Parenting Resolutions for the New Year
January 06, 2009
Separating the wheat from the chaff. Refocusing our priorities. Seeing past the trees to the forest. Getting the big picture. All of these are great euphemisms that we hear from the boardrooms of America. When times are tight, we need to take a step back and examine the situation and get rid of the stuff that doesn't matter to make room and save energy for the stuff that does. It's Read more...
My best advice for spending the holidays with a toddler and a preschooler
December 19, 2008
I'll be on the air tomorrow at Las Vegas' ABC-affiliate ( KTNV-Channel 13 ) to give other Vegas parents some advice about spending the holidays with their littlest ones. In case you miss it, (or I forget to get my point across clearly), here are my top tips: Keep it simple, keep it short. Remember they have short attention spans. So day-long activities and 12-step crafts are probably too much Read more...
Best local gifts in Vegas

By now, you're probably finishing off the last bits of your holiday shopping. Your sled is likely full of more Start Wars action figures, Polly Pocket sets, and Crayola Creativty sets than any child could ever play with.

Get your tree on: Our Vegas Holiday tradition
December 02, 2008
Here in Vegas, I often hear parents claim that there are no real traditions for the holidays. Well, in my mind, traditions are merely habits with meaning. Traditions are what you make them.

Yes, you can get a pre-lit tree at just about any store these days. They Read more...
The Top Five Ways to Enjoy Red Rock Canyon
October 15, 2008
If you've lived in Las Vegas for any length of time, one of your first day trips was probably Red Rock Canyon . (No, it's not Red Rocks - that's just outside of Denver. Be fair warned, newbies, if you call our canyon that, people will look at you funny.) It used to feel a million miles away from town, but with our growth, development is now at the canyon's doorstep. The good news is that Read more...
The Littlest Picasso
October 14, 2008
Art is a great way to get your little one to express themselves. It's amazing to see how they use shapes and colors to express their thoughts and emotions long before they verbalize the complex feelings that brew below the surface. How do you let loose their inner Renior or Georgia O'Keefe? You don't have to wait until their old enough to see Steve Wynn's latest collection. It can be as Read more...

If you're looking to get your toddler (or preschooler) into motion, check out some of these top transportation tips: McCarran Airport One of the busiest airports in the country, McCarran International Airport handles nearly 4 million passengers each month.

Lions, tigers and bears, oh my! Child-appropriate wildlife in Sin City
September 25, 2008
Most folks think Vegas is strictly an adult destination. Well, there is some pretty interesting wildlife in this city, but if you're looking for some party animals of the more traditional furry, hairy, and scaly kind, then check out some of these hot spots. Exotic Pets Yes, this is a pet store. Believe it or not, they have more biodiversity in this shop than you'll find in some zoos. They're Read more...
