One of my struggles as a Mommy is using the TV as a baby-sitter. I once attempted a 30-Day Challenge where I would not use the TV at all. Well, one reason I failed is because I didn't have a lot activities for DearDaughter1 to do to fill her day. As I am working through this struggle of finding kid activity ideas, I have decided to record them here so that I will have a list to reference to for the future and for any Mommies looking for something to do with their child. Now, DearDaughter1 is only 23 months old and DearDaughter2 is only 3 months old so this ideas list will be limited to the age of my girls and will grow along with them. (October 2007)
