Counting in Memphis
February 03, 2009
Counting is something that Cara is all about these days. She counts her fingers and toes, her eyes, the dog's eyes, her brother's eyes...you get the point. In an effort to broaden her counting horizons [and yours as well] here are three great places to go to count things. 1. The Zoo - This is an obvious one. Take your kids to the different exhibits and try and count all of the penguins or all Read more...
Rock-n-Romp Auction for Anna
January 27, 2009
A while back I wrote about Rock-n-Romp - a kid friendly backyard rock show of sorts. I received an email from Eric Friedl of Goner Records concerning a benefit concert and online auction that the crew has put together for a very sick little girl, Anna.

What if Christmas, perhaps, Read more...
Difficult subjects
November 20, 2008
The amazing thing about a book is its ability to help people [including kids] grasp tough subjects that they might have otherwise not been able to understand. When something is scary or hurts feelings, most clam up and refuse to talk about what is bothering them. Books provide parents with a wonderful way to "discuss" really difficult subjects like death and divorce. Death is one of those Read more...
Things that matter to a preschooler
January 06, 2008
There are a lot of things that can ruin a preschooler's otherwise perfect day. HUGE injustices like being out of apple juice or losing their favorite stuffed animal are crimes that some kids act like should be punishable by death.
