Ever wonder why the digital wrist watch was invented?  Because telling time on an analog watch can be difficult at times, especially for young learners.  What's even more difficult are those elapsed time math problems that teachers continue to ask..."if Billy left home at 8:45 AM on a 6.5 hour train trip to New York, what time will Billy arrive?"

For a math problem such as this, it's often helpful to have a visual guide.  That's why the Watch It! Elapsed Time Clock from Educational Insights was created.  This teacher-invented learning tool is the simplest, clearest way to teach elapsed time...and it doesn't even use batteries!

I thought that maybe on this Toddler Tuesday, I would travel off the beaten path of cute baby pics and videos, to bring you a few tips regarding making your own baby food at home.  You see, somewhere along the way I got it into my head that I would never serve Riley any store bought baby food.

I had always heard how expensive that stuff was and how easy making your own baby food really is.  Also, I knew I was going to be a stay-at-home mom when I had Riley, and so I thought this could also be a great way for me to contribute to our family budget and save us a little money at the same time!

I was shocked and surprised at just how easy it really is and also how inexpensive!  The great thing about it is that I know exactly what is going into her food and I feel good knowing that it is extremely fresh too!  For any parent who may be thinking about making your own baby or toddler food, I'm passing on the tips and tools of the trade right here:
