Calling All Mom’s: Did you know…?
I know I’m not the only A Type personality mom out there - I know this because I am surrounded by these non-stop, motivated, clever, intelligent women. Well, I’m going to share a secret with you. I was at my local Home Depot this afternoon and ended up speaking with the “Master Gardner” at that store - no, I didn’t make that up, that’s her title and she has every right to be proud of it and use it… her list of certifications is very impressive. Any who, she was telling me that she is well connected with a number of local growers who offer her free fruit and vegetable plants to use at school programs. For FREE, she will go to the schools, start AND maintain gardens with the children and educate them about growing their own fruits and veggies. OMG (an acronym borrowed from my teen daughter - translation: Oh, My God) what an incredible opportunity for the children to get their hands dirty and learn about something that they most likely wouldn’t. AND IT”S FREE TO THE SCHOOL. I was so impressed - I gave her the name of a few local schools where I know some of the Administrators and of course the names of my children’s schools. So, for you A Type Moms out there - get a hold of your local nursery, growers, or large home improvement stores like Home Depot - you never know what type of programs they may be able to offer your children. Expand their mind ladies…it’s fascinating to watch!
