Celebrate MLK Day with Little Bill


Last night, I was googling Martin Luther King Day activities for kids, and Nick Jr’s website was the best resource I came across, so I thought I would share it with you. They have a five-page printable storybook, a list of books that introduce Dr. King’s story to kids, and Q&A with parenting expert Dr. Lawrence Cohen, who offers simple steps for talking with your children about differences and diversity.

And who doesn’t love Little Bill?

Have a great day!

WFMW: Being prepared in bad weather – what works for you?

I’m declaring today backwards Works for Me Wednesday, because I want to know what works for you!

It’s cold as balls here in Ohio, and today we’re under a winter weather advisory. This morning on my way to work, I was thinking about the Big Ass Wind Storm of 2008. Andy and I were totally unprepared in terms of emergency provisions, and the same would be true if we had car trouble or whatever and were stuck in the snow.

With two kids and a type 1 diabetic in the fam, it’s probably a good idea to have a backup plan that’s better than trying to dig fruit snacks out of the floormat, should a situation arise.

When I searched google to find out what I should put in my car, though, I came up with lists of dozens of things that I wouldn’t know how to use even if I wanted to. So, I’m turning to you!

What do you keep with you in case of emergency? I know all the moms out there have some great ideas – and also some great stories – so let’s hear ’em!

And don’t forget to check out some actual WFMW tips at Rocks in my Dryer!
