My baby is 15 months old, and up until we moved two months ago, I still had my hospital bag packing list washi-taped to the bedroom wall. Call me sentimental and schmaltzy, but there was something so magical and...
Parents of preteens can be very naïve these days. I remember the days of my youth when I would lie to my parents about who I was talking to on the phone . . . and now as a mother...

Our son Sam didn't learn to read in kindergarten, even though he was one of the oldest children in his class. He did learn to read in first grade, but not particularly well and not until the end of...

I don't know about you, but in our house Play-Doh is a big deal. My boys LOVE it and it's as much of a staple in our house as peanut butter!
I love it too. It fosters so much creativity...
