DIY Ideas for an Awesome Minecraft Party!
Each year my daughter and I talk about what type of theme she wants to have for her upcoming birthday party. Granted, we usually talk about the theme she wants right after her last party so we can prepare and think about it all year long! Yes, we get very excited about these parties and I have found Pinterest to be such a great resource. When she told me she wanted to have a Minecraft theme I set up a board, Kate’s 8th Minecraft Party, on Pinterest so I could pin all the fun ideas I came across on Pinterest throughout the year. About three weeks ago, she…

San Diego Zoo’ Global Supports Wildlife Conservation
Summer is the perfect time to take a visit to the zoo and is a fun activity the whole family can enjoy. A place where you can see all your favorite animals. But imagine a world where your favorite animals begin to disappear one by one. No zebras. No pandas. Imagine the impact on our future generations. Preventing extinction is possible and is happening thanks to an organization committed to connecting people to wildlife and conservation on both a national and global level. San Diego Zoo’ Global :: Wildlife Conservancy In the modern era of zoos, it’s important to do more than just keep animals. We need…

5 Classic Toys To Keep The Kids Entertained
Image courtesy of 9bytz If your house is anything like mine, tackling a to-do list with two lively kiddos is darn near impossible. Especially if it requires sitting down at the computer. It seems no matter what they are engrossed in, as soon as I sit down in my office chair they need 100% of my attention or are hanging like monkeys from my arms. Recently, I really needed to get some things taken care of and started searching the cabinets for entertainment for my little ones. I pulled out the Lite-Brites. Yes, we have the original from way back when, and you know what? They were completely entertained…

The Kratt Brothers Teach Kids About Wildlife in a New Special
There are so many great programs on television that help parents supplement their children’s education. One of my favorite programs is the Wild Kratt’s. These brothers, Chris and Martin, have brought the fun into wildlife. Since watching Zoboomafoo with my then 3 year old, our family have been big fans of these two. As a kid, I use to love watching the nature programs and learn about the world around us. My daughter shares this same love of nature and we enjoy watching Wild Kratt’s together quite often. This coming Monday the Kratt brothers, Martin and Chris will be educating kids about the differences between a crocodile and an alligator. I…

Inspiration Found at Disney On The Road
Okay, by now you probably know I am a big kid at heart and love all things Disney! After attending the Disney Social Media Moms event back in April I truly appreciated (even more) what an amazing visionary Walt Disney really was and love that he never gave up on his dream of creating the Happiest Place On Earth! Which I can honestly say is one of my favorite places to go with the family. I love to see my daughter’s face light up while on the roller coasters or when she runs into a Disney character at the park. Plus, there is something about eating popcorn while walking…

10 Netflix Titles for a Summer Brain-Power Boost
School may be out, but learning doesn’t have to be. We challenged our daughter to pick a chapter book of her choice and finish it before school starts back up again in a few weeks! Her reward: five bucks (plus we know she is keeping up her newly acquired reading skills). With summer in full swing, most kids don’t want to even think about schoolwork and are enjoying their days off outside of the classroom. One of the ways to introduce some educational programming is to stream on Netflix! We got rid of cable last year and only use Netflix to watch our favorite shows – so much more economical and they…
