You probably aren’t ruining your kid: A closer look at the vestibular system.

Recently, a friend sent me an article about "Why Children Won't Listen" and asked for my thoughts. During my first quick skim of the article (at 1am), I thought the author made some great points about how the proprioceptive and vestibular senses affect attention. Then I read it again, and...

Tiny Tot Tuesday: Easter Egg Craft!

Welcome to what's probably my favorite category of posts. The heart and soul of why I wanted to write this blog. . . To share simple ideas that families can try at home. I like to keep it easy and affordable. First off, I need to confess something to you...

Why you won’t make me feel guilty for vaccinating my children. . .

Last week, my son had a well-baby checkup. It was, thankfully, a totally boring, run of the mill appointment. After discussing a minor concern about a scaly patch on his toes (that turned out to be a result of sweaty, stinky boy feet), our sweet nurse returned with my boy's...

It’s an excavator!

Disclosure: We were given this toy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. My three (almost four!) year old is very particular about the terminology for the world around her. She will immediately correct me if I call her boots just plain ol' "shoes." It's not...

I like to keep most activities pretty simple, with minimal...

How to Feed a One Year Old Snack Monster.

I have a one year old snack monster at home. His favorite food is food. Anything you place in front of him will at least get a taste. I fear for our grocery budget once he reaches middle school. He knows where the food is located now and will open...

Easy Valentine’s Day Craft for Preschoolers!

I just love a good craft that uses items I already have at home! We keep a box full of construction paper, glue, and scissors ready for any crafting that strikes our fancy. But sometimes, I think outside that box a little bit. I am one of those people who...

Excuse me while I try to freeze time. . .

I signed Roo up for preschool today. I didn't think it would be that big of a deal until we were driving away and I realized that once she starts preschool, she's officially a big kid. I guess I just had it in my head that these little years would...
