A Glimpse Into Postpartum Depression

Just this week, I had the pleasure to be a guest blogger at New Parent. I want to share the post with all of my readers here at Palm Coast Macaroni Kid. The post is about Postpartum Depression. I believe it is very important to spread awareness about the illness.

Please take a few moments to click HERE to be brought directly to the post.

In my opinion, one of the best resources regarding information on Postpartum Depression is Postpartum Progress. Katherine Stone is the author and a survivor. I ...


Books, Books, and MORE Books!

No No Yes Yes, By Leslie Patricelli - Ages Toddler

Yanking the cat by tail: no NO. Gentle pat on back: yes YES. And it’s funny how dumping a bowl of food gets a very different reaction from mastering the use of a spoon.

If this is true, there must be a housing shortage for fairies. So, help out those fairies by taking time to build a fairy-friendly dwelling with your child. Fairy Houses are small ...


Project Time!

This is a project from Make and Takes!

Do you have a bunch of crayon stubs lying around? Here's a neat project to morph those old crayons pieces into chunky crayons!

  • Take the paper off all the old crayons and break them into smaller pieces.

  • Spray either a mini or regular sized muffin tin with cooking spray and place some crayon pieces into each. Notice how these aren't color coded in any way:

You can color code them if you would like or just group the colors you ...
