3 Simple Sensory Activities

3 Simple Sensory Activities

February 25, 2018

I have always seen cool ideas on Pinterest and Facebook for sensory bins and sensory activities for kids. To me, they always looked a little complicated, messy and like more clutter for my house. I want my kids to have sensory activities but usually leave that for playing outside. Then, after way too much time stuck inside due to a… Read More

Our Favorite Apps By Age

Our Favorite Apps By Age

January 15, 2018

Today I’m sharing my favorite iPad apps by age. When your kids have trashed the entire house, have played with all the toys and have eaten all the snacks…. In the summer: “go outside!” In the winter: “want to see the iPad?” Anyone else? I’m going to be totally honest: my kids don’t love the iPad and honestly, sometimes when… Read More

Simple Italian Lessons for Kids: Lezione 1

Simple Italian Lessons for Kids: Lezione 1

January 9, 2018

Ciao ragazzi! Fun fact: I studied Italian in college and finished my minor in Italian while studying abroad. Besides to help me get around while traveling in Italy, I haven’t used that college minor for too many other things. Before I had kids, I had grand plans of raising bi-lingual children who spoke Italian fluently when they were young. Those… Read More

November 3, 2017

Dear Tommy, Today you are 3 years old. It’s been a while since I wrote one of these letters on the blog. But this past week I looked back at the letters I wrote Maggie and Alex on their 3rd birthdays and couldn’t believe some of the things I would have forgotten if not for writing it down.

Apple Pie Playdough

October 23, 2017

The big brothers are back in school and we have been settling back into a new routine of the school year.  I have had to readjust our schedule to enjoying life with two kids from 8-3 before the big after school rush of homework, sports, and dinnertime.  Abby attends half-day preschool, but I am enjoying spending time with her at… Read More

Easy DIY Madeline Costume

Madeline has always been one of my favorite books. I was so excited to read it to my girls for the first time when they were tiny. Since then, we’ve read them non stop over the years and last year made a special visit to Bemelman’s Bar in New York City for the Madeline Tea. This Halloween, Alex chose to… Read More

September 14, 2017

Today I’m sharing our favorite books for toddler boys. What’s that they say “the days are long and the years are short”? It seems like just yesterday I had two toddler girls in the house all day. There were some very long days, but looking back, the days were filled with two giggling little girls that wore princess costumes all… Read More
