You can track Santa Claus’ trek across the earth on Christmas Eve at www.noradsanta.org.
NORAD stands for the North American Aerospace Defense Command, a bi-national defense effort between the US and Canada. The website will show you where on earth Santa is and you can watch him fly through New York City, Chicago, etc. This way, you can encourage your children to go to bed by letting them know when Santa Claus is scheduled to arrive in your town so that, like children who’ve been good all year, they will be sound asleep before Santa and his reindeer arrive (the website is already counting down the days to Santa’s annual journey)!
What is Santa got sick! Who would delivery the toys? Mrs. Claus Saves Christmas by Yvonne Wonder
Santa is sick with the flu and cannot deliver the Christmas toys this year! In a delightful holiday poem, joyfully illustrated, Mrs. Claus steps in to make sure no child is disappointed. “Happy as can be and filled with glee, she could see what a success this night would be. From now on, she thought, ‘We both will share and Christmas Eve will be a Claus affair!'” From checking the naughty and nice list, to helping the elves get the presents ready, to preparing the reindeer, to flying around the world, Mrs. Claus Saves Christmas!
Perfect reading to inspire little girls
As the founder and managing director of Destination Sitters, LLC, a national hotel and event babysitting service, and the mother of two children, I strongly believe that family comes first. I personally needed babysitting when I moved to San Diego 14 years ago. Like most parents, I assumed there were standards for temporary babysitting; in reality, there are no state standards or licensing requirements for temporary babysitting. The idea for Destination Sitters was born! I wanted to Give Parents Peace of Mind® when traveling with their children, so I created strict screening requirements for the sitters we refer. There is nothing like the peace of mind that comes from getting great professional help to care for your children, especially when traveling away from home. I and my partners, along with our office staff, have that one goal in mind with everything we do.
Through the years of working with children, I have been inspired to write three books, and this blog for parents’ and children’s wellbeing. I believe the best way to teach a child is leading by example, with love, honesty, integrity, compassion, perseverance, and personal responsibility. Learning these values and teaching children that all women and men are equal will encourage them to dream big to be anything they want to be!
An entrepreneur for over 35 years, I previously spent years running a construction and design company with two offices in California and built million-dollar estates and remodeled existing ones. For three and half years, I was one of the primary designers on HGTV’s Curb Appeal. I have also been published in books, magazines and newspapers, and have been a featured designer in multiple showcase houses.
