LOL Round-up: The one with all the poop
Potty training is as much a right of passage for parents as it is our squidgy bare butted offspring. It’s one of those true “I don’t know how the hell to do this” parenting moments that has us reaching for google faster than Chicken Pox spots. So if you are in the midst of this […]

Time to learn, not sunburn: Great holiday ideas for curious families
Learning doesn’t stop when school’s out for summer, at least not in our house. The learning holidays we find best are where everyone starts as a complete novice and we learn something together as a family, going through the pain of failure before emerging into the pleasure of a new skill gained.
