Earth Day is April 22. You can celebrate in a variety of ways, but the best way is to educate your children on the benefits of taking care of the Earth. It's Earth Day! (Little Critter) is another in an extensive series of books by Mercer Meyer celebrating different holidays. In this story Little Critter learns about climate change and what's happening to the earth. You and your little one can spread a blanket out under a tree, enjoy the sounds of nature and a quiet time together while learning about ways to help the planet. That's real quality time.

You might be thinking, "Why is a CD featured on a parenting website?" Because Mother's Day will be here before you know it and it's best NOT to leave this stuff to the last minute. By now, you have surely heard of the amazing singer Adele. She is to CD sales, what Oprah is to publishing. Her amazing voice is bringing back old fashioned CD sales like crazy. Hits like "Rumor has it" and "Someone like you" are playing virtually non stop. If you want to make sure your mom is listening to the latest and greatest music, be sure to pick up Adele 21.

Mother's Day will be here before you know it. If you know a mom that loves to read, play games and download apps, you might want to put the Kindle Fire on the top of the gift list. The Kindle Fire features fast, powerful performance. If your favorite mom likes to read, she can choose from more than 1 million titles. If movies are more her thing, she can pick from more than 800,000 films. You can be certain her favorite will be among the choices. She can even stream music while browsing the web or read books while downloading videos. That's multi tasking that I am sure any mom would prefer.

The time is here to start filling Easter Baskets. If you have a Thomas fan in your house, then you will love this Easter themed Thomas train. It's made from real wood and has magnets on either end to connect to other trains in the set. It's painted in the familiar Thomas blue and will brighten any child's face on Easter morning. The best part is it's more fun than a basket full of candy.

I'm not sure who likes this website more, me or the kids. It's great to watch Santa on his journey around the world. NORAD tracks Santa on his journey through many different countries. It's a great way to celebrate the holidays and teach your children about different parts of the world. As you scroll over each destination, you can teach your children about different holiday customs. It's fun and educational.

Santa. He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake. How is that possible? He has a little help from his friends. Millions of children know the Elf on the Shelf is watching them and will report who is naughty or nice to Santa. Your children can enjoy this tradition and have great memories for years to come. This Elf on the Shelf kit includes a hardcover book and a friendly elf to help you with your Christmas preparation. Your children will love the rhymed poem and you might actually find that their own mischief is curtailed under the watchful eye of the elf. If only we could have an elf for everyday of the week.
