AlphaMom is one of my favourite blogs, and they have a nice newsletter that I subscribe to.
This week they had a couple of travel tips that I thought was worthwhile adding to my travel section.
Through this recent post I discovered a good site for travel tips and deals: http://www.gliider.com/travel
Just discovered this fabulous website :Goodie Two Shoes.
The offer really interesting looking party packs, activity boxes and “jet-setter” activity boxes packed with interesting things.
Just placed an order in the hope it might be possible for L’s birthday party on Saturday.
“Every year since 1952, the Book Review has asked a panel of judges to select 10 books from among the several thousand children’s books published that year.”

Here you will find original and classic children’s audio stories. Every other week, The Story Home will offer a brand new story read to you by a very special storyteller named Alan, for FREE!
Ooh, what great ideas for Halloween!
Found via one of my new favourite blogs; Hostess with the Mostess
Play and Learn Family Activities from Fisher Price.
This looks like a really interesting site, you can choose activities based on the age of your children – great organisation and navigation on a website by the way.
This special vanilla dough handles like modeling clay, but it also makes delicious cookies. Use this activity to strengthen your child’s alphabet skills, to make place cards for children’s birthday parties, or just to make a delicious treat.
Forget about restrictive cookie cutters – follow this recipe, I’m sure it will assist in letter recognition.

As spring hit us in full force, the urge to plant and create in the garden has inspired us to get our hands dirty. I found this great book for kids this past week and have found it really useful and inspiring. Great ideas to be found for kids to execute. Available at Exclusive Books.
