I was excited to see this book recently at the library. I have always enjoyed Tyler Florence’s cooking shows and books. I noticed about six months ago that he also wrote a cookbook for kid friendly recipes (Start Fresh: Your Child’s Jump Start to Lifelong Healthy Eating). Tyler Makes Pancakes (ages 4 and up) by […]

If You Give a Moose a Muffin
If You Give a Moose a Muffin by Laura Numeroff is a funny and engaging tale that is appropriate for children ages four and up (but younger will enjoy as well). If a big moose came to your house, you would give him a muffin and then some jam to go with it and so […]

Eat Healthy, Feel Great
“Eat Healthy, Feel Great” by William and Martha Sears and Christie Watts Kelly (Preschool and up) is an excellent and educational book to read to your child during mealtime (or anytime).

There’s A Big Beautiful World Out There
My daughter came home from library with this book, “There’s A Big Beautiful World Out There” by Nancy Carlson (ages 3 and up).

Be Careful and Stay Safe
I wrote this post before I heard about the horrific tragedy that occurred at the Newton School in Connecticut. My heart goes out to all of the victims and their families. Sometimes, even in the places that we view the “safest” for our kids, events like this occur that are unthinkable. My heart feels heavy […]

I found Make a Meal Sticker Pad (ages 3 and up) by Melissa and Doug the other day at the pharmacy and immediately bought it. This toy is very versatile because it is gender friendly and can be used with a variety of ages. When using this sticker pad, I had each of my children […]
