SwaRai Mommy: Saint Louis Zoo with the Boychild
Yesterday(read about it here), I wrote about traveling with my toddler. Today, I’m going to talk about our trip to the Saint Louis Zoo. My son loves the zoo but he’s been to the one in Chicago a million times, so I thought it would be fun to take him to another one in another state. Since I’ve never been to the zoo in STL, I thought it was something the boychild would love to do and boy was I right. With over 18,000 animals the Saint Louis Zoo has a lot for visitors to see. We visited the zoo … Read More

Swa-Rai Mommy: Must Have Packing List When Traveling with Toddlers
The boychild had been asking me to take him on a vacation for a while. The funny part is, I kept wondering what exactly did he need a vacation from since apparently the life of a pre-schooler is so hard. After ignoring several requests, I finally gave in and decided to take the boychild on his first vacation. Part of the reason I had been avoiding the issue was because I wasn’t quite sure if he would behave long enough for me to take him anywhere far from the house. I love my boy but sometimes I want to punch … Read More

The boychild is getting older and is always looking to try new things. I’m constantly looking for ways to occupy his inquisitive mind.

Swa-Rai Mommy: It’s National Boys & Girls Club Week!
When The Boys and Girls Club of America come to mind, I can’t help but have fond memories of my childhood. I will never forget in 1990 when the Boys and Girls Club opened up in my neighborhood. I remember running home telling my mom about this new place for kids and going on and on about how I had to become a member. When she told me no, I was crushed, we simply couldn’t afford it. I remember going past everyday wishing I could be apart. Everyday after school, I would stand at the club’s door like a sad puppy, … Read More

McDonald’s Moms Nutrition Workshop
Last Friday, I was invited to attend the McDonald’s Mom Nutrition Workshop and Fish McBites Product Sampling event. The boychild is a huge McDonald’s fan so I was excited to learn how McDonald’s and healthy eating could go hand in hand. When we think of McDonald’s we often think of fast food, that’s not always healthy for you. I can’t lie, at one point the boychild was eating more Happy Meals than I care to admit to because of my busy schedule. Then, I began to feel guilty about him eating fast food on a regular basis so our visits … Read More
