Winter Break Survival: Detroit Children's Museum
December 22, 2008
Lots of us are looking forward to a nice long break between Christmas and New Year's -- even businesses that are open tend to slow down and work with skeleton staff. But for many of us, our kids' winter break starts today, leaving us with two solid weeks of fun to fill. Yikes. And I know for me, I am solo parenting without the help of school or spouse while it's like a degree outside at Read more...
Tuesday Top Five: Halloween Traditions
October 21, 2008
Halloween is still ten days away, but the fun stuff has been happening for awhile and will continue right up through the 31st. One of the best parts of having a little kid is reliving that joy and excitement of Halloween through their eyes, and there's all kinds of activities, from bookish to outdoorsy, that the whole family can enjoy coming up.

So, you want to be a pirate, do ya? Well, do ya, matey? If you do, the Detroit Science Center is the place to be Wednesdays through the summer. Their current "big" exhibit is called "SHIPWRECK: Pirates and Treasure." You can learn about the science behind hunting shipwrecks and the treasure that often goes down with the ship.

Princess For a Day
May 16, 2008
My daughter, suddenly, at age three and half, has entered the princess phase. She's fascinated with fairy tales, demanding I tell her one at bedtime and rejecting my attempts to add in a little empowerment (i.e. :"The prince liked Cinderella because she was smart and funny and easy to talk to"). But for her, and for most little girls, it's really all about the clothes. And honestly, who doesn't Read more...
