Though it’s an abstract concept, teaching colors is one things we all teach our children at an early age. One of the reasons why I chose for it to be first in this year’s learning themes is because it spans all things, meaning we can continue to talk about colors in each of the other…
Whether we are parents of extremely spirited and busy kids or we travel a lot (or maybe both), having lots of busy bag ideas is a must. Having several choices of ways to keep kids and toddlers entertained is nice, but it can be expensive. That’s why I have tried to gather materials from the…
Before I was a mother, the idea of having a toy rotation was silly. I mean, in my mind at the time, the more choices, the better. And if you bought it then you should absolutely let your kids play with it! But now, I know that having toy rotation ideas keeps kids more interested…
So many family traditions and memories are centered around food, and rightly so. Food is what sustains us, so memories around making food or sitting together at the table are important. However, I am a firm believer in eating healthy and responsibly. I do not want to feed my child refined carbs or sugars, especially…
Keeping children safe is always the goal of parents. So when car seats come into question as we are speeding down the road at 25, 45, and even 75 miles per hour, it’s important to make sure they’re properly restrained. Because let’s be honest, we’re driving faster and more distracted than any other generation before…
I took on the thousand dollar baby budget challenge as posed by my husband last year. How did this happen? Well, My husband and I found out last year that I was pregnant with out first child. At the time I was teaching high school, but my entire life I have known that I wanted to…

But morality is something that can be accomplished beyond faith or religion. This means that in training…
There are several ways to live greener without making drastic changes. It just takes a little thought, a little effort, and maybe some planning. Especially with kids, we can make big changes for the long-term ecological impact. I hope that you will join me in making some little changes that will reduce your family’s carbo…
The holidays are just around the corner which means many of us will be buying gifts for our families. I for one love the holidays as a time to spend with family and to give gifts to those that I love, because it is my love language! However, I am of the opinion that much…
Potty training is the messy, exhausting, and glorious goal of parents across the country and around the world. The average age of complete potty training is 3 years old for boys and girls.And when I think of how long that really is, I think “I do not want to wash diapers for 3 years for every child…
There is much talk about fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, and dexterity when it comes to development. However, I found that as a mother of a much younger child, most of the activities were not suitable for her. Even with hawk eyes, little tiny pieces are way too easy to get swallowed. Here’s a list…
