OMG I have the same problem. Somebody please help...the addiction (escapism???) is real

August 15, 2018

About 30 min per day. We loved Goodnight Moon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Chicken Soup with Rice, Corduroy even though it's super creepy, Dear Zoo and practically all other lift a flap books, Goodnight Gorilla, The Snowy Day and Whistle for Willie, Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See, We're Going on a Bear Hunt and so many more

I feel ya. The only thing I've been able to make work is waking up earlier and getting on an elliptical at home. I try to do 30-45 min then jump into the shower and get ready for the day. It was a bit pricey to buy but well worth the investment. There's no way I would be able to squeeze in a trip to the gym and it's just too disruptive mid-day.

I would absolutely let the parents know. They may or may not want to discipline their kids but more than that, it's to show your kids that you've got their back.

Have you considered the opposite when it comes to play? Maybe if he can let off some steam, he'll better be able to sit down to study? They get so little recess / phys ed these days, it might help him to break into a sweat first.

To be totally honest, I'm totally over IG moms. They're all in it for the sponsorship $$ and have nothing of real value to say. That said, foodie, yoga, and traveling accounts are still better than the others who just stay home and plop their kids here and there with the product of the day.

My kids love coming here. You would never ever guess what a gem there is inside when you're just standing on Wilshire, but once you're in...ambulances, ball pits, pirate ships, play cafes, water games - there is just so much!!

Really fun place to explore for little kids (under 10 crowd). Equal parts science + play and the outdoor area is beautiful! Plus the gorgeous bridge on the way to get over here!! Kids squeal every time.

Used them for at-home percussion classes for my boys and the instructor was excellent...punctual, patient, and friendly.

No to chairing a committee at school....requires way too much time for me.

Well, I'm partial to Elodie. But also Esme and Ella.

I agree with Maya. Girl drama is the worst. You just have to keep breaking up groups and reorganizing them with different girls in different roles each time (someone might be a leader for one project then in an assisting role).

I used to bike for my commute. I never had any problem but to be honest, it really depends on where you live. I felt comfortable when we were living in Amsterdam....clearly marked bike lanes and practically everyone is on a bike. But in LA? I wouldn't dare!

Hi there. Any suggestions for a warm weather holiday over spring? International preferred but not too far. After all, 3 yr old! A good mix of fun, easy activities + relaxing would be great.
