My mom gave me this for Christmas and I absolutely love it. Gorgeous illustrations and very sweet ideas inside. Plus it's just structured enough so that I can be creative about what I include...

This is the prettiest carrier, and fit my shoulders and figure (at 5'6") much better than the Ergo. I got it when my daughter was about nine months, two years ago - it doesn't appear to have...

This potty is great - excellent value & performance! (plus it's cute!) My 9 month old DS took to it right away. He is a big boy (30 in. tall - feet not quite on floor - & 27 lbs.) and this is...

This book feels good in your hands. The paper is heavyweight, and the illustrations flow perfectly.

To anyone looking for a carrier, BECO is the brand! I recently had purchased the Gemini, great carrier! It has everything you will ever need and want, its ergonomic, comfy, organic, made...

I heard about this when I lived in Italy, but it's been a while, and I didn't have children at the time. But the link tells all about it.

I like what I saw. To bad they don't continue this approach into the grades! Actually, it seems sort of wasted on such young children. The pre-school age child only needs play, play play! Later is when the 'project-oreinted' approach is useful IMO.

Hello,
My two year old will start a Reggio pre-school in September. I've done the research, attended the conferences and fell in love with the actual school here in Miami. We are desperate for a Waldorf here, and this seems to be the next best thing. It feels a lot like a Waldorf inspired school, so we'll see. It is unfortunate that it doesn't go beyond pre-school, but I'm a firm believer of laying an excellent foundation, and don't consider it a waste. I wish I could share more insight, but talk to me in September, and I'll share everything. I found that the books were a bit convoluted in reading, I suggest you attend a Reggio workshop, sit in the classroom with your child, and go with your gut. Keep me posted.
Good luck,
Mom in Miami
