The Little Tikes Cupcake Kitchen is a whole lot of sweetness in a compact package. With the smaller profile of this kitchen, it can easily be slipped into any sized room for hours of pretend play. The muted colors suit our living room far better than our former play kitchen (which now lives in the Continue Reading …
Moon Dough Ocean Pals are cute, fun, and, to my (pleasant) surprise, not super messy. Moon Dough has a reputation for being tons of fun and also…tons of mess.

My 4 year old attends a Peer Model Preschool Program at our local elementary school. One of the things I love the most about this program is that all of the children are treated equally, and the special needs of the children are incorporated into the entire classroom. Some of the children have sensory issues, Continue Reading …

Summer is full of so many things to do outside when the weather cooperates- but for those days when the weather doesn’t cooperate and we do have to be inside, crafts and games have been the first things I turn to. My kids will all three of them sit at the table and color, glue, use stickers, Continue Reading …

They love having adventures, and the older they get, the more they want to have their own adventures without mom and dad “interrupting” (interfering) and putting Continue Reading …
