If you can remember far enough back, I wrote both part one and two of this series on Theorists of Child Development. My first post was about Freud and my second was aboutErikson. Today, I am going to take us closer to the end of this series and discuss Piaget. If you are not sure [...]

If you remember a few weeks ago, I started a post on the Theorists of Child Development and by the end of a pretty long post, I had only covered Freud and some of his theories. I did hint that I was going to move on to Erik Erikson in a few weeks and [...]

When I was a kid, I really felt that the sole reason why my parents had children was for the cheap labor. I mean, by the time I was 4, I already had several chores that were assigned to me; namely the bathroom. I still remember my parents watching me while I was scrubbing the toilet and [...]

If you remember, yesterday I talked about things that we are teaching our children without even realizing it. You can read that post here.
I guess I should say that I was actually ranting but you’ll forgive me my flaws. I am after all human and as both a human and a parent I am allowed [...]

Today it was official, we took down the pool so it has to be the last day of summer. Okay, maybe the last day of summer is officially on September 21st and the last day of summer vacation isn’t until Monday but you can definitely feel the days winding down into a new schedule.

It’s probably a little early to be dreaming about snow but with the muggy weather I had today, I’m almost ready for winter. Well, almost ready…okay, not really, but the thought of winter made me think that it would be an excellent time to share my recipe for Whipped Snow.
This is a fun little recipe [...]
Welcome to part two of buying a layette for your baby. If you have been with me for a while, you will probably remember the first post about buying a layette. I know that usually this is just one article but since I am writing a few points about every item, I decided to break [...]
It has been a while since I wrote a cheat sheet for That Parent Place so I figured it was time to do so again. Right now, I am the proud snail-sitter of about 10 snails. They will be going back into a nice spot in my yard very soon, not the garden where they [...]
