Mask Parade - Some great indoor fun!
December 18, 2008
Last month, I scored a free copy of Mask Parade: Forest Animals by Stephanie Trelogan and featured the illustration and design talents of Katharine Armstrong. I must admit that I've had the book for a few weeks now and meant to write this review sooner, but I really wanted to see how it held the kids' interest and how it held up in a two-kid household.

October 15, 2008

Gardening with Kids in the Land of the Blazing Sun (aka How to cultivate the tiniest green thumb)

The best part of all of it was annoying her to death learning about what she was growing. I knew when I had kids, I wanted to pass this passion on. Unfortunately, I can kill a heartiest of houseplants in less then a month. I'm Read more...
