What's up with this blog?

This blog was created to talk about cool stuff that I find as a pediatric physical therapist, an internet searcher extraordinaire, and last but absolutely not least, mama to an active, curious toddler.

As a pediatric PT, I've had the opportunity to try many different toys, games and activities with children, and I hope to maintain my professional eye for playthings that facilitate gross motor, fine motor, speech language and cognitive development AND are inclusive of children of various ages and abilities.

As an internet searcher, I'm always on the lookout for the next, latest and greatest, as well as the tried and true and old skool.

As a mama, I look high and low for cool, fun and educational playthings and activities for my daughter. Just for full disclosure, I do steer towards attachment parenting/natural family living and feel a great deal of passion for gentle parenting as well as ecological stewardship, which includes the use of natural and recyclable or biodegradable materials. So...I will most likely not be singing the virtues of plastic and/or electronic toys unless it happens to have some exceptionally redeeming value.

So there it is in a nutshell.
