Pretend Play
Less is More.
November 24, 2008
There are moments when our schedule gets so hectic and I'm so frantic to not be late to the next activity that I completely lose all perspective. In a way I think we have all lost perspective these days. We are raised in a country that teaches us that there is a certain way to raise children. We begin by stimulating them with every possible piece of information as little babies, next we Read more...
Fall Plays!
November 07, 2008
As many of you may have already figured out, I am a big fan of theater for children. Going to plays with children inspires their imaginations, encourages their love of books, gives them new ideas for play and often inspires brand new little thespians. While many parents don't think taking their little ones to performances is a wise idea, I always encourage it. Our local theaters that offer Read more...

Teatime for boys
July 31, 2008
So as promised I was taking some time to add to my end-of-summer calendar this morning. As I pondered what wonderful activities I would plan for my darling little boys, this is what I overheard from the other room: Girls are gross, being a boy is better. When I grow up I want to become a scientist to create a machine that will make sure I never am a girl. Ewwwwtea parties Read more...
Wizardly delights at Fairytale Town
July 24, 2008
While I have yet to allow my boys to watch the Harry Potter movies, due to excessive marketing they are Potter fanatics like most kids. They know the characters and the movie titles and regularly beg to watch the videos. However, up to this point I have decided against exposing them to the movies not because I don't love them myself because they are a bit too scary and I am not a fan of 2 Read more...

The magic of childhood
July 09, 2008
My younger son Solomon, constantly questions me on the validity of magic. He is a doubter, a skeptic I'm sad to report, and we have spent many long discussions debating the merits of Santa and fairies and trolls under bridges. My older son is a bit more faithful and has no trouble believing that blue jays on our fence post mean good luck and that the tooth fairy carves intricate and perfect Read more...
