Tacos are great because kids can add any toppings they like. I found a recipe on the Natashas Kitchen web site and adjusted it to the family’s liking. For my Nanny Family it’s all about the special taco sauce. Just adjust the ingredients and seasonings for the individual liking. For example, I use soft flour […]
Using a self-adhesive laminating sheet and cardboard I made this color matching game for my Nanny Kid to take on a nature hike. I had her walk around her yard and neighborhood to see if she could find petals of similar colors on the matching board. You Will Need: Cardboard Scissor and Xacto Knife Self-Adhesive […]
I love these beautiful and delicious zucchini and roasted red pepper egg bites. I saw the recipe on the erekav Instagram page but adjusted it a bit. I used liquid egg whites rather than cracking eggs. I like roasting my own red pepper but you can just buy a jar of roasted red peppers at […]
Origami is the ultimate boredom buster that can be done anytime and anywhere. Japanese paper folding (origami) has been an art form for many centuries. In Japan folding paper is an important skill for children to learn just like learning to use scissors and learning to write letters. Little kids love when I make them […]

The illustrations in “Bloom” are so stunning they inspire little ones to make their own craft jellyfish. Before reading this book I didn’t know that a group of jellyfish is called a bloom and that […]
I’m going to see the new movie “Barbie” tonight with family and friends so I bought this book for my friend who invited me to see the film. “Barbie” by Cindy Eagan is a beautifully illustrated picture book about Barbie — the most famous doll in the world — and her visionary creator, Ruth Handler. […]
I finally made a salmon recipe the kids love as much as their parents! It’s the Asian inspired marinade and attention to not overcook the fish that makes it so moist and yummy. I served it it with brown rice and cucumbers (since I let the children pick their own vegetables). The parents enjoyed cauliflower […]
While at the beach with the Nanny Kids this summer their favorite activity was going whale watching! So I got the 8-year-old supplies from Amazon to make her own mosaic whale. You can use self-adhesive mosaic tiles but we thought the transparent mosaic tiles we used with glue were prettier. She is displaying this as […]
