While raising my own five children, I’ve learned though both experience and research that ages 0-3 are the most crucial years for brain development. Understanding the science of brain development will make it clear just how important this time is because of the massive synaptic pruning that begins occurring at 2-3 years of age. It’s a “use it or lose it” notion that lays the foundation for how their brains will function.

We live in Michigan, one of 15 states […]
I love setting up an environment where my young preschool aged children (and older children as well) can be engaged in play based learning. I do this by setting up lots of little centers in every room that encourage creative and imaginative play with a little bit of skill based learning thrown in there as well. […]
I have tried so many different recipes for sourdough bread, and I never found anything that really worked (or that I really liked) until I stumbled across this recipe and found the perfect solution! Who needs to make loaves of bread when you can have these perfect, single size, delicious little muffins? We love eating […]
