When I started to write my blog, I already had some following from the parenting forum I frequent. In a way, I had my online and IRL friends in mind when I shared the insights I gained from reading books and Internet articles. See, I am probably more of a theoretician that a practitioner in all areas of my life. I think of "what" and I need other people to tell me "how". That's why I enjoyed visiting other blogs and through one of my favorite blogs called The Wonder Years I came across ABC and 123site a few days ago just in time for their summer picnic extravaganza. ABC and 123 is also relatively new, but their idea of harnessing collective mind is positively brilliant. Heck, I wish I thought of this :) Anyway, I am writing this post as an introduction of my blog to their picnic, so I'd better get on with the suggested topics:
All about you and your family. You can learn basic facts but reading through "10 Fun Facts About Me" page
How did you come up with your blog title? I am boring. Couldn't come up with something more engaging and I am really interested in teaching young children.
What types of activities do you most enjoy doing with your children? My daughter is 2.5 years old, but from the very early on we enjoyed reading together. It's still something that we do every day. I also love going on field trips and help her discover the world around her.
What is your favorite picnic activity and food? We are Europeans, so apples, cheese, bagette and wine sound about right for a summer picnic. OK, make that apple juice for our daughter.
Favorite activity posts (I assume my own :))

Thanks for joining the picnic! I am so glad you found our site and look forward to looking around yours a bit more too. Yeah for reading with our kiddos. It is my favorite activity to help my 3 little ones learn too and certainly easy to put together and take with us on the go! Looking forward to learning more about you, and with you, this summer!
I'm so glad you are enjoying ABC, it's a labor of love and we're enjoying it a lot. There is so much going on out there that's it's nice to have someplace to gather things up. We haven't tired Hi Ho Cherry-o but it was one of my favorites from childhood so if you two and half year old can play it I'm going to give it a try with my nearly 3 year od. Have you tried playing memory with all the cards face up? it becomes more of a matching game, but gives lots of opportunities for conversation and your daughter won't get as frustrated.
I enjoyed reading your posts, especially the one on play.
Glad to meet you in blog world! I think you summed up ABC and 123 brilliantly! I think a lot of them too! My daughter is also 2 1/2. I have a baby too, so our field trips are very limited!
I like your blog - I'm enjoying reading back through your posts! I'll be back. (And why does bread, cheese, and wine always sound so good! And I don't even like wine, ha - wish I did!)
I'm here from the summer picnic. It was nice to meet you!
Hi and nice to meet you!! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Can't wait to see everyone's ideas for the picnic :)
Can't wait to have your type of picnic for myself. Maybe next summer (I'm prego). Your daughter is such a cutie!
Nice to meet you via the picnic. Your blog looks great and I'm excited to come back and see the things you are up to.
Great to meet you! It sounds like you do many fun things with your daughter :)
[...] ABC and 123 Learning Cooperative is a great idea and a wonderful place where all educational bloggers unite. I joined them and wrote about them here. [...]
