Tell Your Friends About Romp n’ Roll!

This little gal is all about art, so the studio at CMor Central is right up her alley.

Our kids have had a packed schedule this summer between swim team and swimming in general, playing with friends in the neighborhood, and a few weekend trips here and there.

I figured that in August our six year-old especially would be getting antsy so I registered her early for the Romp n’ Roll camp at CMoR. She attended last week and we were not disappointed!

Thought I’d share a bit of it with you (in bite-sized bullets for those of us mamas-on-the-move) should you need inspiration for what can tend to be long, hot (and to kids) booooooring days of summer:

-This camp’s for 2-6 year olds, M-W-F 9am-12pm. For us, that was the perfect amount of time for her to have special time away from her big brothers but not get

A little freeplay before camp started in the morning allowed my little wiggler to explore before structured time.

too wiped out from being in an all-day camp.

-The price is rocking-$100 when we registered early, $120 now. Includes camp t-shirt and daily snack.

-Variety is the ingredient that makes this one a winner for our little lover-of-all-things. Movement to music, free play, and art (her favorite) created a nicely-packaged experience.

-There’s a cool theme every week. We chose Knights, Princesses and Dragons because our little diva is pretty-well convinced that she is a princess, and who are we to discourage her? Kind of cool to be able to choose a theme based on your kiddos’ interests. The last week–next week–is 3-2-1 Blast Off!

Our little princess made a crown with items representing each member of our family–loved that.

-It’s locally-owned and run. We love supporting locally-owned businesses and the Romp n’ Roll franchises run by Glen Allen residents Michael and Babz Barnett not only offers great programs, they do great things in the community like hosting book drives and supporting non-profits.

-The smiles rock. Our little gal, upon presenting her finished artwork for the week, said “Mama I had so much fun, why did you only sign me up for one week?!” I didn’t have the heart to tell her that summer was almost over and we had to squeeze stuff like getting school clothes, haircuts and other school-prep chores and just couldn’t cram more fun in the way we wanted to this summer. We’ll try to catch an open gym, always a welcome break from sweltering Richmond heat.

Here’s hoping you can squeeze every last little bit of fun out of summer with your families.

I love the John Lennon story about how one day in school he was told to write what he wanted to be when he grew up.  He wrote “Happy.”  He was told that he didn’t understand the assignment.  He responded, “You don’t understand life.”

This can be something of a cautionary tale for parents. So often we are too specific in setting goals for our children.  We want them to get good grades and high test scores, we want them to be named all-stars and win championships, we want them to enter professions with lucrative salaries and substantial benefits.  But is that what life is really all about?

Isn’t it enough to want our children to enjoy pursuing whatever their passions may be?  After all, there is no guarantee that anything specific will “give” someone happiness.  Happiness is something one must “find” on one’s own.

While none of us want to even think about the loss of a loved one, many people live each day wondering if it is their loved ones’ last as they wait for an organ donor.

Stories of those who have donated organs to save lives demonstrates the incredible courage and selflessness of thousands of people – but donors are needed every day. A story on Richmondmom.com about Paul Harris, who’s life was cut way too short, is an example of how organ donation touches many lives – with a ripple effect that spans generations. Organ donation is an incredible gift to individuals and to the world – allowing people to live longer and make a difference in the community and the world.

This year’s 2013 Richmondmom.com Real Cute Kids contest is proud to recognize UNOS as the recipient of a financial donation for each child entered into our contest. It’s one way that we can help further the critical need for organ donation. We encourage you to enter our Real Cute Kids contest to help us increase the financial donation available to UNOS. The Real Cute Kids contest is sponsored by the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU, Romp n’ Roll, and Real Life Studios.

About UNOS

United Network for Organ Sharing is a national nonprofit based in downtown Richmond which runs the nation’s transplant system matching lifesaving organs from deceased donors to those on the national waiting list.  This matching process happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  78 lifesaving transplants take place each day in this country thanks to the matching work being done by UNOS.

One organ donor can save 8 lives. There are six (6) lifesaving organs:

1. heart
2. lung
3. liver
4. kidneys
5. pancreas
6. intestine

In addition to organ donation, UNOS also has many needs for eye and tissue donation.

Currently more than 115,000 men, women and children are awaiting organ transplants to save their lives. Thousands more are in need of tissue and cornea transplants to restore their mobility and sight.

Visit the website for information about the National Donor Memorial in downtown Richmond which honors organ, eye and tissue donors across the country. And take that critical step to become an organ, eye, and tissue donor by clicking here to provide hope.

Register for the Real Cute Kids contest and we’ll make a financial donation to UNOS to thank you! Thanks to our contest sponsors for making this possible.
