Eco-Friendly Wooden Toys from Plan Toys
Published on Thursday, March 25, 2010 by caryn When I think about wooden toys, I think about a different time. A time where we had less video games and Sesame Street was the only "real" children's television show. I like the durability and open-endedness of wooden toys. It's this imaginative play that fosters development in children. Plan Toys "[creates] toys that inspire children's imagination [and] prom... Read More » -

My Breastfeeding Essentials
Published on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 by caryn After my daughter and I have stopped nursing, I will have spent over 2 years of my life breastfeeding. The relationship and bond that develop as a result of breastfeeding is indescribable. Some of the sweetest moments are at 2 or 3 am when our daughter, who's nestled against me starts to stir.

The Looking Book
Published on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 by caryn In an era of the Wii, the Netbook, and Blu-Ray, I'm already noticing my son's preference towards these types of entertainment. And several weeks ago, I heard about a computer program designed for children ages 1-6. My first thought was, what could a one year old possibly get out of something like this? This is the type of content parents have to contend with on ... Read More » -

Coffee on the Cheap!
Published on Monday, March 22, 2010 by caryn Up until about a month ago, I spent a pretty penny on fancy lattes and mochas. I couldn't go more than a couple of days without my frou frou coffee drinks. Thanks to my daughter, I've recently curbed by coffee habit because of her spitting up and reflux. But one day...one day soon...I'll get my morning cup of joe! While my husband prefers freshly ground coffe... Read More » -

Glove Up to Prevent the Spread of Germs
Published on Monday, March 22, 2010 by caryn This has been the worst year for illness in our household. I've been vigilant about handwashing and hand gels when we don't have access to soap and water.

Lovely Lisa & Friends on DS/DSi
Published on Friday, March 19, 2010 by caryn When I was a little girl, my parents bought me the very first Nintendo Entertainment System. The only games I remember playing were Zelda and all of the Super Mario Brothers titles. Gaming is quite a different experience today. Video games do more than entertain. They educate, role model, and encourage children to be creative. Many of the games available today... Read More » -
