Me

I've been fascinated to learn how the brain's executive function challenges many kids in school and at home.


The Big Kid

My daughter loved this so much, we read it aloud to the whole family. Then moved on to the next one.


The LIttle Kid

A wonderful story with great illustrations and an environmental message that's not preachy or scary.

Hi! We were the lucky

Submitted by Mabel on October 14, 2008 - 9:46am.

Hi! We were the lucky winners of the previous Kiddie Cruise give away. We just went on our cruise this Sunday. Our boys (5 yo and 1.5 yo) had a great time. Spongebob and Elmo greeted everyone as we boarded the Queen of Hearts at 11:30am.

After checking our stroller we headed upstairs for some balloon animals and face painting.

We listened to live music and the kids ate their turkey and cheese sandwiches as the ship departed from Pier 40 at noon.

The music got a little too loud for us, so we headed downstairs for coloring and to wait for the puppet show.

After the puppet show we headed back upstairs for the magic show and more photo ops with Spongebob and Elmo before we docked at 2:00pm.

DH & I were delighted to have caught the last weekend of the Waterfalls. My 5 yo, who loves the Statue of Liberty, was very happy to have seen Lady Liberty up close.

My 10 year old just told me that he plans on trick or treating for the rest of his life - and this year he plans on being Jason, I know-gone are the days of my little fireman or furry lion. I will be a Diva Minnie Mouse.
