Kids Activities: Adventures After Dark

  My kids always have a hard time adjusting to summer. Actually, that’s not true. They love summer. They love swimming and hiking and reading and doing kids activities (and playing video games. I won’t lie to you.) They have a hard time, however, understanding why their mother would possibly attempt to put them to bed when […]

Fun, Crafty Activities My Kids Are Loving

I’ve been sharing some fun, crafty things over at BabyCenter lately — come check ’em out! Roller painting was a huge hit!

Cooking with Kids – Making Musubi

Although we’re mostly a road-trip family, we took the vacation of a lifetime a few years earlier and went to Hawaii with my family. It was magical. And while my kids came back with a love for palm trees and surfing, they also came back with a new appreciation for musubi. You can pick it […]

12 Fall Books for Kids

Fall might be my favorite season for kids’ books. There’s so much to read about! There are animals getting ready to hibernate. There are different colored leaves to investigate and learn about. There are apples and pumpkins. There are holidays (and reading about holidays with kids is just about the best thing ever). Now that […]
