Reading Tips for Summer Reading
Although I seem to spend more time reading a screen than I do a book, reading for me is a given. How would I function if I could not read? In our family, reading happens everywhere…except the bathroom. I am not a book-in-the-bathroom person. Ewww. We have bookcases in every room except the bathroom. It’s summer... »
Googly Bands Are in the House and a Twitter Party!
Spring is a time when kids go wild. Some children have a hard time sitting still in circle time at school. Homework is the last thing on many children’s list of things to do. Summer seems like it is around the corner, and yet June seems soooo far away. Our house had Spring Fever badly... »
Bing Helps Teachers Help Kids (A Review)
Education is important in our house. While it is true that my parents were quite hands off about my education, I picked up the education vibe from their actions. My father left school at 16 to become a draftsman. After working and going to school at night for 7 years, he received his bachelor’s... »

What Is Appropriate for Little Girls?
As a mom, I have the final say on my my girls wear. Period. I let the tween and teen have some say on their clothes, but the bucks stops with me. My tween and teen can choose their own clothes each day for school and weekend wear. Both know that they have to abide... »

I learned grammar rules and prepositions and a host of other facts from watching the Schoolhouse Rock shows. You know I think Schoolhouse Rock was shown... »
Your Kid Will Be a Happy Camper at KinderCare!
As a new mom, I never considered using a babysitter or day care or summer camp for my child. I was blissfully ignorant of how hard it is to work from home AND care for children. I enrolled my daughter in preschool when she was 2. The program was 3.5 hours long twice a week.... »
Oooey Gooey What Is Not To Love about Pillsbury Orange Sweet Rolls?
When my second child was born, I was prepared. Oh I forgot plenty once the baby arrived, but I knew what I needed to do after going through the hazing of having a baby and going back to work after 3 weeks! With Baby #2, I got everything done before the baby was born. Nursery... »
Easy, Peasy Ideas for a 3/4-Year-Old’s Birthday Party
3 – 4 years is a great age. Girls of that age love any kind of craft. Pick a craft that does not require glue as kids have a hard time squeezing bottle, plus will be upset when crafts don’t stick together. Avoid Oriental trading-type crafts as they are too complicated. Craft... »
Kneebouncers.com — I Want to Play!!!
When my girls were toddlers and “itty bitty ones” there were no games available for them to play. Oh, you could buy CD-ROMs “for Toddlers” but the games were not easy to use. The games required use of a mouse AND good hand eye coordination. If you have been around a baby or a toddler for... »
