Once upon a time, pre-kids, my husband and I went to Hawaii.  We loved everything about it - the food, the culture, the scenary - except of course the 15 hour flight to get there.  While I’d love to share that experience with my children, the flight alone is likely to put it out of [...]

Any parent or grandparent of preschool-aged child knows about Bob, Barney, and Thomas. I have to admit that with Thomas and Bob, my family has become a little too involved in getting the boys as much Thomas and Bob toys as possible…resulting in incredible amounts of trains, tracks, earth movers, and tools. However, new DVDS [...]

From the moment I brought my daughter home from the hospital, I was worried about her care.  It seemed hard to believe that just one newborn care class prepared me for caring for another life.  When it came time for my husband and me to leave our daughter with a caregiver, I insisted that it [...]

In my former non-mommy life, I used to work with kids with developmental disabilities. I loved the work but, found some of my most challenging goals involved teaching kids social skills.

There isn’t much in life as exciting as our own history. Of course, there is definitely room for fiction. I’ve always enjoyed reading books and watching movies and documentaries about our history, as does my husband. We’d love for our children to love it as much.
