How to Get Your Child Back-To-School Fresh

Bear has already started school and completed his first week of kindergarten. He quickly got used to being gone five days a week (he previously went to preschool only two days a week) and he already has a new squad of friends at school. It took some time and effort for Bear to get to his look, which impressed everyone on my Instagram and IRL: But you're probably wondering...the

Must-Read Books For Your Child’s Summer Reading

We recently enrolled Bear into a summer reading program at the library. Yeah, it's kinda late since summer is just about over and he'll be starting school very soon. But it's never too late to read or enjoy a good book! I have a small list of books I've picked out for Bear for summer reading but I also want to recommend some favorites we personally have at home.

Free and (Relatively) Cheap Kid-Friendly Things to Do in L.A.

That was probably my longest title ever on here. So, last week, I mentioned a small list of free and cheap things to do with your kid this summer.

Why The Brain Train Adventure Game Is Kinda Dope

  Bear loves his apps. And just maybe, I let him be on his games and apps a bit too much as I work around the house and catch up with other things. However, while my son is obsessed with all things Roblox and Minecraft, I do try to get him to do educational apps. But let's face it - while ABCmouse is awesome, and some kid-friendly YouTube videos are cool,

Family-Friendly Review: Giggles N’ Hugs

Sometimes, you just want to kick back and enjoy yourself while your kid goes HAM. I live near the Glendale Galleria and Bear and I had always passed this place called Giggles N' Hugs several times.
