Hello!

It's just me, Jamie of hands on : as we grow, a mom of three boys.

That's my founding knowledge behind hands on : as we grow - That's it. My experience as a mom.

I don't have a degree in education. I am not an early childhood expert.

And I don't want to be an expert. At least not that kind of expert.

I just want to be a hands on mom.

A mom that loves doing hands on activities with my boys. [Even if I struggle with it from time to time.]

It also turns out that I love sharing those activities, too.

Since I don't have any official expertise to back up anything I say; behind the way we learn, or why I do any of the activities we do...

...I try my best to keep it real instead.

Whether it works or it doesn't. What I would have done differently. What I have learned since.

But that's the only experience I have right now. Just by doing what we're doing, and only doing that with my own kids. Which happen to be three boys [so you may occasionally see what seems like gender profiling, but really its just me being a mom of three boys. Girls are fully capable of loving the same stuff my boys do.]

I'm learning too.

I'm just a hands on mom. Join me.

Please reply and tell me...
What is your area of expertise when it comes to parenting? What are you good at doing with your kids?

P.S. I find it so much fun to share what we do, I thought you'd love to share what you do too! Did you know that you can share what you're doing with your kids, too?

Our Activities Have Been Featured!

These are activities that I regularly contribute to PBS Parents and sometimes write as a guest author on other blogs.

And sometimes, we're so lucky to have inspired other parents to do our activities and write about them too! Or even share them alongside other ideas that are a collection on a topic. I'm always very thankful of this kind of sharing and would love for you to check out these other wonderful blogs:
