Oct 6, 2009, Organic Baby Tip: Communicating with Your Day Care Providers

Have you ever been disappointed with how your child's daycare provider handled an aspect of your child's care? Did you express your disappointment or bury it?

Daycare providers should always put your child's well-being first.


We've had a few questions from readers about food and menu choices and OBR has taken a stab at answering them. However, we'd love to hear about your experiences and how you would handle addressing such concerns if you were in the situation.

One mom asks:

We eat organic at home, but at daycare they provide hot meals that while very healthy, are probably not organic. Do I let it slide?

Another mom, Cynthia from Texas, is upset about the lack of hot meals and the lack of variety being served at her child's daycare.

If you chime in with your experiences and advice, you can be entered into this month's giveaway, a mask and tail set made from 100% alpaca for your child's costuming needs.

Jul 24, 2009, Organic Baby Tip: More Toddler Fun Ideas

I've recently added two more ideas for toddler fun to the site. The first idea comes from one of our readers, Debbie from New York. Debbie is courageous enough to involve her little one in real live cooking projects. You go, girl!



The second one is a recap of my family's recent visit to the Children's Museum in San Antonio. If you have a museum geared toward toddler-aged children in your town or will pass one on an upcoming vacation, I highly recommend it.

Remember you can share your toddler activity ideas and gain an entry into this month's giveaway.

Have a superb weekend!

Jul 10, 2009, Organic Baby Tip: 10 Ideas for Fun, Learning Toddler Activities

Toddler activities in my area seemed few and far between, until I started asking other parents what they were doing to keep their little ones busy. Their ideas helped spark some of my own and now I know the fun is wherever we are.

Painting, making music and reading are all fun learning toddler activities.


This article features some ideas we've come up with for toddler fun this summer. We'd also love to hear what you've been up to or have planned for your toddlers in the near future. Sharing ideas will keep the fun flowing all year long.
