We have a lot to do in the next two weeks: Countdown to the first day of school
Can you hear the clock ticking? It's counting down the days (only 14 now, for us) until the start of school. Tick...tock...we're almost there! You've probably noticed your neighborhood school getting spiffed up and the enormous displays of school supplies at all the stores. And am I the only one who feels compelled to buy many boxes of crayons, whether we need them or not, just because ... Read more >

Today I'm super-pleased to bring you a guest post from children's music writer Stefan Shepherd. Stefan writes Zooglobble, a blog about kids and family music, and is a co-creator of the Fids and Kamily Music Awards. When I write about kids music, I usually focus on recorded music for kids.

Three Days in and around Atlanta: Day Three
After two days of exploring our great city, you might be ready to escape the hustle and bustle. Luckily, Atlanta is not far from mountains, beautiful state parks, and some far-flung suburban lakes. One of our favorite get-aways just outside the city is Lake Acworth at Cauble Park. With a beach area, boat rentals, a sizable playground and picnic area, this is an easy place to spend a ...

Fourth of July Traditions Atlanta-Style
One of our family traditions when I was growing up was a Fourth of July picnic at my relatives' farm in Iowa. It was only about 30 minutes from our house, but it seemed like a world away from. There were pigs and cows and cornfields. There was a huge yard where we played softball, and a big potluck mid-day meal. Getting there involved driving on gravel roads (which have since been ...

Layover Lifesavers: A Preschooler's Guide to the Atlanta Airport
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is kind of like your aunt in California who has been married and divorced numerous times and keeps changing (or adding to) her name.

Minivan Rotation: Summer Playlist
Once upon a time, in the not-too-distant past, I wrote mainly about kids' music. In my quest for kids' music that was also enjoyable for grown-ups, I accumulated piles of CDs, DVDs, and mp3s. It would be my dream to have every kids' music track in our collection sorted and tagged, so I could easily pull a playlist of songs about school or food or art or dogs. That would have made today's ... Read more >
