There are some truly educational games that benefit learning. We’ve found some games that help promote learning letters (teach and help the child trace and write letters), memory, animals, shapes, coloring activities - whatever - it’s probably out there.

As a mommy and parent, you still need those little pieces of wonder to keep your sanity. Here’s where you’ll find it.
Here’s an update to the Ant Farm that was previously posted.

So here are my ideas thus far for toddlers aged 2-4, this is why the list does not have complex arts and crafts because my children aren’t …
A few photos to share of Bianca. I remember this amazing trip we took to Bangkok, Thailand a few years ago while she was visiting Hong Kong and it was a girls’ only trip. Good times. Miss you much Bianca and a very Happy Birthday to you.
For those who aren’t familiar with the background, read my earlier post on Bianca.
