Here Comes Peter Cottontail
Published on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 by caryn There are times like today, when my son was watching a remastered version of Here Comes Peter Cottontail, that I feel just a bit old.

Published on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winners are Sue E, Shanna, Paula, Jenn, and Kevin E.

Baby Einstein World Music
Published on Monday, March 23, 2009 by caryn My son has been watching Baby Einstein DVDs since before he turned 1 (and he's definitely developing appropriately).

WordWorld’s New Season Starts Friday
Published on Thursday, February 12, 2009 by caryn Did you know that 30 million Americans are functionally illiterate? Sadly, if we don't intervene, these children will likely follow suit.
