The Last Weekend
This is the weekend before SCHOOL starts again....Let's make it a good one. Here are some things I thought may interest you:
What: Kids Konvention
Who: All Ages
When: Saturday, Aug. 22, 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 23, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Where: Coral Square Mall in Coral Springs
How Much: Free
Kids Konvention in Coral Square Mall offers all kinds of kid-related exhibits, giveaways, and performances. Sounds interesting to me. This is a Saturday and Sunday event.
What: A Bug's Eye View
Who: All Ages
When: Sunday, Aug. 23, 2-3 pm
Where: Secret Woods Nature Center in Dania Beach
How Much: $3 (exact change, please)
I am a firm believer that the more you expose kids to nature, the happier they will be. For this reason, I'm constantly on the lookout for nature activities and some of my favorite places in Broward are the four incredible nature centers we have. Tomorrow, at 2 pm there is a great program called "A Bug's Eye View" at Secret Woods Nature Center in Dania Beach. This is what the calendar says about the event: Discover what critters live in and around the nature center's Butterfly Island with hands-on exploration and a movie.
P.S. Don't forget about the fun Back to School events happening at Whole Foods this weekend and next weekend.

Mr. Blue's Water Safety Puppet Show
What: Puppet Show
Who: 1 to 7 year-olds (my opinion)
When: Saturday, Aug. 15th, 11 am (for additional dates see below)
Where: Learning Express Toys of Sunrise (for additional locations see below)
How Much: Free
My good friend and I took our fidgety 10 month-olds to a puppet show this weekend at the Learning Express Toys of Coral Springs. The store itself is worth checking out. The staff is so friendly and the store has an incredible selection of toys for all ages. The show was all about Mr. Blue, a fish who forgets how to swim. His friends teach him water safety lessons as they get him back in the water. K watched was enthralled from beginning to end. She did not move. The puppets were a hit with the audience. The audience members varied in age from baby to about 6 or 7 year-olds. The creator is Julie, a private swimming instructor who will have your little one swimming in less than a week. She travels all over Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach. Julie is likable, honest, and passionate about water safety, swimming, and kids. My friend and I purchased the story book about about Mr. Blue, which also comes with a DVD. A meaningful moment for me was when (after the show) a father told a personal story of how he had put swimming lessons on the back burner and later got a phone call about his daughter being in the hospital after an incident when she almost drowned. His daughter is now happily swimming after lessons with Miss Julie. When you live on a peninsula, swimming lessons aren't just fun, they can be a real life saver. Here are some other upcoming shows:

A Latte Fun
What: A Latte Fun Indoor Playground and Cafe
Who: 1 to 5 years old (in my opinion)
Where: Coral Springs
How Much: $10.00 (2 years - 6 years), $8.00 (6 months - 2 years), $5.00 (siblings)
I convinced my husband to visit an indoor playground this past weekend. It helped my case that my brother-in-law, his wife, and their kids were coming with us. My niece is 5 and my nephew is 3. We decided to visit A Latte Fun in Coral Springs. My good friend and her nine-month old baby joined us, as well. It just opened last week, and man, let me tell you, everyone and their mother was there. The place has a coffee lounge section for parents decorated with comfy couches, stylish high chairs, jazzy background music, and a huge glass panel overlooking the play area. They also have a great menu. In the lounge, there is a variety of toys for sale, many of the same toys that are available to the kids inside. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. The play area has a super fun foam pit. Right next to it is the ground-level trampoline, which I really enjoyed. Yes, I enjoyed it. K. hung out with her daddy while I frolicked, bounced, and slid with my niece. (When you go, you need allow your self the freedom to glide down the inflatable slide.) My niece and I decorated ourselves with boas, ballerina skirts, and one of those cone-shaped princess hats. Later, we played “super market”. My friend and her nine-month old enjoyed the foam pit while my nephew happily played with a little remote control car. There was only one thing I didn’t enjoy, I felt the music was too loud. With the kids playing and screaming and the music blasting, for a second there, K. was a little overwhelmed. Two things I did like, first, the comfortable parent-chairs scattered along the perimeter, good thinking, and second, the staff was very amiable and polite and there was plenty of supervision. A Latte Fun is a perfect place for anyone between the ages of 1 and 5. Or anyone who wants to remember what’s it’s like to be between the ages of 1 and 5.
P.S. Don't forget your socks.

The Whole Picture
What: Mom Workshops and Kids Club Workshops
Who: All Ages
When: See below for specific times
Where: Your local Whole Foods store
How Much: Free
We did it back in April. We let our sweet, innocent baby scream her lungs out as we sat outside the door watching the monitor, pulling our hair out, biting our nails, our bodies twitching. It’s supposed to last three to four nights according to the doctor. It took K. one long week. Finally, something clicked in her brain and she figured out that we weren’t coming to soothe her. That was her job now. I can’t say that it was easy, but I can say that it was worth it. I didn’t read a book or attend a workshop for helpful hints on how to make the process run more smoothly. But it’s good that there is a workshop. See below.
In case you have not discovered all the free events for mommies and kids at your local Whole Foods store, this post is for you. In the upcoming events, you can figure out how to set a productive bedtime routine, score free coffee and muffins, and add some new, natural, family-friendly recipes to your repertoire. The kiddos can learn about sea turtles and alligators. And of course, it’s the perfect place to pick up some fresh, organic produce.
