    Looking to see what holiday movies you/your family enjoy. Perhaps you have some on your list that I have never seen before. I just saw “That Christmas” last night, which was pretty cute. I don’t mind if they are cartoon movies or live-action. I like watching the Freeform channel 25 Days of Christmas movies, but […]

    I just heard about this new thing where kids get a box of gifts on December 1st to start the holidays. It sounds fun, but also like a lot of extra work. Are you doing it, or skipping it altogether? 8 posts – 6 participants Read full topic

    Just curious how other families do it. When my husband and I first got married, we did both parents houses for EVERY holiday. We were on a constant time schedule, and honestly holidays were not enjoyable for me. When our first son was born, we still did that the first year and it was even […]

    Hello, My 2 1/2 year old watches Leapfrog Letter Factory and loves it. It has really helped her learn the sounds each letter makes. She doesn't watch it that often but I know eventually she is going to want some variety. I am wondering if anyone knows of any other really good educational videos that […]

    Has anybody been here? I dug up an old flyer for it and was wondering if it's worth checking out. My son is 5 and loves science and tornados, so I was thinking it might be cool. Would love to hear reviews from anybody who has been there. Thanks in advance. We live in Naperville […]

    My almost 3-year-old watches her 6.5 year old brother and us play the Wii, and is begging to be allowed to play. Does anyone have a suggestion of a game that she wouldn't find too frustrating? She's at the point of throwing things when she can't do what she means to. 14 posts – 1 […]

    I am considering forking out the considerable cash to attend this event and wonder if anyone has any advice. Are the better seats higher or lower? Can a two year old last through the event? Overall, is it as great at it seems? 4 posts – 1 participant Read full topic

    Hi moms! Does anyone have any experience with dungeons and dragons, particularly for the younger kids? My son is almost 9, loves fantasy (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Eragon)and is very imaginative. He is a strong reader, not so much in math. I have read that the basic game is doable down to 8 years old…I […]

    My daughter just got a DSi for Christmas and I'm looking for some good games for her. She'll be 7 in a month. I heard that Cooking Mama is good, but all the gamer review says it's kinda lame. Would #2 be that much better? Any other suggestions? Thanks! 4 posts – 1 participant Read […]
