Sounds like you're doing an excellent job encourging your kids to explore the world around them and to think like young scientists! Thanks for sharing!

I encourage my children to get involved in all sorts of science activities in school and on our own time. We visit zoos, nature centers, do science experiments, watch science TV shows...all that type of thing. It's important to get our kids excited about this subject and the first step is awareness. Thanks for doing a whole show on this important topic!

I’ve been a part of the WOOD TV8 team since 2005. As Special Projects Producer, I work side by side with Maranda making things happen behind the scenes. I coordinate Maranda’s Park Parties each summer and produce a variety of station broadcasts and events through out the year. I also serve as the producer of Maranda’s weekly half-hour show, Where You Live. I love the variety of my job and getting to be a part of the impact Maranda is making on kids in our community! Outside of work, I've been married for seven years to my husband John and we have two beautiful daughters, Sophia and Stella. When I'm not busy trying to keep up with the kids, I spend "me time" reading fashion or celebrity magazines, sneaking in some good reality television, walking around Reeds Lake with girlfriends and exploring new restaurants with my hubby. Inspirations for my blog come from my daily life as a busy working mom -- trying to juggle a full time job and be a full time mom to a spitfire five year old and a new baby.
