Editor’s Note: Congratulations to Michelle Stern! Her business, What’s Cooking, was featured in Parents magazine!
Parents Magazine listed What’s Cooking as a great source for Kids’ Cooking Gear!  Their article featured “Whiskie,” a whimsical whisk designed for little hands.  The handle is shaped like an egg, and is hard to resist, even for adult chefs!

You won’t catch me filling the landfill with by-products from my kids’ school lunches this year… at least most of the time. While it is hard to resist the convenience of the individually wrapped cheese stick or fruit leather, most of the foods that we pack for our lunches this year will be stored in […]

My review copy of Michael Recycle landed on my front porch just in time for an afternoon playdate… and ended up being the topic of conversation for the rest of the afternoon. The kids, ages 5 through 8, loved the bold coloring of the fantastic illustrations and found the writing to be hilarious!

“My Bag and Me” is a new book, released from Penton Kids Press just in time for Earth Day, 2008. Shaped like a grocery bag, this board book is just the thing to get toddlers excited about going green at the market.
This story follows a little boy on a shopping trip with his mother and […]

At our local elementary school, we recently began a program called Cancel-A-Car that encourages families to take action at home to offset carbon emissions from cars. After the school-wide launch assembly, where a mama polar bear and her cub discover that their home is melting, the kids were excited to learn what they could to […]

It happened! Finally! A cookbook for fun, delicious, AND healthy recipes for kids that uses an honest to goodness approach to feeding kids real foods, as they were meant to be. The Toddler Cafe by Jennifer Carden is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the world of kids’ cookbooks.
