Perhaps you’re tired of listening to me harp on about science but I truly believe that children who are knowledgeable about science and the world around them will never lack for anything. The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) site EurekAlert! has a fabulous portal full of the latest science news all for […]

I love VeggieTales. And, I have to admit, I was not introduced to them after my children were born. No, I’ve known Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber longer than I’ve known my own children.
Big Idea Productions started releasing these videos of computer animated vegetables when my husband and I were in […]

Hi! And welcome to our third installment of “Same Toys, Different Continents.” The post where Hsien and I each chat about a toy, game, or other such kid thing that we both have (or have access to), and share how that kid thing is enjoyed, destroyed, or ignored in our home. […]
