Kids Health Notes healthy food give-away: Envirokidz Cereals

I’ve always believed in a healthy breakfast, but with such a busy lifestyle, most of the time dry cereals are the staple - they’re easy to prepare. Unfortunately, not all cereals are made equal. Most of the brands I find in the grocery are just full of sugars.
I’m also of the conviction that nothing beats […]

Kids Health Notes give-away: More children’s picture books - winners

Thanks everyone, for joining my book give-away of the children’s picture books!
Isn’t reading fun! Even when they’re very young, you can tell how receptive children are when you read to them. Babies coo and smile, their eyes grow bigger when they look at someone read to them. And the older they get, the better […]

I’m talking about the newly opened Toyota Children’s Learning Garden, a pocket park at 603 East 11th Street, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
It’s NOT a playground, but a garden. And […]
