Hot on the trail of my cool and healthy summer treats post, I have a delicious recipe to share: Mojito Rasberry Paletas! Paletas are fruit pops sold in Mexico...

He got very frustrated with the speech therapist and I can't say that I blame him. She was annoying me to. She would ask him to identify something and he would say it although perhaps not well. But if he didn't say it to her satisfaction she would continue asking 4 to 5 times until he was confused (since he … [Read more...]
Tru Kid Organic Hair Care for Kids
Okay I really think I am in love with the TruKid line of natural organic products for kiddos. Yes, I have almost tried every product in their line-up now and it is indeed love at first use.
