Monday – back to work and daycare after a great weekend! The weather is beautiful and yesterday we were enjoying the outdoors all day from 11am to 7pm. We found (literally) a “new” bike for Noah (it had just been put on the side of the street to give away) Just the right size between…

Earth Day | Eco-Friendly Craft Ideas and Activities for Kids
April 22 is Earth Day – a good occasion to think green and do eco-friendly activities together, talk to your children about mother earth and teach them ways to be more conscious about the environment. Here are some ideas for activities and crafts to do with kids on Earth Day
World Water Day
Water is a vital but unfortunately limited resource. Only 2.5% of the water on Earth is freshwater. There are many ways we can reduce our water footprint. Here are just a few areas where you could perhaps improve your water footprint:

Summer Activities
Another sunny day – love it! The heat wave is over and the temperatures are now much more pleasant. Hopefully we can still enjoy a lot of nice warm days throughout August and September and there are still time for some summer outings with the kids …
Balance Bike – A Benefit for Your Toddler
A really cool thing about the balance bike was that we could go for longer walks without having to bring a stroller. He didn’t get so tired using the bike, and when he wanted to walk, this light weight balance bike was super easy to pick-up and carry in one hand.
Fun Father’s Day Craft Ideas
With Father’s Day just around the corner, I would like to suggest some cool small wooden craft projects, that would be a great opportunity for dad to have a little one on one time with the kids.
