My son is now crazy about space. He is 3 and is fascinated by rockets, planets and space. My husband is thrilled because it has always been a passion of his and he can’t wait to watch with him Cosmos with Neil deGrasse Tyson. (If you haven’t seen it, it is fantastic and so well […]
My daughter will be turning 6 in a couple of weeks. Oh my! What an amazing year. I feel like we have lived it intensely but at the same time it has flown by so fast. We’ve read a ton of books together this past year, and before we blow the candles, (and while I
I’ve always enjoyed going to the movies. My husband and I would go with our friends on Friday nights to see the latest releases before we were ever married. We loved it.

I have a tiny ballerina at home. She loves to wear her tutu and ballet shoes and dance and twirl around the house (after asking Google to play some classical music that she can dance to). I guess it all started 3 years ago when I saw her staring at a group of girls in
The dog says, “woof.” The cat says, “meow.” The cow says, “moo.” And the baby says, “wow.” Some of the first sounds our children will make are animal sounds.

If you are like us, probably the time of the day when you read books to your toddlers is right before bedtime. We have quite a collection of bedtime books for toddlers at home. It is a must activity in our house every night and a great excuse to cuddle and spend some quality time
