The award winning game and book, I Cherish Planet Earth by Focus Bloom, makes a perfect gift this holiday season. Both the book and the game are useful tools to communicate to your child of the importance of taking care of our fragile environment. The matching card game helps sharpen memory while stimulating the visual senses with beautiful rich artwork shown on each of the 100% recycled paper board cards. Any opportunity for my 5 year old to defeat his mother with his super power memory strength is a good thing. When we can squeeze in some learning while he’s doing that, then it’s a fabulous thing!
A mixture of delight and confusion was written all over our 4 year old’s face when he first saw himself on the cover of his very own book. “That’s me? What am I doing on that?” I proceeded to read him the personalized story about the undersea life of the octopus family. We all got a good giggle out of seeing our little guy as an octopus. Written by a mom during maternity leave, this fun story with lovely illustrations is a unique keepsake for your child and sure to bring smiles all around. Mini Me’s Books let’s you easily add personalized text such as your child’s name & birth date, your child’s photo as well as the option to add photos of mom and dad. To top it all off, these children’s books are printed on environmentally and socially-friendly paper!

Our four year old has got recycling down pat along with turning the water off while brushing his teeth but I don’t think he really got the gist of why we do all this until reading one of the Earthwise books. The Earthwise Kids books and t-shirts are a great way to introduce children to the importance of eco-friendly living. Beautifully illustrated books with fun stories printed on recycled paper and soy based inks provide practical tips to help protect our fragile planet. Matching unbleached organic cotton t-shirts are a regular reminder to respect this beautiful world that we all share. No need for wrapping as gift sets come already wrapped in a reusable/biodegradable jute bag.

Both our babies loved to be massaged thanks to this informative baby massage book that I received as a baby shower gift. I have since purchased this book with some baby massage oils as a lovely shower gift for a couple of expectant moms. The soothing touch of massage not only helps to relieve gas & colic, enhances circulation and encourages relaxation but it also provides an opportunity to create a loving bond between you and baby.
A cookbook full of wholesome, simple, easy-to-follow recipes that will satisfy the whole family. Chapters include recipes for each stage of baby’s first 3 years as well as notes highlighting what baby should and shouldn’t be eating during each stage. The couscous with cauliflower and carrots hits the spot for our 2 sweet peas. When I have time (Time? Who has time?) the chicken pot pie is always a winner. Yum-yum!

Sears addresses one of today’s most controversial and worrisome questions relating to vaccinations and todays fear of autism. Sears’ goal is “to give you a balanced look at pros and cons of vaccination so that you can make an educated decision.” Sears does not advocate for or rail against vaccination, stating it doesn’t have to be an all or nothing decision-there are choices. The first 12 chapters discuss each vaccination in the childhood series, providing explanation of the relative disease, how the vaccine is made and points to assess a child’s at-risk level when considering if the vaccine is necessary. Sears does offer guidance for those who are indecisive, offering his opinion based on clinical experience and 13 years of research taken from product inserts, pediatric reference books, articles and databases. Additional chapters illuminate more controversial aspects of the debate, such as how vaccine safety is researched and what the findings are, side effects and how to minimize them, common myths and questions. As always, Sears’ tone puts readers at ease as he clearly explains medical terms and elucidates debates.
