A Lower Calorie Easter

Candy is a great part of Easter. I loved it as a kid and still do as an adult. Now that I have a child of my own I see the value of having a little less candy around this year. Instead of hiding candy in the plastic Easter eggs, hide puzzle pieces and spend an afternoon putting together the puzzle.

Labeling Kids' Cups

Do you have trouble keeping your kids' names on their travel cups? If I write on it with permanent marker it comes off in the dishwasher. If I use the address labels provided by the nursery they leave sticky marks on the cup. I read a great tip today in Parents magazine about labeling kids' cups. Write your child's name, in permanent marker, on a wide rubber band and put the rubber band on the cup.

April Fool's Day

April Fool's Day is coming up. I read, in Parents magazine, about a great joke to play on your kids. Fill a cup 3/4 full of milk and freeze it overnight. On April Fool's Day morning top it off with more milk. Watch the surprise on your kids' faces when they can't drink anymore.
