As we barrel toward the holidays, it is easy for me to think “we have too many toys!” and my boys just don’t need a thing. Other times, we visit friends for playdates and I think the opposite. Maybe my sons have all the wrong toys. Ugh.

Plan Toys are exactly the toys I want my kids to like. They are attractively designed, eco-friendly wooden toys without a licensed character in sight. I believe they allow for kid-powered creativity like role play and open-ended preschooler inventiveness like pretending the little crazy-haired ...

We were already fans of the Wii for new parents long before we heard of Wii Fit. But now, geeking out with video games and trying to be fit shredheads with Jillian are two great tastes that taste great together. Thanks to Sports Authority, we’re giving away one Wii Fit Plus Board and ...

With the economy totally sucking, we’ve modified our babysitter retainer model slightly and are trying to have a few more date nights at home. If you thought it was totally unrealistic when I told you to put your kids to bed before 7pm and have a date-night , I feel you.
Here are six ...

This is a compensated review from BlogHer and LEGO® DUPLO®
My daughter is abusing the word “because”. She has become a master of the run-on sentence, linking together every thought that comes into her brain, often in a circular logic fashion, with the word “because”.
She is two years ...

We had a board book that I didn’t like too much. The illustrations were too wishy washy and there were too many words. We also had a board book that I loved, by Todd Parr, called This is My Hair . Bold illustrations and simple text. Plus funny. I decided I wanted the first book to be ...

A post from Designing Moms crossed my path just as I was realizing that I need a zipper pouch in my purse to contain all the loose pieces I keep for emergency kid entertainment. Plastic spiders, packaged snack bars, and tiny cars are forever preventing me from locating my keys quickly when I ...

Call me sentimental, but I am a fan of tiny baby feet on little coasters, mugs, and tiles. When Holden was 6 weeks old, we dragged him to a paint-your-own-pottery place to stamp his tootsies on trivets (the cheapest pottery they sold) and I already felt that I had missed his “newborn ...

Continue to try on all the new outfits you got as gifts, no matter how silly you think they are, and photograph him in the clothes before he outgrows them.

If you have two kids within four years of age, it’s likely that you’ll find yourself strolling the younger one while the older one walks. May we recommend a little trick?
Attach something to the stroller for your older child to hold onto , so that she feels included and so ...

This morning at preschool drop-off, I was helping Milo to remove his jacket (while providing him the illusion he was doing it “all by self!”) and a teacher (let’s call her Jill) noticed we have the same color hair.
Jill said, “I guess that’s proof that you ...

Julian had one friend sleep over for his fifth birthday this year. The child’s family came over for a pizza and salad dinner, and guess what? That’s eight people around our table. Eight is enough, right?
I was so in love with some of the other birthday parties I saw on the ...

If you think there’s a chance you can be mistaken for a non-parent who can Work Hard and Play Hard just like any other twenty-something-single dude, then, by all means, don’t read this book.
If, however, you are struggling along (like the rest of us) to find some BALANCE ...

An umbrella is a terrific gift for a preschooler. My toddler loves to hold her own kid-sized umbrella, and it gives us something to do on a rainy day – go outside and stand there with an umbrella over our heads.
I saw this rainbow umbrella for kids in a Museum catalog and thought it ...
