A few months ago I was in Bangkok and had the opportunity to hang out with travel artist Elizabeth Briel.
Not only did she enlighten me about @BKKFatty (we ate a lot together), Barcamp Bangkok, and her interesting experiences as a traveler, she gifted me a children’s book that she illustrated with her cyanotype prints.

Spending time outdoors has health and cognitive benefits for kids.

Coghlan’s Kid’s Bug-Eye Headlight is a low-cost (Retail $9) way to see nature in a different light (5 points for the pun!!).

In 2006, Papa Most Travelled was stricken with a mosquito-borne illness called Hemorrhagic Dengue.
After a few days of severe stomach pain and headache, he vomited blood, fainted, cracked his skull on the bathroom sink, and was taken to a hospital an hour away in Thailand.

I remember my “bicycle under the Christmas tree” moment. I was 5-years-old and it had a banana seat and a plastic Snoopy basket. And training wheels. Later it met an untimely death when I left it in the driveway and it lost a fight with the station wagon.
Did you know training wheels are “out”? [...]

Jojo (age 6) had been saying things about how he wished we lived on a farm (I think he read a book or something that inspired him), and Deeds (age 3) is a [...]

My five year old son LOVES our LeapFrog Leapster Explorer Learning Game System.
He loves it so much that it has become a great behaviorial incentive.
If you play your cards right during the school week, well, young man, you just might find yourself playing Leapster Explorer on Saturday. Yes indeed.
