Product Review | Dot & Bo

Shipping was super fast and well packaged. The air filter is made of charcoal that has been especially shaped into a (very small) honeycomb like […]

Painting With Dolls

It was raining cats and dogs and we’d already read a stack of books and watched more PBS kids than I care to admit when I decided to steal this idea from my own preschool teachers Fran and Gumti. I loved it when they would roll out the paper and we could choose one of […]

Use a marble jar and a timer to manage screen time

I first became familiar with the Marble Jar when my daughter was in preschool.
