Happy Baby Video Contest and other news...

So we buy a good chunk of Cass' "quick eats" from a brand called Happy Baby. Fun snacks and quick dinners that are organic and have ingredients you can read and recognize make for easy days when Matt and I are both too tired to cook :-)

Anyway, the company is having a contest on FB and you post a video of your baby being happy and then get your friends and fam to vote for the video. You don't have to sign up for anything, and it is quite fun to look at other videos. Some are funny, some are not!

The video we posted is of Cass getting ready to eat salmon sticks- the fish stick's newer improved brother from happy baby. It's called Happy Eater. Sorry- I don't mean to sound like an ad!
Feel free to check it out and go to their FB page to vote! Or feel free to check it out for fun :)

In other news, Cassidy will be 2 this May 13th. It's a Friday, so it is a lucky day now! Cass loves to sing Old McDonald, Where is Thumbkin, Row Row Row Your Boat, ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and If You're Happy and You Know It. She can count to 13 in English and Spanish. She is a big help around the house, putting her toys and shoes away. She knows almost all of her colors and shapes. And thanks to her favorite cartoon Go Diego, she knows way more animals than I did when I was little. If you talk to her on the phone don't be surprised to hear her tell you a story interspersed with the words puma, puppy, walrus, and peacock. Sometimes she forgets the first part of that last animal; earning us disturbed looks from others in line at the grocery store.

The pics above are from Valentine's Day. One of Cass' hand me down toys is a steering wheel that has a horn, key and ignition and a cell phone. It's cute, not too loud, and probably irresponsible in its promotion of talking and driving. I'm not going to be the one to take it away from her though...

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!

NASPA @ NOLA 2025

I am very excited to get to serve on the annual conference team for NASPA 26 in KC! As part of the planning team, we have several onsite meetings. One is at this year's conference to be in transition with this year's team. Several of my staff members were able to attend the conference as well. Below are some photos with friends and colleagues who I was so happy to reconnect with!  The rest are notes I took from a few sessions. I as going to delete them, then thought, y'all might be interested in some of the random things always on my mind and in process. Take a peek! Also, NASPA stands for National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. While there opportunities all year long to engage with different groups and regions, in person and online, the annual conference is the premier event where you can learn and hang out with over 6,500 of your peers in higher ed work!  Notes: The balance of crisis management and change management is ongoing. Rest is essential. Decisio...
