Tuesday Top Five: Toys for Pretend Play
May 12, 2009
Children's imitation of the people around them starts early. My one-year-old is already trying to sweep the floor, and my five-year-old claims she's going to be a doctor and a dancer and a rockstar when she grows up. In their view, we get to do all the exciting stuff -- little do they know, we think they've got it made instead! Here are some toys to help inspire their imagination as littles pretending to be big.
here comes kindergarten!
January 22, 2009
While 2009 seems like it just began, spring will arrive soon, then summer, then fall. Before we know it, the buzz of a new school year will be upon us. If you, like me, have a child that will be entering kindergarten in the fall, the thought of sending your little one off to the big kid school makes your heart beat a little faster. (In fact, I visited our neighborhood elementary school last Read more...
Tuesday top five: best places to see yourself reflected in Charleston
January 13, 2009
From a very young age, children are attracted to the image of themselves in a mirror. It's a place to get a hold of who they are and what they look like to other people, in addition to being an excellent opportunity for making funny faces! Sometimes it's fun to go looking for yourself in less expected places -- well, less expected than the bathroom mirror, anyway. Here are five spots in and Read more...
Enriching the preschool fun at home
November 10, 2008
Preschool is great -- fabulous, in fact. I love hearing about my daughter's morning and seeing the artwork and worksheets she brings home from school. I am always impressed by the lessons her teacher plans. But time at preschool isn't everything. As parents, we can make good efforts to reinforce the lessons from preschool at home as well! How? Well, it's mostly about tuning into what your Read more...
Have manners? yes, ma'am!
September 27, 2008
My first few months living in the South brought a bit of culture shock for me. Here, people say "ma'am" and "sir" as a matter of routine (and respect), gentlemen actually hold doors for you (especially if they notice you juggling small children, which is fabulous!), and all the friends I made seemed to have a stash of gorgeous monogrammed correspondence cards. I've come to appreciate the Read more...
Wine, not Whine: Date Night Ideas for Mom and Dad
June 20, 2008
There's a lot to be said for playing together as a family. There's also a lot to be said for getting out of the house with your partner and enjoying some uninterrupted conversation and a guarantee that you won't have to wipe anyone's butt during dinner. Get a babysitter, turn the cell phone to vibrate, and get out of the house sans little people. You'll recharge and the kids will have a great Read more...
What's in a name?: Getting to know Charleston
June 05, 2008
I didn't grow up in South Carolina, so I never took the state history course and know very little about Charleston's rich history. (I can, however, tell you all about Arizona, if you're interested. Takers?) I'm definitely looking forward to learning more about Charleston's past with my children, and what better place to begin than with the name. Kids are naturally curious about their own Read more...
