My newly-turned three is in love with cutting strip work. I whipped up a few themed strips in honor of the Olympic Games that begin this Friday. Here they are if you’d like them too: All I ask is if you share or use them, please link back here / tag me. I’d love to…
–or– Why It’s Ok to Quiz Your Kids. Really! Recently I saw a post on Instagram from a popular Montessori account that warned parents of quizzing their children. She recommended not to ask your toddler to tell you the color of something but rather to point out the color to him or her. Why? Because…
I took a sip of my morning mug of coffee and saw my hands were still stained with red. Red paint from yesterday. The day before, my two-year-old had happened upon the open Amazon package I’d left on the coffee table. I was in the kitchen dishing out dinner. Meanwhile, he unscrewed the lid from…

Spoiler: we loved it! What is it? A fun spatial orientation game for little ones. Pieces consist of just a couple…
Ah teething. Mark Twain summed it up well when he said, “Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principal one was that they escaped teething.” I tend to not pay a whole lot of attention to teeth. We do our due diligence attending regular six month cleanings, and even occasionally we make the kids floss,…
Talk about a favorite toy — we received Pixel Baby from Timberdoodle in exchange for our honest review — this activity is one of my toddler’s favorite activities. Will loves grasping the colorful pegs, removing and replacing them over and over again. He can easily place them on the board independently. Because Will is still…
How perfectly adorable are these little critters from the game Little Mémo! I wasn’t 100% sure of what to expect when Timberdoodle sent this toddler game, Little Mémo, to review.
