Gift Guide: My 2021 Favs
I've been getting a lot of emails asking when my gift guides will be coming out and I have to apologize. We've had some set backs over here. See exhibit A.. Yes, that is an enormous Cedar tree that fell onto our house earlier this month. Luckily no one was hurt but, needless to say, it's been quite the project. Add to that my daughter's swim team, youngest's soccer, and oldest's TWO basketball teams and you get the picture. So today I want to … [Read more...]

My New Favorite Hack for Getting the Kids to Do Their Chores
If you've been following me for long, you know I'm a huge proponent of giving kids household responsibilities and teaching them to manage money at an early age. I've done a lot of research on the topic and even developed some pretty slick tools to help parents get started.I'll be the first to admit, though, that even the best routines need shaking up every once in a while, and my Kids' Responsibility and Money Management Kit is no different. In our house, the system was still working … [Read more...]

How to Make a “Sibling Appreciation” Advent Calendar
This "Sibling Appreciation Advent Calendar" is an idea our elf came up with last year and worked really well. On the first day he appeared, always the day after Thanksgiving in our house, he arrived with this Advent Calendar (only $15!) and an explanation. The idea is simple. Our elf asked the kids to take a minute each day to write something nice about each other and place it in that day's pocket. The next morning the kids wake up to find the notes they wrote about each other and a small … [Read more...]
Yes, You Can Have a Fun Covid Halloween! Here’s How…
In my neighborhood, Trick-or-Treating is a thing. It's one of those 'hoods that's proud of their reputation as the spot to be, and happily embraces the families that come from all around year after year. Our kids especially love it; the over-the-top decorations, the excitement of seeing so many classmates and friends walking the streets and ringing our doorbell, the block party vibe that permeates the night. So I've been thinking a lot about how we (and all other parents) can live up to … [Read more...]
