… Keep a Hybrid Gecko?

Posted on 26. July 202127. August 2022 by lyoness

They are beautiful; they are frowned upon. Many reptile breeders admonish hobbyists not to “dilute the gene pool,” arguing that in nature, different species usually don’t mate, either. (Sometimes, they do, but generally, they live in different habitats and have different maintenance requirements, making a shared environmental niche more difficult). Reptile lovers who are against…

… Go to the Funfair With Your Toddler?

Posted on 25. July 202125. July 2021 by lyoness

The funfair is in town! No, not the Largest Fair at the Rhine River banks in Düsseldorf; this would be a number too big for my toddler, and I would fear losing him in the masses–just a local small one with one merry-go-round and some food stands, where you can buy brats, candy floss, gingerbread…

Product Review: Banana Blast

Posted on 22. July 202123. July 2021 by lyoness

Do you have a toddler who hates to lose, too? Lyons Cub definitely needs to win all the time. Also, he didn’t quite understand that the person with the most bananas wins–he gave away his bananas to the other players freely. But dang, if anybody DARED to catch the jumping monkey before he could get…

… Hire a Nanny?

Posted on 17. July 202129. September 2021 by lyoness

She couldn’t replace my late husband, but she did everything my husband would have done: From the time we met, which was three months before Lyons Cub was born, she unpacked my moving boxes with me, built cabinets and shelves with me and filled them with pottery (only to take out all the pottery once…

… Do Pretend Play on the Mall’s Ride-On Cars?

Posted on 12. July 202117. July 2021 by lyoness

It’s in the middle of summer, school break has started, but kindergarten is on and mommy has to work, so long day trips or vacations are still a no-no. Lyons Cub is getting bored, so what’s better than to take a trip to the Mall to take a ride on the ride-on machines? Lyons Cub…

Product Review: Playdough for Toddlers

Posted on 11. July 202111. July 2021 by lyoness

It’s self-explanatory–playdough is one of the best sensory toys that helps children grasp different shapes, textures, colors, and names of their constructs that I can think of. It exists since the 1930s and was originally a cleaning substance for wallpapers, and its popularity as a children’s toy rose dramatically in the 1950s through television ads….

… Feed Chickens With a Toddler?

Posted on 11. July 202111. July 2021 by lyoness

Montessori education stresses the importance of letting young children interact with animals. Several Montessori schools have their own little farms, where the children can feed, clean, and touch chickens, horses, or other kinds of domestic animals. This takes away their fear of big or loud or fast animals, gets them used to new smells and…

… Get Your Baby a Haircut?

Posted on 10. July 202111. July 2021 by lyoness

Going to the hairdresser is something special. Ideally, it’s a place where you can also talk and gossip and have some fun while getting your hair done. But with a little kiddo in tow?!? Will there be tears when the scissors approach baby’s locks? Will there be screaming when he has to release his grip…

Product Review: Pink Minnie Mouse Ride-On Plane

Posted on 7. July 202110. July 2021 by lyoness

Do you have a kiddo that likes planes? If he or she loves Minnie Mouse, that’s a plus. Lyons Cub was fascinated with the rotating, color-changing propellers on this little ride-on plane, and although he’s a bit too old and tall for it, he still enjoys zooming through the house on it. One can ride…

You’ve barely had time to nest, so many things are still missing in your nursery, maybe you haven’t even had your baby shower yet — and baby is already here!!! Mine came two months early. Lyons Cub’s due date was March 8th, and he arrived in January. Luckily, I had bought two car seats already,…
