Walk in the Park
April 10, 2012
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: It’s all too easy for us, as adults, to forget that every little thing is a source of discovery and wonder for a toddler. Even something as simple as a walk in the park can be as interesting and fun as an expensive trip to a … More Walk in the Park
Play Dough!
April 3, 2012
What can I say? It’s a classic. There are a million different play dough recipes out there. (There’s even a whole site dedicated to that fact.) But don’t let that dissuade you from giving any old recipe a try. Otherwise, if you’re like me, you’ll spend so much time researching “the best” that you’ll get bored … More Play Dough!

Might as well let the baby be itself in untero.” Plus, I’ve … More Girls’ Toys: Oh, the Horror
Preschool?

What’s the deal with preschool? I’m not setting up a joke. I really want to know.
Play Kitchen

Your toddler doesn’t need an expensive play kitchen to “play kitchen.”
Children’s Books About Death
March 5, 2012
Okay, I admit. This is kind of a weighty thing to throw out there. But as I’ve mentioned before, I’m working on a book for kids who won’t have a chance to personally know an integral family member who’s died. It’s an issue that, sadly, will affect a lot of kids (my daughter included). Yet children’s … More Children’s Books About Death
Grumpus Soup
March 2, 2012
We conjured up this super easy (and healthy) recipe the other night when Szaba was possessed by The Grumpus Monster. It magically transformed her back into our babbling bundle of joy. It doesn’t seem fair to keep this power all to ourselves, so…
