I wrote earlier about our ventures into sensory play. We did get the 5 lb bag of dry pinto beans, and colored some rainbow rice — and both have provided lots of feel-good playtime. I’m not sure who had more fun making the rainbow rice — my daughter or me (there’s something very satisfying about […]

I’m always on the lookout for new and improved kids’ food and drink containers — which of course includes lunchboxes. I love the concept of these new Yubo Lunchboxes. They’re BPA-free, and they come apart into pieces that you can pop into the dishwasher. You can customize them by picking your faceplates, which is good […]

My friend Sara is compared to Martha on a regular basis — the cooking, the sewing, the decorating… you name it. She can either do it, or she’ll figure out how to do it. One day last year, she brought her watermelon sorbet as the preschool snack — probably with some delicious homemade muffins — […]

Don’t you love getting a hot tip? I do. And I have one to share! I was chatting with a friend at a birthday party this weekend and someone asked if she made the t-shirt her little guy was wearing — a black tee with a fabric initial on it. She was VERY excited to […]

If you’re looking for some activities to do with the kids once they’re out of school, you may be interested in some of the Family Programs offered at the Phoenix Zoo. During the month of May, the Zoo is offering special breakfasts where kids ages 2-5 with their caregivers can join “the girls” Indu, Reeba […]

I am noticing lately how much my daughter enjoys “sensory play”. She goes right for the bins of rice or beans at preschool to run her hands through them, sometimes digging out buried treasures – but mostly just enjoying the feeling.
