All Aboard the Rockin’ Railroad at Kidville

Does your child LOVE trains? AND music? Then don’t miss the Rockin’ Railroad class at Kidville. If you read my previous post about Our Musical Journey, you know that my son puts the “Roc” in “Kindie Rock.” So my pal Marissa from Hip and Healthy Kids and I brought our boys to a complimentary class […]

Our Musical Journey (and why we LOVE Music for Aardvarks)

Our Musical Journey (and why we LOVE Music for Aardvarks)

I’m pretty certain that my toddler son has been bit by the music bug.  This kid can surely hold a note, hum a melody, bust a move and shake maracas like a champ. While I’m not necessarily grooming him to be the next “Beibs,” I am nurturing his budding talent by giving him as much […]

Heading North West: A Pop Culture Commentary

Late last Friday night, a gaggle of gals gathered around their neighbor’s backyard patio firepit, sipping homemade peach sangria, chatting it up and going over their week’s events. Naturally, the intriguingly named love child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West came up. North West. Huh? Exactly. And have you seen the photos of the adorable […]
