If you’re like most parents, you probably struggle to get fruits and veggies into your kids. Kids want quick snacks after school or between school and their other activities.
During the summer, they need snacks that they can take with them to the pool, park, summer camp, sports, vacations and all of their warm weather outings. With school out of session, kids aren’t getting the nutritional benefits of a school lunch, either.…

I jumped at the chance to attend an advance screening of the Angry Birds Movie in 3D, not because I had any desire to go, but because both of my daughters, ages 12 and 6, really wanted to see it. I wasn’t expecting much, given the material available to work with.
In case you’ve never played the very popular and addictive Angry Birds game from Rovio, it involves flinging birds using a slingshot at green pigs who have stolen their eggs.…
Some kids may balk at the idea of playing a game that’s not on an electronic device. However, a few companies, such as Winning Moves, still make creative and fun games which the whole family can enjoy playing together.
My six-year-old daughter was immediately drawn to the new Winning Moves games called Brynk and Pass the Pig Big Pigs. My 12-year-old lost interest when she learned they weren’t video games.…

After our last remaining cat passed away on Christmas Eve, I thought we’d mourn Mimi for at least a few months before adopting new kitties. However, the house seemed so empty without a cat. The kids were downtrodden, especially our older daughter, who was 11 at the time.
She’s old enough to understand what death means and that another cat isn’t a drop-in replacement for a deceased one.…

When I was a kid, we couldn’t get cable TV out in the country where my family lived. We watched the few over-the-air channels available to us out of Pittsburgh, Johnstown and Altoona, PA. Cartoons were only broadcast on Saturday mornings, and interspersed among our favorite cartoons were short educational cartoons from Schoolhouse Rock.
I didn’t realize it at the time (and probably most other kids didn’t, either), but we were learning a whole lot about a bunch of topics.…
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, but you don’t have to pay a bundle to get just the right valentines for your child to take to school, daycare or preschool. You can find valentines on the cheap at dollar stores (for only $1 a box) or find free printable valentines online.
I recommend trying Dollar Tree first, since they often have all sorts of popular licensed character valentines, including My Little Pony, Ninja Turtles, Disney Princess, super heroes like Batman and Spiderman and much more.…
