Kidabaloo

Games, entertainment and a visit from a Disney actress highlighted the second annual Kidabaloo Saturday at Rock Valley College in Rockford.

Kidabaloo is bringing a day of fun and activities for kids this Saturday at Rock Valley College, 3301 N. Mulford Road. Here are a few things you should know before you go.

We're in the middle of quite a presidential election, maybe you have no idea who to vote for? Let Ava help.

With the spring right around the corner we know what that means plenty of rainy days. This craft is perfect for the kiddos to fight away the boredom. Have them make Cloud Dough.

In the last couple of months I have become very thankful that I saved some of my favorite stuffed animals and toys from childhood, because now my daughter is loving them all over again. Some of her favorites are the less well known 80's toys, and it got me thinking...did anyone else love these toys as much as I did as a child?

Every parent worries about their kids. We constantly find ourselves suffering from parental guilt. Do we spend enough time with them? Are we teaching them the right life skills to be kind and successful human beings? Do they really know how much we love them? Let's stop, relax and remember; these are the 5 things that really matter to the life of a child.

As the mother of a two year old who LOVES Sesame Street, I don't know how I've missed this announcement, but's it's true, Sesame Street will now be brought to you by the letters H, B, and O starting January 16, 2016.

When school's out  for Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 15, 2016, take your kids to the Klehm Arboretum and Botanic Gardens for a fun-filled Winter Wonderland party!

Forget the cold, and get the family out for some fun this weekend. You deserve it!

It's time to test your eyesight.  Don't worry, this does not involve figuring out the color of the dress that broke the internet this week. It's way more fun that that, we promise.
