Kids' Fantasy Weather Fairy Tale Book Series is Fantastic 2008-10-18 15:07:00 There are so many different books to choose from these days when you are looking for something for your kids to read. When you have little ones, like I do, the choices are crazy and overwhelming. I have always gravitated towards the classics which I will talk about another time, but I always have my eyes open for other ideas.

Myepets.com looks a lot like Webkinz 2008-10-17 21:58:00 So my little girl brought home a plush toy the other day. It was really cute. I'm pretty sure it is a cow and of course you like her right away. The toy on its own would have been great but it turns out it is part of a virtual world game. The cow is indeed a toy on its own but it also brings with it a secrect code that gets you in to begin playing on a website. Sound familiar?Webkinz has a si
Kids New Dietary Recommendation and Vitamin D 2008-10-17 12:14:00 When it comes to kids' dietary recommendations, you can't be too careful. One thing is for certain, there is a great deal of information out there. Another thing to keep in mind is that every kid is unique. All parents will attest to that. As such, all health information should be checked out with a family doctor because every kid's health is a little different than the next.When it comes to c Read more:Recommendation

Chief amongst those concerns is what she eats during the day.

Madagascar 2 Kids Favorite 2008-11-09 09:59:00 Well tomorrow we are going to be off to see Madagascar
2, Escape Africa. I am looking forward to it. The first Madagascar movie was great. The kids really enjoyed it.

We really like Chris Rock and Read more:Favorite

She was given a list of words that were going to be on the test about a week in advance and was told to come home and practice.

We will find out for sure on Monday.She remembered most of the words she had to spell and could tell us how to spell Read more:Adventures

Kids and Their Candy 2008-11-06 07:17:00 Thankfully I have accepted the fact that my amazing little girl is not a big candy eater. After a hugely successful haul this Halloween, I realize that she was really just amassing a collection for me.It would seem there are a few types of candy she likes. She enjoys the chewy sour lemon things and occasionally will ask for the chocolate chip cake concoction. What I'm getting at is that I don't Read more:Candy
My Little Girl Loves MyePets 2008-11-05 09:05:00 Every once and a while I will continue to share those trends that grab my little girl. As it turns out, Myepets is one of those trends that holds onto my little girl and won't let go.Sure, she is like a lot of other kids in that she can be distracted off to do other things. The amazing thing is how she is drawn into this game once she begins. It doesn't really seem to be about anything. I sup

Fun Riddles For Kids 2008-11-01 15:36:00 When thinking about what I used to consider fun riddles for kids, I remember stuff like the Billy Goat Gruff. That was always a fun riddle type situation. Fun riddles for kids were available from places like Sesame Street, The Electric Company and H&R Puff n Stuff. That last show was a real fun riddle for kids. The big question with that show was figuring out what the writers were on.Types
Kids Treasure Hunt Clues 2008-11-01 14:55:00 We are in the process of planning a kids treasure hunt. The most challenging part of putting together the kids treasure hunt is coming up with good clues. The kids treasure hunt clues have to be clever enough so that the kids have to think about it, but at the same time you don’t want the clues to be so difficult that the kids are just wandering around frustrated all afternoon. This is our ki Read more:Treasure
Halloween Huge Success 2008-10-31 21:15:00 Just wanted to check in to say this Halloween
was great! The little monster, or more accurately, the little unicorn had the best time.She ran around from house to house in a great neighbourhood and must have brought back five pounds of goodies. I noticed that people seemed to have gotten very generous with the treats because she was getting handfuls of stuff from folks. We had to keep emptying Read more:Success
Halloween and The Running of The Kids 2008-10-30 09:13:00 Tomorrow is Halloween
and the kids are all getting ready. My little one is going to be going out as a unicorn which should make for some fun photographic moments. She does just so happen to make the cutest unicorn ever. I'm not just saying that because I am her parent, I have checked the catalogue of unicorns, both historical and fictional, and she without a doubt is the cutest.At first we were th
Kids Alergies and Peanut Butter 2008-10-29 15:27:00 If there is one thing I am incredibly grateful for when it comes to my kid, it is that she is not allergic to anything. I know there are a ton of other things that I could be grateful for with her, and don't get me wrong, I am very grateful. However, it is alarming the rate at which kids are diagnosed with allergies every year.Apparently the numbers are quite significant. Nearly three million kids Read more:Butter

Kids Eyes Are Critical For Learning 2008-10-29 15:10:00 Here is a little something that I just found out about and it is information that no parent should be without. With the school season well under way it has been conceded that something like eighty percent of what kids learn about is vision related. That is, they absorb the information visually. However, nearly two thirds of those kids entering school, particularly primary are not being tested f Read more:Learning
Kids Toys This Holiday Seaon: Be Careful 2008-10-28 10:04:00 It is absolutely amazing how big business continues to shun the welfare of consumers regardless of how old they are.How would you feel if I told you that somebody was making things that they knew could cause serious harm to your kids AND those things were made specially for your kids? I bet you'd feel pretty crappy. No, I bet you'd feel pretty angry. You should feel pretty angry because it gets Read more:Careful

Things to do with Kids: Feed Giraffes 2008-10-28 08:34:00 So we headed off to this zoo that we discovered about four months ago. My little girl loves the place. It is considerably different from the zoo we normally took her to. For one, it is further away and we end up making a day of it and grabbing a hotel room. It's close to the falls so it's near a fun touristy area. Is there such a word as touristy?Anyway, what makes this zoo different is the i
Kids Love To Play Games 2008-10-27 15:51:00 My little girl loves playing games. She has all kinds of different ones. One of her amazing talents is her ability to take a game like Operation for example, and turn it into a completely different game. A kid's ability to entertain themselves and create stuff out of thin air never ceases to amaze me. I wonder what happens as time goes by that we don't do that as often.Anyway she recently foun Read more:Games
Kids Don't Need Parents' Economic Fear 2008-10-27 15:29:00 Despite the fact that times are tough, we are far from the next great depression. News outlets and political pundits like to use that kind of language because it sells newspapers and air time. There is no question that it is a time to be careful but even more so, it is important to be smart, especially when discussing fiscal matters with your kids.Not to long ago I was at a friend's house and hi Read more:Economic

Kids Love To Learn About History and Family 2008-10-26 12:05:00 This weekend my little girl came home from visiting with her aunt out of town. She had a good time and got to meet some family that she didn't know about. We always tend to find family that we didn't know about. Don't ask me how we do it. I would hate to see what would happen if we ever won the lottery.She joined me in the den and explained that she had a take home project to work on with us. Us b Read more:Family

Back during the great depression around 1934, a couple young boys were caught shoplifting in a Los Angeles County. The were taking small toys and parts in order to build their own toys.The boys and their parents were brought in to the local authorities where it was discovered those boys were making really good grades by their parents jus Read more:Children
