Little Pim review: an entertaining way to teach language

I speak enough of a couple languages to be a good tourist. None of them are fluent, but I could order food, understand the numbers and get basic directions. That leaves me with the question of how do you teach your child another language when you, yourself can barely speak a second one? Little Pim has a series of DVDs, audio CDs, books and apps that make things learning another language possible for children. Continue reading Little Pim review: an entertaining way to teach language

What to expect from your 18 month old toddler

Babies start to become fun when they turn 5 months. Granted they are always fun, but sometimes the work to fun ratio is weighted heavily (exclusively) in work. By now your little toddler is probably walking to some extent. What else can you expect from your 18 month old toddler? Continue reading What to expect from your 18 month old toddler

A review tail of 2 bunny books: Billy Bunny and Counting Bunnies

With Easter just around the corner we were given the opportunity to take a look at two books about bunnies. Easter bunnies that is, all hopping happy and here to make small children smile with delight. More Mojo is 1.5 YO and 3YO Mojo both love books so we gave it a go. The results were mixed, but neither one left us with a lump of charcoal in our Easter egg. Continue reading A review tail of 2 bunny books: Billy Bunny and Counting Bunnies

Extreme Mammals is a great addition to Fernbank for children

We do love going to the Fernbank Museum of Natural History. Having such a large and well planned out museum of natural history is a benefit to living in a big city. However, truth be told, we don’t get there more than a couple of times a year. Extreme Mammals just opened at Fernbank and is a great reason to discover-or be reminded of what a great museum it is. Continue reading Extreme Mammals is a great addition to Fernbank for children

All Through My Town is the go-to children’s book in the house now

I love to read. 3YO Mojo likes to read too. In a perfect world I’d have enough time to have a site devoted exclusively to comic and children’s books. I state that to preface the fact that our son likes books but is picky and certainly has his favorite books. Having said that; All Through My Town by Jean Reidy has been his go-to book ever since he picked it up. Continue reading All Through My Town is the go-to children’s book in the house now

The Sears ‘All things Baby’ sale is a great primer for parents to be

When I have a spare moment (rarely) I think back to when I had free time (before children). The needless books we purchased provided us with thousands of tips we’ve since forgotten, paranoid thoughts we didn’t listen to (thankfully) and a litany of things we’d need for the baby. Currently Sears is having the ‘All Things Baby’ sale. It’s a simple title with samples of everything you’ll need at some point during your time as a parent to small people. Continue reading The Sears ‘All things Baby’ sale is a great primer for parents to be

How my wife and I discovered our 3YO son gaming the system

As a child I remember gaming the system. The system varied from sneaking into a swimming pool to getting out of chores, but I was a sneaky young man. 3YO Mojo gamed our system for a couple of days, until we got wise to it. Continue reading How my wife and I discovered our 3YO son gaming the system

How to remove crayons from wooden surfaces

The other day More Mojo was crawling his 16 month old self up the stairs. I was dutifully behind him making sure that he didn’t reverse course. When we got to the top I grabbed him and headed down when I saw 3 YO Mojo had taken out his crayons and was coloring the hardwood floors. Nooooo, I yelled in my best slow motion voice, while running down the stairs carrying a crawler. Continue reading How to remove crayons from wooden surfaces
