Such an Important Part of Our Lives

By / 4 minutes of reading

This blog post is by Mary Cook from Charlotte, NC, and is part of our Making a Difference series. I can’t imagine life without Baby Signing Time, and now Signing Time, for my daughter, Alaina, who is nineteen months. It is such an important part of our lives together and I can’t think of a single facet of her life that does not involve signing. Before Alaina was born I didn’t know any sign language with the exception of a few letters I learned as a child. I thought it was fascinating to watch babies sign and knew this was …

Can’t Wait to Take the Next Class!

By / 2 minutes of reading

Written by Darla D., PA   I don’t know what parents of toddlers did before signing with babies became the trend.  We signed a few basics with my first (now 4 years old), but with my second, we started taking classes with Melissa Mons in Ardmore, PA.  At first I thought, “Really, a class for a one-year old?  This will be a waste of time, for sure.”  But Melissa was great, and my little Lambchop loved everything about it.  We picked up the pack of CDs, DVDs and cards for home, and both of my little ones loved them.  We …

Making a Difference – Our Adoption Journey

By / 2 minutes of reading

Dear Signing Time Friends, Our family sincerely thanks you for what you have done for us. Your DVDs, board books, and flashcards have been such a blessing in our lives. For six years we tried to adopt from overseas. During that time, we lost three children we were supposed to bring home and were on a major emotional roller coaster. We already have five biological children. When people ask us why we wanted to adopt, the answer is simple.  There are so many children who need a home and love and want to give back, but do not have a …

Signing Time LIVE in Minnesota!

By / 3 minutes of reading

I can’t believe that I was crazy enough to put together another Signing Time Foundation benefit concert. Last year I pulled it together in just one month. That’s right, one month. This time, I thought it would be a breeze.  I was confident that with an entire year, everything would fall into place easily. Not true! Due to… well, life, I was unable to pull together a committee. This meant that with one month left before the event, it was me, my husband and the ever-capable Carrissa from the Foundation who organized this year’s amazing concert. The day before the …
