One thing I have never done with my kids is just taken them to the store to ask them what they want for Christmas. In the past I have relied on memory, paying attention to which commercials they liked and let them look through catalogs. But I never actually walked with them and let them [...]
I have had my share of fitness ruts. Bored with my workout. Needing a change. Uninspired. Sometimes we need to change things up a bit so that we can get excited about working out again. I know it works for me be constantly changing up my routine. Doing something different. Changing up the routine, taking [...]
When my son was 3 years old, he was reading words and short sentences. My daughter is almost 5 and can identify a few short words, but not many.
