I have been reviewing the Smarcks Blocks at home and on some of my home visits the past few months and I can’t even begin to describe to you how smart the technology in these blocks really is! Wait, did I just say blocks and technology in the same sentence, you got that right! These [...]
Today I did something I have never done before. I visited our state house in Boston, MA along with hundreds of other families and co-workers that are served by the Early Intervention (EI) programs in our state.

Parents, I see the look on your faces when I show up to your house or your child comes home from school and they are covered from head to toe in what ever sticky art project they completed. Sometimes, we all just need a way to help kid’s expand their creative minds, minus the mess. [...]
So I’m soon going to be in the process of reviewing a toy kitchen with my son Gavin over the next few weeks and I decided to go on an accessory hunt today while I was at my local Target looking for some plates, pots and pans. Now I visit toy aisles frequently and feel [...]

Since Valentine’s Day is around the corner, I’ve been struggling with the idea of whether this is a gift giving holiday or not. It seems that no matter what as parents we decide, there will be friends and family members in our lives that turn these little holidays into these types of gift giving events. [...]
What better way to teach kids the concept of stop and go or what to do when crossing the street either by foot or bicycle at a traffic intersection, than to use the game Red Light, Green Light by International Playthings.

So this weekend we have had some of our friends visit this weekend with their three children. I love kid visitors in my house, because that means I get to secretly watch to see what they find in my living room that peeks their interest. So our friends’ kids are Kindergarten and Preschool age and [...]
Are you wondering about a last minute holiday gift that the entire family could utilize?
