Help Kids Play Safe With Online Educational Games

I don’t know about you, but I just don’t feel safe about having my guys hop online to surf the web. I love Kidzui, which I got to review for the Baltimore Education Examiner, but it is really for kids a few years older than mine. So, how to keep them safe and still let [...]

Funny Kid Friday

Kids. They’re funny. If the ones I know say or do something that cracks me up, I’m going to share it on Funny Kid Friday. Today’s kid story comes from little W, who was hanging out with his grandma in her computer room this morning.

Cheap Summer Day Camp Ideas

Like many budget conscious parents, we don’t have any interest in blowing thousands on summer camp. I’m home writing and could just as easily write in the park, at a playground, etc. However, the kids don’t feel the same way.

This Week’s Shopping Trip Under $50

This week, I decided to try something a little different. I bought very few processed foods and tried to make the ones I did buy organic. I did get a pack of juice drinks for school lunches and a pack of root beer, but everything else is pretty much incredibly healthy. The reason I did [...]
