A Playdate for the Girls Part III

Lunch time was a the most hectic part of the girls’ play date. They all wanted to eat at once, which is no great surprise when three infants are involved. This whole situation was slightly stressed by the fact that we only have one high chair and a tableless bumbo. The most upset girl got the high chair. I gave her some bits of cheese and frozen organic cheese to tide her over while I made her peanut butter toast. My daughter seemed to be the least upset (and it is no wonder being in her own house) so I … Continue reading →

How the Candidates Compare – Women’s Health Care

It has been said that women, and their votes, will play a big role in the upcoming Presidential Election. This directly relates to each of the candidates plans regarding women’s health care. It is important to be an informed voter, so here is some information that will help you to know what Romney/Ryan will do, and what Obama/Biden will continue to do. The Romney website has absolutely nothing to say about women’s health care. This is unfortunate, because it means that voters cannot go to the official Romney website and use it as a resource to learn about what Romney/Ryan … Continue reading →

There is always a wide variety of topics that appear on the Special Needs Blog. This week, there are blogs that update previous news stories, information about a Zombie Walk, and places to find inclusive playgrounds that can accommodate kids with special needs.

Fantasyland Expansion Opening Dates

It’s 2012: where’s the new Fantasyland? Three years ago when I first read about all of Disney World’s planned expansions for the Magic Kingdom, I was so excited that for a moment I could close my eyes and almost imagine being there. That is the Disney World I always imagined as a child, and I only have to wait for three years, and there it’ll be. Well, we’re halfway through 2012 now, but it seems like little has happened. The biggest expansion-related news to come out of a Disney Park has been about “Cars Land” out in Anaheim. We all … Continue reading →

A Playdate with Exercise

As the summer heats up, we have been scheduling our play dates earlier in the day if they involve being outside in the heat. This past week the temperatures reached highs of just over one hundred degrees but we were able to avoid the discomfort of such high temperatures by going out early in the morning. On one of our recent playdates we made plans to go to the only lake within the city’s limit. This lake has a lot of nice features. It has a beach for swimming and sand for playing as well as a good sized playground. … Continue reading →

Does Anyone Still Play Marbles?

The other day, I was out in the driveway playing with my son, Dylan. While we were out there, he found a marble buried in the dirt. It is not uncommon for us to find bits and pieces of things buried here and there in our yard, as the folks who had our house before us were in the habit of burying rubbish out there. Dylan was excited about this “tiny ball” that he had found and he set about throwing it all over the place and losing it numerous times. As Dylan played with the marble, I realized that … Continue reading →

Another Playdate

Posted on by

As the weather has gotten more and more summer like, our son has been wanting to spend more and more time out of doors. The only problem is that we live on a fairly busy street with practically no yard. So in order to give our son a good amount of safe outdoor time and a someone his own age to play with, I planned a playdate with some of our friends. For our playdate we were heading to a turn of the century era farm and town set up to be as realistic and functional as possible in the … Continue reading →

Playing the Airfare Game

Timing is everything when you are trying to land an amazing deal on airfare. This is especially true if you are booking online. Whereas there are dozens of travel websites out there, convenience and accessibility doesn’t make snagging a rock bottom deal less complicated. For example, many travelers scoop up airline seats thinking they’ve scored a super deal, only to discover that two days later prices plummeted by 30 percent or more. So how do you win at the high-stakes game of airfare poker? According to travel experts, there are two main strategies that come into play when searching for … Continue reading →

A Play Date

Every once in a while, a few times a month, I try to schedule a time for my son (and daughter) to get together with other children their age. Most often our play dates are with their cousins (brother and sister) the boy is ten months older than my son and the girl is four weeks older than my daughter (who is only three months old). Every few months I plan a play date with one of my long time friends, who has three boys. Recently, I was able to plan a play date with a mom that I met … Continue reading →
