Your guide to activities and fun things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Fort Worth, TX

Since Being Savvy: Fort Worth has only been in existence since October, I've included some posts from my colleagues around the country.  As you go through these, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

1.  Getting Ready for a Rainy Day - we have some of these in our near future, so it will be good to keep a handy list of things to do when the inevitable cabin fever strikes the household!

2.  Storytime Never Gets Old - this is one of my favorites because...well...storytime never goes out of fashion!

Then, two from my wonderful guest posters:

3. and 4. Let Reading Be Fun and It's Music to their Ears and Brains!

5.  From Kelly, our New Orleans editor, here are 10 ways to get free or cheap books!

6.  From Nicole, our Charleston editor, comes a list of money-saving ideas for parents.  Who can't appreciate this these days?

7.  From Zarlacht, our own Dallas editor, come tips on managing our children's emotions - so vital in this world of constant stimulation and action.

8.  From Aimee, our Denver editor, comes ideas on how to get your kids interested in astronomy. I love the creative ideas here to expand their minds and help them see beyond our little place in this universe.

9.  From Raechelle, our Halifax editor, comes a story that makes me cry just thinking about it. When we say goodbye to a cherished pet, friend, or loved one, sometimes us parents need a little help.  Thanks for finding this one Raechelle!

10.  And, just posted this week from Caroline, our Tampa editor, are great ideas for helping your child make resolutions for 2009! I love this one!
