When all your child's senses become new memories.

IT'S SUMMERTIME!!


School's out!  The excitement is in the air! The smell ribs smoking on the grill, the feeling of exhilaration as your body swiftly glides across a Slip and Slide, and finally the flavorful taste of homemade ice-cream at a neighborhood social! Now Shhh.... can you hear the sounds of the crickets on the grassy bank of a small rippling creek? Or see the sky filled with glow of fire-flies as you try to capture one in a jar? These are all life-moments to fill each of our Family senses.  Vacations that we will build the bond to store such emotional memories we so carefully render.

As our family invokes on new experiences that will indubitably last a life-time, our children are soaking up all the the goodness of life! We will take the old senses which reminds them of their prior life and create a fresh newness to each sense. We will remove the memory of the sound of loud music which gives way to the memory of person that hurt them. We will try to replace the smell of honeysuckle that was planted along the front of the house that was full of pain. We will take those sad emotions each sense reminds them of sad feelings and replace them with sweet treasured memories!

We have scheduled outings, play-dates, get-a-ways, bucket-wishes to check and places explore! This summer we will help our family nurture those captured heartfelt explorations! Moments that when all the senses come together, will invoke the feeling of intimacy as we forever bond!

Give your children the five senses memories. Invoke the perfect memories that will cause them to seek each smell, feel each touch, hear every heartbeat, see all life has to offer and smell the sweet fagrance of life!!  All that will remind them of you!

Creating a life-long family bond.
