Around this time of year I love to bake, particularly really strong smelling Christmas type cookies. Something about cinnamon or gingerbread that makes cozy winter afternoons seem like the holidays. This year I came across a simple recipe that I just had to share with my readers. This snickerdoodle recipe makes the most soft and chewy cookies that smell just like Christmas morning. The kids and I are thinking of purchasing clear boxes and gifting them for friends, family and teachers complete with a big red ribbon – makes the…
Parents of school-aged kids, buckle up! It’s that time of year again and letters have been sent home to students all across the globe – yes, lice is on the prowl once again! Some schools have adopted no-nit policy requires students with any signs of lice to be sent home after a routine check up during class. Common-sense, yes…keeping the bugs from spreading onto our littles as much as possible. Some believe that this policy is ridiculous since lice lives on many surfaces so removing a single child wouldn’t do much…

However, there are plenty of parents (like myself) who prefer for their children to get a variety of fun alternatives on October 31st. With the rise of allergies and food sensitives it is important to take into consideration the children who cannot consume candy and chocolates alone as a treat come Halloween night. Aside from the allergens, there is also the over consumption of chocolate and candy that parents indulge in too – I see you late…
There are moments in one’s life whereby reflection is constant. One of these moments for me, was the 911 attacks on September 11th 2001. I can distinctly recall sitting in my typography class trying to focus on my teacher while my phone constantly vibrated beside me. I kept looking at it, glaring back at my teacher and then back again wondering why so many of my family members were calling me. Thinking the worst, I left class to return my mother’s phone-call and in a frantic all I can remember…
I was born in the 80’s, many would argue that I am not in fact an ’80’s’ kid because I was born in 1980 and didn’t full experience the era to the fullest but I do remember it well. I remember so many parts of my childhood and fashion from the late 80’s to early 90’s is something I personally don’t want to experience again. Neon clothing that made you look like some sort of pylon from afar, spandex bicycle shorts with just enough shine to show off those dimply…
It’s no secret that my children are very hands on learners, and what’s better is when they can make something themselves AND make a ton of noise doing it. That’s why when I was asked to review the Smartivity Mechanical Xylofun by PlaSmart I was thrilled at the chance. A summer project that involves getting the kids off of technology, engaging and working together was right up our alley. I don’t know who was more excited when the box arrived, but we all jumped at the chance to attempt what seemed…
