Do you ever feel like life is one balancing act and you keep teetering but have a hard time finding the middle ground?  It seems like in our house balancing school, homework, sports, scouts and family time gets harder and harder every year.  Even eating dinner together is challenging with kids that are in high school and some still very young. 

I’ve struggled with this as my boys have gotten older.  I’ve come to the conclusion that some days will just be wild and hairy and we’ll be lucky if we see each other at all.  But if I look for opportunities, I can find ways to keep us in the same room for a while!  Even cleaning the house, doing dishes, putting away laundry – as awful as that sounds – when we do it together, is more fun than flying solo and it gives me the chance to talk to the kids about school and “stuff.”  Lol.

Balancing everything is hard.  At Jeanne’s, we really appreciate you sharing your kids with us for a few hours a week!  We know how precious that time is and are grateful to be part of your lives.  We strive to help families maintain balance between school, dance and home because we feel it’s important in our own families too.

We’re excited for this year’s recital theme “Just Keep Dancing . . .” which was inspired by our favorite blue tang fish, Dory! 

Dory has a great wisdom for us all: believe in yourself, have faith in your friends, never give up.  We hope our theme “Just Keep Dancing . . .” will inspire those same qualities in all of our dancers this year. 

What do you LOVE about dancing? 

How does dancing inspire you to be a better person?

I’ll be honest, Halloween is not my favorite.  My kids get hyped up on sugary everything, I eat all the leftovers and regret it later and then there’s the constant decision making about costumes.  It was so much easier when they were all little and I dressed them up however I wanted and we were done by 8:30 or 9:00 pm!  But, I’ve given up fighting and tried to embrace the fun (and throw away or donate the candy!)

If you’re like me, and are looking for an easy way to prep for Halloween, check out our lobby all month long.  We’ve reached into our trove of costume treasures and pulled out some great pieces for Halloween, holiday gifts or dress up fun!  Every costume is brand new and a bargain. 

So let us make your life a little easier this month.  We can’t do anything about the unavoidable sugar rush but we can help with costumes!
