School Lunch Ideas--What to Pack for Kids
Lunches seem to be one of the things that us parents fret about over and over again. Between trying to include healthy foods, and picky eaters, sometimes we're at our wits end.
I have one child who eats peanut butter and jelly or hard-boiled eggs. I have another who takes something from the freezer to microwave at school (usually things that are about the same quality as the cafeteria food) or turkey wraps. My littlest also enjoys the same food day after day: slices of deli meat, a slice ...
Boring School Lunch? Nope! Packing Fun Lunches
Bento Lunches--Fun to Eat
As the school year approaches, I know I am going to be packing a lot of lunches! My kids get tired of the same old things each day, so I've decided to get creative. I discovered the art of packing Bento lunches and thought it looked like so much fun.
However, my kids are picky. There is no way they'd eat any of the traditional Japanese foods--not even the rice. But I loved the concept of packing lunches in reusable containers- no plastic bags to throw away, no ...
Ideas for Toddler and Preschooler Tooth-brushing
Tooth-brushing Tricks for Toddlers and Preschoolers
Turn nighttime fights into nighttime fun (usually)
Pajamas, potty, brush teeth, bed, story, and songs. That's our nighttime routine (now that my little is potty trained anyway). It seems simple, but it is rarely so.
Although I let them brush their own teeth as soon as they can, it is important for mommy or daddy to get a turn to make sure their teeth are well-cleaned. This is true for a long while--until the age of 5 or so depending on the child.
I have never been sure why ...
Allergies in August--Allergies and Kids
Allergies can affect school performance but you can help!
Did you know that Ragweed begins to bloom in mid-August, making August 15th the unofficial start of Ragweed Season? 36 million people across the country are seasonal allergy sufferers. Once exposed to ragweed, allergy sufferers often experience sneezing, runny noses and swollen, itchy, watery eyes. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis, commonly called "hay fever," can have a major impact on a person's quality of life including their ability to function at school or work. Facts!
- A Ragweed plant produces one billion pollen grains per season
- Grains can travel up to ...
Back-to-School Check List
Make sure you've got everything your child needs
No matter where you live, if you have kids in the public school, and most private schools, they are going back to school next week.
Time is short. Most of you have probably accomplished the majority of the back-to-school preparations. If, like me, you still have a few things you've been waiting to finish, here is a bit of a master-list to check against.
Schoolwork in Summer?
- Check the school-recommended summer reading list and make sure your child read at least one of them.
- Finish any outstanding summer assignments ...
Tax Free Week in Connecticut 2011--August 21-27
Now that all clothing is taxed at the 6.35% sales tax (that was a change in the tax bill passed by Governer Malloy and the legislature--clothing items and shoes under $50 used to be exempt from sales tax), a tax-free week for clothes shopping can put a little money back in your pocket.
The tax-free clothing week in Connecticut lasts from today, Sunday, August 21st, through Saturday, August 27th. Almost all clothes and shoes under $300 will be exempt from sales tax for this week only.
Combine that with ...

Emergency Preparedness for Parents
Some special things to consider as parents in an emergency
I have detailed some things my family is doing to prepare for Hurricane Irene.
Check if any of those are a good idea for you, too. It's more detailed than the generic ideas that have been populating news reports.

Pink Eye
September is Children's Eye Health Month
According to the American Journal of Infection Control, more than 164 million school days are missed annually in U.S. public schools due to the spread of infectious diseases. An astonishing 3 million of those school days are lost as a result of acute conjunctivitis, also known as “pink eye.”
In recognition of September’s “Children’s Eye Health Month,” the American Academy of Ophthalmology wants to teach parents and educators how to prevent the spread of pink eye in the classroom.
“Pink eye is all too common amongst children ...
