the cutest phone call ever!

The phone rang tonight, it was a tiny little voice.

This week we did sports as the theme. Tomorrow we will only have 3 kids here instead of 6, and 2 of those are leaving at noon. So, I'm hopping over to the grade school during nap time while m… Continue

Is TV Part of Your Daycare Daily Curriculum?



I am always asked this question, and I always ask when I have someone care for my child. I think TV is great when used as an educational tool, and with adult supervision. When it comes to my toddler I want to know (at all times) what is absorbing from the television.

If TV is on your a… Continue
