first time via my Instagram feed.   I can’t stop thinking about Rosemond’s sage words.  In fact, I had to read it twice to let the information sink into my brain, and I had to read it two more times before I decided to spotlight it in my blog.  (FYI — a link…..
