Part 3 - Travelling Butterflies

What's the apple and onion, aka the good and bad, of being a parent?

One of our KEYS families have some amazing community spirit! It sure looks like the kids enjoyed the Migration Festival.

KEYS is trying something a little new. A PRIVATE group through this page for families with BABIES, or expecting a BABY! Search "Baby & Me - KEYS EarlyON" and click "Join Group".

Share a picture of a sign of fall. Have you seen red, orange or yellow leaves? Are squirrels gathering food? Do you see Canada geese flying in a "V"? Are the fields of corn and soy beans turning brown?

It's Monday, but this is worth a share any day. Do we speak to and treat children differently than adults in our lives? Would we speak to and treat an adult the same way we do children?

For all of us who feel a little broken or worn or tired. Be a glowstick and shine!

Check out this throwback! This was about the same time one year ago when a school bus came to visit KEYS.

A short walk can bring some interesting discoveries and an inspiration for a story.
