Every Wednesday I will post a great book for you and your child to read together. There will often be a simple craft or project to go with it to further promote reading comprehension, vocabulary, and communication. Ten Tiny Tadpoles is a cute story with fun, three dimensional additions to each page: Click here to purchase. With every page turn, one of the tadpoles disappears. Aren't those the cutest tadpoles you've ever seen? When I was little I used to scour the pond in my neighborhood, knee deep in muck, catching tadpoles in an empty peanut butter jar my Mom would save for me. Yuck-o. I'd wait and wait and wait for weeks, checking the pond every day, to see if the tadpoles were ... read more
Weeknight Soup

To make the "ice cream": Slice a few ripe bananas into 1 inch pieces. Freeze them in a little ziplock bag until frozen but not rock ... read more
20 Unique Baby Gifts
Close your eyes and raise your hand if you've ever groaned at the thought of picking out a new baby, baby shower, or congratulations on expecting gift. No peaking. Ok, it's pretty safe to assume all hands are raised. Even I, lover of all things baby, fret and stress over what to get all these newborns, mothers to be, and even 1, 2, and 3 year old birthday tots. There's so much to chose from, and always the fear of getting a duplicate, too much of something, something unnecessary or, gasp, lame. I've put together a list of 25 unique items, different ideas, and personal favorites that hopefully help give you some great ideas for the next time you need to pick out gifts for the little ... read more
