Want to show and teach your kiddos that active lifestyles are fun, build confidence, and are a great way to meet new friends? Join the Healthy Kids Running Series in Cedar Park this spring! No matter your size, your speed, your athletic ability, or your competitive spirit, everyone fits right in. It is not a popularity contest; it is not ‘win at all costs.’

Register your child for the Healthy Kids Running Series, a five week running program in the spring and fall for kids from Pre-K to 8th grade. 

March is the month most summer camp providers open their summer camp registration. Austin has a plethora of camps and many of them are filling up fast. 

In the coming weeks leading up to summer, we'll be introducing different camps in our Summer Camp Series in order to give you an idea of what's available, and to help you find the right camp for your kiddos.

Today's featured camps are Creative Action Summer Camps.

Most people know a home remedy or two to stay healthy or fight a sore throat, a runny nose, or other unwelcoming symptoms that affects their health. 
This year during the flu season, "elderberry syrup" became a buzz word and stores such as Whole Foods, Sprouts, or Natural Grocers were sold out of elderberry syrup for weeks. 

A local Round Rock Mama, who makes her own elderberry syrup, explains what elderberry syrup is all about and how it can help you keep your family healthy.

Time for some spring cleaning and to stock up on clothes, shoes, toys, games, books, and more for your kiddos!

Twice Loved Spring Children's Consignment Sale, sponsored by Austin Parents of Multiples, will be back in April.  And while the organization serves parents of multiples, all shoppers and buyers are welcome.

We are super excited to announce that we’ve rolled out our new Camp Guide!

The past few months we’ve been researching and reviewing camp guides currently available for camps in and around Austin and found that most guides are available in either print, as a PDF, or simply as an online list with no search functionality.

Many camp providers offer multiple camps and camp sessions for different age groups, with different themes, at different dates, at multiple locations, and at different prices.

So, to make it easy for you, we made the Live Grow Play Austin Camp Guide fully searchable by interest, camp type, camp location, camp dates, age of campers, and price. Check it out.

You may have heard about the student-led movement March For Our Lives whose mission and focus it is to demand that a comprehensive and effective bill be immediately brought before Congress to address the gun violence issues that are rampant in our country.

On March 24, the kids and families of March For Our Lives will take to the streets of Washington, DC to demand that their lives and safety become a priority.

And so does Austin.

Here's everything you nee to know about March For Our Lives - Austin.

This Mom just won the “Best Mom Ever-Award” for throwing the “Best Birthday Party Ever” for our now 5-year old! 
I must say, it feels good to be the Best Mom Ever, and I’ve been using this award a few times since the birthday party, as a reminder when things weren’t going that great.

Best thing about it? The birthday party was at our house. Read how I pulled it off and how you can enter to win an awesome bounce house for your little one's party.

Does or did your kids have a Lovey? Both of our girls did. In fact, they still have theirs. They sleep in their beds, together with 15 stuffed animals and barbies, little rocks, beads, pieces of paper, acorns (?!?!?), coins, an occasional goldfish, and other things you wouldn’t believe.

Anyway, friends of ours recently welcomed their precious little baby boy into the world and we got him an awesome Baby Jack Learning Lovey. The lovey is a super soft little sensory tag blanket, perfect for cuddling, playing, chewing, and rubbing the ribbons, which are sewn closed to prevent little fingers from getting intertwined in ribbon loops. Read more about the lovey, the good cause that comes with it, and how you can enter to win one of four Baby Jack Learning Loveys.

Last year we wrote an article about ‘Kid Entrepreneurs From Austin And How To Become A Kidpreneur’ where we highlighted some of Austin's very own young entrepreneurs who turned their passion into business. We also listed some organizations and businesses that will help your little one get started. Today we’d like to introduce you to $tart-Up! Kid's Club, a non-profit that provides students with free access to entrepreneurial education. Learn more about $tart-Up! Kid's Club.
