Time with Rascals (Happy 2nd Birthday to Hello Rascal Kids)
/As we celebrate our 2nd birthday for Hello Rascal Kids, I reflect on time with my rascals. I started this website as a way to share ideas and document our family’s journey. The boys started back at school this week and having them at home, like we did during the pandemic, will be surely missed. I will miss my mid-day cuddle session, our messy work/school dining table, and our shared lunchtime. If you asked me a few weeks or months ago, I couldn’t wait to send them back to in-person school. Now, here I am, thinking about the short time I have with them when they are truly kids. I wrote this note last year when I was thinking of how quickly my boys have grown. When you are a parent, time passes by quickly and so slowly all at the same time.
Today, I looked at AJ and Ben and it feels like they sprouted so quickly over the past few months. The idea for Hello Rascal Kids started when AJ was about 4 and Ben was 2. They were babies to me then, and now they are so grown but they’ll always still be my Rascals!
Since the start of Hello Rascal Kids, we have shared:
15 articles on ways to Celebrate as a family
25 articles on idea to Play with your rascals
25 articles on ideas to Create together
17 articles on ways to Eat
13 articles on Travel adventures and tips
22 articles on books we love to Read with our rascals
We hope continue to grow the Hello Rascal Kids community in the coming year and welcome other families to contribute and share their ideas. For submission information, visit out Contact Page or send us an email at info@hellorascalkids.com.
