We celebrate by making green eggs and ham, reading our entire Dr. Seuss library, watching The Cat in the Hat, and playing some games. What about you? Did you do anything special today? This year is extra special because Maura (my Kindergartner) can now read a few Dr. Seuss books herself. Hop on Pop is [...]
I should start off by saying that I have a huge bias. I love (very present tense) Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. I love the sweater jackets, trademark shoe toss, the field trips (who didn’t love seeing how crayons were made?) but most of all, I love the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. That being said, I was a [...]
The first week of school is over, and for the first time in a long time, I don’t find myself saying TGIF! Maura is enjoying Kindergarten tremendously. Her only requests when she comes home are a snack… and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. Only a few episodes in, this series has definitely become one of her favorites! [...]
My kids adore Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, so they’re excited about today’s premiere of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood on PBS KIDS. Even though this new animated series is aimed at kids 2 to 4 years old, mine love it, especially my rising Kindergartener, Maura! I promised her I’ll DVR it every morning so she can come home [...]
Did you know that each year the United States Congress names April 30th as El Día de los Niños? It’s a great effort meant to support the intellectual and emotional development of young people. More than 100 cities across the nation will celebrate this day with parades, book festivals, hands-on activities, and more! To see [...]
Tomorrow is Dr. Seuss’s birthday! How will you be celebrating it? We’ll be watching The Cat-in-the-Hat-a-thon – a two-hour marathon of PBS KIDS’ popular series THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT! – which airs tomorrow on PBS KIDS. The show has ranked among the top ten programs for children ages 2 to [...]
Did you watch the Oscars? Here are some of the highlights from last night’s awards show, for me, anyway! It’s a long, photo-rich post, so be sure to scroll down to the bottom to see my picks for Best, Worst, and Meh-dressed. SPEECHES Michel Hazanavicius’ speech, after The Artist won Best Picture. “I want to [...]
Tomorrow school lets out early, so the girls and I are hosting a screening of the original Curious George movie in our basement. We’re going to have snacks and a craft, and hopefully give their friends’ parents a couple of hours to do a little last minute grocery shopping for Thanksgiving, or just relax for [...]
I honestly did not want to like The Chew when it premiered back in September. The name sounded silly, and I really didn’t need yet one more show to watch. But watch I did. And I got hooked. The hosts – Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, Daphne Oz, and Clinton Kelly – seem to [...]
Simply put – my daughter loves this laptop. She can pick from 40 different games, but her favorite mode already is in the adventure mode where she can pick her favorite character (for her that is always KoKo). It takes her through a series of different activities and when she gets them correct she earns [...]
It seems that most games my daughter plays are on my iPhone so I was looking forward to playing an old fashion board game with her. She loves “choo choos” as we call them and wanted to play this game as soon as we walked in the door. The game is really easy to understand [...]
The lineup for the upcoming season of DWTS was just announced this week. BACK ROW Ron Artest, an LA Laker, is dancing for his cancer-survivor daughter. I already know I’ll be crying. He’s partnered with Peta Murgatroyd (new pro?) David Arquette, an actor, is dancing with reigning champ Kym Johnson. J.R. Martinez, a soap star [...]
