Splishin’ and Splashin’ – It’s Bath Time with Caillou!

Growing up with Caillou… If you’re mom to a toddler, odds are that you are a big fan of Caillou – the little boy who explores, discovers, and shares his adventures in growing up – each day on PBS and the Sprout channel. My little girl absolutely adores him. And, once I took some time to watch the cartoons with her, and saw the great messages and lessons that each episode teaches little ones, I loved it too. So, when I had the chance to check out one of the newest Caillou toys for bath time – Well, I don’t know who was more excited – me, or Abby…. :)

Mother’s Day Gift Basket Giveaway Event

“Mothers are like glue. Even when you can’t see them, they’re still holding the family together.” – Susan Gale… It’s almost that time ladies – the time of year where we get a little bit of extra appreciation for what we do. For changing diapers, shuttling kids to soccer practice, learning which clothing brands are “cool” enough for your kids, and actually splurging on them from time to time… You know, all of the things we do to help our family be happy, healthy, and running smoothly. So, don’t we deserve a perk once in awhile?

Tips for “Spring Cleaning” Your Toddler

“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” - Margaret Atwood… Ah, spring. Seriously, one of my favorite times of year. I live in central Washington, where we have four VERY distinct seasons – so spring brings a wonderful break from the snowy cold of winter. And, it means it’s time to get the garden going again! Abby adores helping grandma and I plant flowers and dig in the dirt… I actually just bought her a little Garden Playhouse, since she loves grandma’s planting shed so much. But, while we love working in the dirt, and transforming a big patch of it into something beautiful and full of color – I don’t really want us all to smell like dirt at the end of the day….
