Snowflakes for Newtown

As many of you know, the children from Sandy Hook Elementary are returning to school today. The town of Newton has decorated the refurbished building they are using with millions of paper snowflakes created by children all over the world and sent in, at the request of the Sandy Hook PTA — who wanted to show students that no two snowflakes, just like kids, are alike. They were awed and overwhelmed by the number of snowflakes received, and have since asked that no more be sent.

The kind folks at Baltimore’s own KneeBouncers created a way for kids everywhere to send snowflakes and love to Newtown — virtually!

Head over to Snowflakes for Newtown to select your snowflake and send a message of love and peace.

Heather is editor-in-chief of (cool) progeny. When not scouting the best in everything kid and family, you'll probably find her running The Weisse Group or adventuring around town with her daughter (the Bug) and husband. Can be won over with a good glass of wine or something homemade. Addicted to Pinterest. Only pretends to know what she's doing with her SLR, even though she's got a fantastic lens on it. Thankful it does most of the work for her.

we are modern family

Who, us? We’re putting (cool) back in to the crazy, upside down world of modern parenting. All about raising fun, fashionable, active little thinkers with a strong cuppa coffee on the side.

Takes the Cake. You may know Mary Alice from her reality tv days or from her work at Charm City Cakes, but around this little slice of internet, we adore her for her wit. We love a mom with the two must-have senses for parenthood: common sense and a sense of humor.
