July 23, 2009 Age 7-10

This is a super fun project for school-age kids! My son is 9 and he had a blast decorating his backpack. Granted, he refused to draw a rough draft on a sheet of paper or use a pencil on the backpack first so I was a little frustrated. But he’s 9. I’m working on the

Gear Up for Potty Training

July 16, 2009 Age 1-3

Arm yourself with everything you need for successful potty training. Start with a potty seat that is comfortable for your child. My recommendation for a potty seat is the Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer. It adjusts to fit any toilet seat and has a rubber ring to keep it in place so that it won’t slip.

July 9, 2009 Books

The Twitter Book by Tim O’Reilly and Sarah Milstein is seriously one of my all time favorite books. You may know from reading previous posts that I am a geek and an ADHD postergirl. So I think at least. I love the idea of Twitter and Facebook just to name a couple of social tools.

Where is your first aid kit? Do you have one?

July 9, 2009 Beauty & Skin Care

It’s summer, the kids are out of school, and I’m sure you need something to do right? Well, pack your bags and hit the local trails but don’t forget your first aid kit. My guess is that at least 50% of hikers including families on day trip hikes, don’t carry a first aid kit. Like
