Summer Fun
In one hour I can officially say that all of my kids are finally on vacation. I think I started to hear a little bit- oh great what are we going to do now. Some of my friends asked me, what are you going to do to keep your kids busy all summer. This comment bothered me a little. We are so scheduled during the school year with school, homework, and activities, that it is good to have some downtime. Children today don’t always know how to entertain themselves. We have not helped them by always having something to do. Summer is a great time for them to learn this. And you know what, it is ok to be bored sometime. Kids and teens do not need constant entertaining.
When I told my son it’s time for him to think what he can do, he sat down More »

Where will you be this Saturday? We’ll be at Bayshore Safety Days.
We know summer time is here (even though the weather doesn’t show it) when the word around is safety – safety – safety. Summer time is full of activity and fun but the best way to ruin a fun activity is to get hurt. That is why we stress safety, especially during the summer time. Sun safety, bike safety, water safety, camping safety – you name it, we want you to be safe.
Because safety is on our minds and we hope on yours, we will be at Bayshore Safety Days

Do you have creativity in your house? Art contest.
We at Bayshore have been looking at a few walls and thinking “what should we do? They are so boring. ” We have an idea and that is where your children come in. We are having an ongoing art contest and asking our patients to help us decorate the walls in our clinic. We would like to display creative art of our patients.
See our website for “rules and regulations”, actually guidelines, and entry form. We love to see the kids drawings – they always make us smile, maybe they can make others smile too.

Be a Hero
I was watching an old repeat of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition this week. I love the show. I always end up crying at the end when the family sees their new home. Plus, Ty (the carpenter) is cute to look at. Anyway, the episode I watched involved a family whose daughter had a serious blood disorder. Her immune system was weak, and she required weekly blood transfusions to stay alive. It was intense to see what this family, and especially this little girl, had to endure to live. At the end of the show, the cast talked about blood donation, and how it can save a life. I completely agree. And hopefully, I can motivate one or two people to donate blood this next week. More »

Mom did know best
My family went out of town this last weekend, and while packing for the trip, I smiled at what I had laid out as “necessities” to pack. In my pile of mom-must-haves were a tube of antibiotic ointment, hydrocortisone 1% cream and A+D ointment. I also had the Tylenol, Motrin and benadryl bottles (all generics, thanks to the recent recall) ready to go. I thought of my mom, and how in some ways I have become her. She would have carried the same supplies – plus a large sampling of bandaids of all sizes. (At that moment, I remembered to pack the bandaids.) Medicine and parenting has definitely changed over the years, but some things hold fast. More »
