No Bones About It!
January 28, 2009
While often it is just boys that like bones, I've found that most kids are interested in (or obsessed with) dinosaurs and dinosaur skeletons. Either way, teaching kids about bones is a great way to enter into conversations about health, how our bodies work and how healthy eating can make them bigger, faster and stronger (like mini super heroes!). A great exhibit is going on right now at Read more...
Mark your calendar!

Museums are a great way to get out in the world with your kiddos, big and small, get some walking in, see some sights and learn a little about the world too! So mark your calendars because Saturday, February 7th is the 11th annual Sacramento Museum day when twenty-six greater Sacramento area museums offer FREE (yes totally FREE) admission from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They also offer free shuttle Read more...
The Science and Art of Raising Kind Kids
January 07, 2009
Surfing the net today (do they still say that or am I dating myself?), anyway, I was surfing and I came across a great opportunity for parents if you are up for a day trip this weekend. www.parentsmonthlyonline.com has a great monthly calendar of activities for kids. This month they had a blurb on the San Francisco Exploratorium which is offering a one-time class called ' The Science and Art Read more...

Top 5 things to do in Sacramento on a rainy day
October 14, 2008
I hate to admit it, but the rain - it's coming. In my house when we wake up and the sky is full of clouds I wish I could sneak away and hide out until the sun peeks through again. My children seem to instantly develop cabin fever and alternately raise their voices as if they are at a rock concert, or choose to play games that only an orangutan would think was appropriate for the indoors.

Mini Detectives
September 09, 2008
There are few things my boys like better than a good mystery. They have both been obsessed with Scooby Doo since they could walk, both for the comedic value, but also for the excitement of a good mystery. If you have a kiddo who loves treasure hunts and uncovering mysteries, I have a couple of great activities for you. The first doubles as a errand so you can actually entertain the troops Read more...
Brain food and fun
September 05, 2008
Teaching your preschooler about valuable subjects such as history, environmentalism, art and music can be a daunting task. When most little ones are more interested in watching Dora, playing train or running around in circles and barking like dogs (as my children are), it can be a challenge to get them to sit still long enough to learn something of value. A great way to give them early Read more...
Artistic relief
July 11, 2008
I've officially checked the weather forecast and I'm thrilled to report that this weekend the temp will drop to the blissful mid-90's. Ok, I know that doesn't sound that promising but this week we topped out at 109 ridiculous degrees so in my opinion this is news to celebrate. I'm thinking that since tomorrow is Second Saturday Sac's own monthly arts celebration that while I won't tote my Read more...
Gold Country 101
June 27, 2008
So I think it's kind of crazy to expect a preschooler to be interested in history. It's a bizarre concept for someone who has spent less than five years on this planet. However, one of my best friends who has a kindergartener was telling me while it annoyed her that her daughter had no interest in the subject, she was grateful she knew a little bit about California history. This, she reminded Read more...
