How to Make Every Birthday Special
Today Melissa & Doug are sponsoring a little chat all about birthdays (and giving away one mega prize pack too!). I'm curious - how do you celebrate your littles' birthdays? Here in Seattle, birthday parties are big business. It probably has a lot to do with the weather - nine months out of the year the chances of rain on any given weekend are fairly high. That means folks who don't have a home suitable for hosting a big bash are often left scrambling for other indoor alternatives. The … [Read more...]
What the Kids and I Have Been Up to Elsewhere
We've been talking a lot of food around here lately. You may even be wondering if we forgot about the kids a bit. Rest assured, the littles and I have been up to our usual tricks - we've just been sharing them elsewhere. Here's a recap of our latest adventures. Over on eHow's mom channel we've been making "Critter Snacking Ladders" (pictured up top)... … [Read more...]

Friday Share: Ideas for Keeping Busy Over Spring Break
It's Friday already (how did that happen?!) and I find myself with so much good stuff to tell you about. First, I wanted to let you guys know that I've started sharing over on Sulia this week. Though the last thing I probably need in my life is another social media channel, I'm hopelessly addicted. If you haven't heard of it yet, the best way I can describe Sulia is a cross between Pinterest and facebook. Folks such as myself are over there sharing all kinds of randomness. What I'm loving is … [Read more...]
MPMK Continuing Ed Course #3 – Get Balanced
Stop me if any of this sounds like you: You have the ability to feel tired yet wired at the same time. You hit the snooze button 6 times on your alarm. You have a 'no speaking to me' rule before your morning caffeine. You are eating well, exercising, and the scale will. not. budge. 4pm strikes and you need sugar. And there is no stopping you. 10pm strikes and you feel inexplicably motivated. 2am strikes and you are wide eyed, yet exhausted. This is a list shared with me by … [Read more...]
3 New Approaches to The Easter Egg
Happy hump day friends. Do you all have big Easter plans for this weekend? We're actually double booked - which I'm bummed about. Friends of ours are hosting a hunt in their backyard and the idea of all our littles running around together sounds so fun. But our annual tradition is to head home for an organized egg hunt with both sets of grandparents - anything else just wouldn't be Easter. (Plus the Easter bunny himself makes an appearance, which the kids love). So we'll be piling in the … [Read more...]
How to Instantly Double Your Play Space (Plus a Giveaway!)
Time for another play/art room update. The last time I showed it to you guys we had just chucked the couch and acquired a huge new art table (thank you craigslist). Since then we've been getting tons of use out of it - we can be found creating in the room almost daily. I've been so, so happy with it, with one exception. While the addition of the art table has exponentially increased our creative endeavors, it takes up quite a bit of space and has cut down a bit on the amount of area we have … [Read more...]
Book Nook: Top Kid Reads for Spring
Resident MPMK children's librarian Janssen is back today with her top 10 picks for Spring and, bonus, a few Easter favorites too. I'll definitely be picking up a one or two of these to add to S and C's Easter basket this weekend. QUESTION OF THE DAY Do you have a seasonal home library for the kids? (We started ours about a year ago and it's so fun to see S and C's excitement over the books they remember from last year hitting our shelves again.) I've always loved spring, but now that I … [Read more...]
