I’m so excited to bring you this Valentine’s Day activity, which is part of Toddler Approved’s 100 Acts of Kindness Project! My inspiration was Christina Perri’s Jar of Hearts - a melancholy song about a tortured break up - but this activity is about recognizing love and kindness in another and creatively expressing thanks for that person’s [...]

For someone who’s so nostalgic about everything, I’m surprised at how much I’m looking forward to 2012. But before I get busy jumping ahead, here’s my favorite play post from 2011: Colorful Ice Cube Painting We got so messy, but we had so much fun!

I was nauseated for most of the holidays, which was great for me because I lost six pounds, but horrible because I couldn’t make or shop for presents and stocking stuffers or properly prep for all the festivities. It would have been totally awful except that I have these wonderfully fond memories to laugh back [...]

My name is Chrissy and I’m a drugstore junkie. I’ve been hitting up drugstores since I was in sixth grade. It began with me scouring the shelves for the [...]
I’m so excited to be sharing with you the activity for Day 23 of the Creative Christmas Countdown: Play A Card Game! One of Jane’s favorite games is the iPhone Toy Story 3 Memory App. She’s already mastered the Easy Level and isn’t fazed at all by the Medium Level. To break her away [...]
