We were ready to go. My daughter had her favorite skirt on, her tights with the flamingos on the knees and her glittery shirt. She was ready for preschool and so was I. “I don’t want to go.” My daughter stopped in her tracks and gazed at the ground. And with that, I knew we […]
How to Create Epic Lego Adventures without Buying Another Set Ever
Every time we walk into the store, it’s the same thing. “Can we look at the toys? Can I buy a LEGO set?” my son squeaks as he looks at me with his wide eyes. “No, not this time. You just bought one a couple weeks ago, remember?” At this point I should put this […]

A Simple Science Activity That Will Get Rid of the Monsters Under the Bed
I’ll be the first to admit that my four-year-old is not the poster child for a good sleeper. I’m not sure if it was the daily games of “you sleep, I sleep” she used to do with her papa in the middle of the day when she was a newborn, or if it’s the fact […]

Teach Kids About Super Big Emotions with Superheroes
His sister bumped into him. That’s how it started. Instead of getting a little grumpy and getting over it when she said sorry, my son spiraled into a complete meltdown.
