Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
Published on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 by caryn Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka as Dr. Seuss, has been iconic in transforming children's literature. The fact that only 50 words exist in Green Eggs and Ham demonstrates his brilliance. We introduced my three year old son to the books last year and he finds them silly and enjoyable.

I remember reading Dr. Seuss' series of books with my mom as a child (as probably most of you do too). Today I still read those same books to my children.

Memory Making With Hallmark
Published on Thursday, December 23, 2010 by caryn My husband and I grew up in two very different homes 2,000 miles away from each other.

So much has changed since that time when I still believed in Santa. Technology h... Read More » -

Published on Friday, December 17, 2010 by caryn My husband's techie side has officially rubbed off on me! This year, I've managed to purchase a DSLR, a Blu-ray player, as well as add to my collection of video games. I also have my eye on a certain tablet computer.

Published on Monday, June 28, 2010 by caryn Every Sunday, before church, my parents and I would read the Sunday paper...together...as a family (odd isn't it?).

Get Up and Move With Sid!
Published on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 by caryn At almost 3 years old, my son has outgrown many of the shows targeted towards preschoolers.

KidVentures
Published on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 by caryn Last week, I picked my son up from preschool and his teacher asked me when we visited New York City. I just looked at her puzzled. Apparently my son was talking about riding in a taxi in New York City. And then it dawned on me...he was talking about the book we've been reading. Earlier this year, Look Out World, Here I Come launched it's first product, the Ne... Read More » -
