June 09, 2009
Even though we have begun another Florida summer and even though we rally to take our children out into the heat on a regular basis, sometimes it’s just too hot to go outside.

Happy Inauguration Day! While parents go about their routines today, many of us will stop at noon to watch the swearing in of our 44th president.

January 14, 2009

December 10, 2008
My Christmas tree is up but it is not quite entirely decorated. Why is that, you ask? My 5 year old and 2 year old have been "decorating" with my unbreakable ornaments quite a bit already.

In fact, exposing your child to fantastic art can be an extraordinary learning experience. And did you know that we have over 40 museums in the Tampa Bay area ? Pick a day when there are not many crowds and set out for Read more...
Imagination: The Really Big Art Show
June 16, 2008
My children recently put on The Really Big Art Show for me, with the help of their incredibly talented art director and babysitter, who they adore. It was quite a production, with drawings by each of them, and I got to judge and give out awards for most colorful and most creative title. Next up, I've been promised a dance show. What do your children do to show off their artistic Read more...
