Wrapping up the Books
November 28, 2008
Since it is the end of our book month, and the "official" beginning of the holiday season, I thought I would go through some of my favorite books to give as gifts. Where the Sidewalk Ends - I've been known to give this book early, just to make sure I'm the one that give its. Shel Silverstein has a way with words that that makes them fun for kids. I also love The Giving Tree and any of his Read more...
Sick and stuck at home with (seemingly) nothing to do.
November 25, 2008
Well, we made it through it. There was much book reading, a little drawing, and anything else we could do to keep us busy. Here is my top eight list of things to do when you're really sick (temps over 105) Sleep - Good for both the sick kid, and the parent who was up half the night with the sick kid. We broke out rules and napped together a number of times. Fortunately she's Read more...
The Book You Borrow
November 24, 2008
My mom is visiting, and as we lamented getting tired of the same books, she reminded me of what they would do solve the problem when I was little. The monthly trips to the library meant filling up the old style grocery boxes with books. They would have some input in what I got, and then would balance out any repeat book requests with something they could tolerate. One of my choices, Read more...
My Name Is Not Isabella
November 17, 2008
Well, it isn't, but that isn't what this is about. Back when I started writing for Savvy Source I ran into a wonderful woman named Jennifer Fosberry who had self published a book. On a whim, I asked her if I could review it. She actually said yes. I was in shock, and I've been waiting for months to feel like my review would be read by enough people. I love the book, and I want as many Read more...
Tell me a story...
November 11, 2008
Being a country kid, story time was my parents reading to me. If I was lucky, a monthly trip to the library included story time. When I was older, the librarian at my school did stories. Right now M gets lots of story reading at daycare, but we still go to story time at the Minneapolis Central Library when we have a free Saturday morning. Here are some local story times, including some at Read more...
A Fangirl Moment (disguised as a kids event)
September 11, 2008
When I was in school, I discovered They Might Be Giants. They were funny, quirky, that perfect kind of odd that I was going for. I still know more about previous names of historic cities thanks to Istanbul (not Constantinople) than well, the people who don't know the song. I have been serenaded with Birdhouse in Your Soul. Now that I am a parent, I was happy to find out that they have Read more...
Wild Rumpus - Creatures in the City (and books too)
June 16, 2008
I've actively lived here for almost 7 years, and I'm still finding hidden little neighborhoods. Nestled in the residential areas, these little areas of commerce are why I love this city. One of the more well known (it turns out) is Linden Hills. Bordering Lake Harriet, it is home to a variety of family friendly options, including my new favorite children's book store, Wild Rumpus .

Weekend plans for the working family
June 13, 2008
Being a working parent, who still tries to be an involved and interactive parent, comes with certain challenges. One of them is weekends. While trying to recover from a week at work, we still try to do fun stuff with M. At least one out of the house, better than an average day type of thing. Being that it is summer, most weekend programs seem to have suspended while everyone goes to the Read more...
