Let’s face it. For many of us, just getting our kids fed, groomed, and off to school in a timely manner is a big enough challenge. (Don’t forget to pack the snacks, help plan the class party or finish that special project that’s due tomorrow!) And these days, youngsters are expected to academically perform at [...]

The first day of school never fails to elicit a flurry of emotions in both parents and kids.

I’ve always been a fan of yogurt as a kids’ snack. It’s a little self-serve cup of calcium and Vitamin D, and kids can help themselves to it without waiting for us to finish folding the laundry or feeding the baby. And I’m not alone; lots of our bloggers already had a package [...]

Bob the Builder is not your ordinary contractor.  Not only has Bob built entire communities but he’s now built a zoo too! Talk about a turn-key service provider!

Has your child met any “sight words” yet?
“Sight words”, like “the”, “see” “I” or “look” are basic words most commonly found when reading. Introducing “sight words” is part of an early reading program that usually starts in kindergarten. But what if there was an entertaining way for your child to learn these words even sooner?

Quite the contrary, the bloggers who have reviewed Hanes Comfort-Fit Underwear for Kids thus far have a common refrain: the title of their posts usually have the word “wedgie” in them.
