Earth Day Photo Contest #ActsofGreen Win an Eco-Friendly Best Western Hotel Vacation

Giveaway

Photo Contest Details Below 

As a Baby Boomer, I fondly remember lodging at many a Best Western motel across America each summer on family roadtrips. Now, with four children of my own, I've passed that passion on to my kids and hubby. The multiple generations of images in this post -- me as a kid and of my own children -- tell the whole story.

Mom, me & siblings, Yellowstone Circa 1960, MommyBlogExpert.com

To help make the world a better place we also try and lead as green a lifestyle as we possibly can both at home recycling and tending an organic garden and when we travel and spend lots of times with summer outdoor activities like huckleberry picking. That's not even to mention that I'm an avid supporter of the National Park System. So, when I heard of this contest that was just announced combining roadtripping, eco living, and National Park appreciation, I just had to share it with like-minded MBE readers.

Me & 3 of my own kids, Yellowstone Circa 2010, MommyBlogExpert.com

To celebrate living greener the Earth Day Network and Best Western International are hosting a photo contest that I've already entered myself. You should enter too because the winner gets to choose a vacation trip from among some wonderful destinations. Among the prize choices are: the Red Rocks of Sedona Arizona, Rocky Mountain National Park, Napa Valley wine country, Bryce Canyon National Park, Victoria British Columbia, the New Orleans Latin Quarter and others.

Public vs Private School Options - The Debate Goes On for Parents Struggling to Educate Our Kids

Parenting

CNN Parenting Story published today featuring interview with Janis Brett Elspas

How do you feel about educating your children K-12? Do you sense that others project favorable or negative judgements upon you depending on whether you choose a public, private, charter or homeschool option for your child? For sure, as a mom of four born within a year who are all now teenagers (including triplets) I've lost a lot of sleep mulling the issues over about the best thing to do. In fact at various points in my own family's upbringing all of my kids have experienced various combinations of public, private and homeschool educations.

Me w/ hubby and our 4 teens, MommyBlogExpert.com

Based on all my carpool chats with other moms over the years, I'm not alone in how much thoughts of properly educating a child can plague a parent. I'd even go so far as to say that there are probably few moms or dads who haven't struggled at one time or another with that difficult quandry. And -- gasp -- I've got a feeling I have plenty of company when it comes to enduring the social consequences and drama within the household and among family, friends and community that often result from not doing what the Jones family next door is doing. Simply put, when it comes to how to school (or unschool) your child there are so many different opinions and ways to go about it. One size does not fit all.

We parents are in this boat together. So, I think you'll appreciate this balanced story by mom and CNN Parents correspondent Kelly Wallace published today on CNN.com. 

Public vs. Private School: What's With All The Judging?  features interviews and a wide range of thoughts, pros and cons on the topic by Academy Award Winning screenwriter (Goodwill Hunting), actor and real-life dad Matt Damon, along with mom bloggers such as me here at MommyBlogExpert; my friends Leila Davidson and Rebecca Levy; and several other parent bloggers who contributed their insights to this story.

As one parent to another, I encourage you to take a look at Kelly's well-written and thought-provoking piece. I know this is definitely a story I want to forward to all my own friends and family with kids because educating the next generation is so important. 

Please Leave a Comment
I'd also love for you to share your thoughts on this often volatile conversation here on MBE by leaving a comment below. I look forward to engaging with you and discussing the public vs. private school issues some more.
