The "Bear" Necessities

Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, Creative Director of Mama Bear Productions here. Thought I'd share something I've just recently discovered and found incredibly and immediately helpful! A couple of months ago I sent an email to a friend saying that for the first time since I started writing I've been blessed with writer's block - oh yea. I explained to her that this seems like a weird block in that I've got some GREAT ideas and even parts of songs and stories but I don't seem to be able to develop them which is making me NUTS!

Hi there, Nancy Carey Johnson, Creative Director of Mama Bear Productions here. I know I've said this before, but some times things bear repeating! I am aware that some of you have concluded (due to Jolene's beautiful artwork) that Mama Bear Productions is only for littler children and their families. NOT so. "Family Centered " doesn't mean just for little ones, because as far as we know there are children of all ages in families and said children have all kinds of diverse interests.

For the record, as I was having breakfast with my family and half listening to their discussion, something they said made me think of the old Hardy Boys series, which all of my boys enjoyed. To my knowledge there aren't any more modern adventure series for boys, especially where characters aren't "cool dudes" rather they are just plain, adventurous boys!

Family traditions are important. (Yes, I know. You've heard that one before...) Well, what's stopping you? A great way to include the kids in family decision making is setting up your very own family rituals. The funner the better. You can do the usual board game night - we like that one at my house. My guess is it wouldn't take too much to think of a truely unique togetherness experience.
