I love getting crafty with my kids. Whether it is just painting a picture or coloring, building things anything crafty with the kids is really fun.
When my kids were in a Mommy & Me Preschool, we had the opportunity to create MakeIt plates each year. I truly enjoyed it. It certainly was a great way to have a fun keepsake of their handprints.
Now that most of the “Big Kids” are back in school; for September, Pretend City is calling all little and big explorers to sail away and find the treasure in reading. Celebrate “Talk Like a Pirate Day” and take a literary peek into a pirate’s life on the rolling seas.
Celebrate reading in September because it is National Literacy Month! Pretend City encourages the love of reading and promotes literacy as a fundamental skill for children’s success.
Every year we go through it. As a Mom, I become fascinated that yet another year has come and gone and my little guy is that much more grown up. Tonight, we cuddled as I thought back to the same time when I was in the hospital, scared for us because I was so sick.
Because of my Pre-Eclampsia, I was hospitalized at 33 weeks. At 35 weeks, my doctor decided it was time for me to deliver, even though my little man was just happy as a clam where he was.
About 2 years ago, we noticed that whenever the Princess caught a cold, it takes a turn for the worse. She holds a cold for about 3 weeks minimum and becomes a restless sleeper with a nagging cough. At the absolute height of the cold, she wakes up coughing and it continues for over an hour before she finally throws up all over herself, bed, sheets, pillow – everything!
In consulting with her pediatrician, we started with a few tests. She had blood work done to see if she had allergies and the results came back negative. Then she had x-rays to determine if she has a sinus infection – her sinuses were slightly inflamed, but nothing to cause the chronic cough and vomiting. Eventually the pediatrician thought it could be asthma, so we received a prescription for an Albuterol Inhaler.
It feels like Christmas when a package shows up at the door. You know when you’re expecting a package, you watch the doorstep daily and jump for joy when it arrives….yes, the littlest things excite me. Or how about when you forget you ordered something??? Yeah, that is more of a regular occurrence around here. But last week, I was giddy when I received this box:
What mom wouldn’t be super excited to receive a box of Boogie Wipes, let alone “Epic Boogie Wipes“?
The Los Cerritos Center has a kids club that offers a unique opportunity for children to learn in a fun, interactive environment with hands on activities and live entertainment. They recently released their fall 2013 event schedule.
One of my favorite things as a kid was grabbing my favorite bowl of cereal on a Saturday morning and plopping down in front of the tv to catch the next episode of The Smurfs. In all honesty, I wanted to be Smurfette because she was just so adorable, fun, and the only girl with hundreds of boys!
I was so excited this weekend to share one of my favorite childhood memories with my children with The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow.
Orange County has some really beautiful parks and the Parks and Rec crew have some events to get your outdoors this September.
