I am always looking for fun ways to get kids in the kitchen even when they are babies and toddlers. Even if they aren’t 100% involved, finding ways for them to help is important to me. With my #NutritionStartsEarly campaign, I wanted to show that food was an important start to each day but also…
This past week in tot school, I had the opportunity to introduce and teach patterns to my almost 15 month old. The beauty of being able to teach patterns is that our entire lives revolve around them! What I mean by this is that the basic definition of a pattern is something that repeats and…
When we first went started eating organic and non-GMO, it seemed like we took a real hit in our pocket book and that it was no money saving meal plan at all. We took it in stride as we decided that if food is what sustains us daily, we would choose to budget more money…
Week two was full of teaching shapes and exploring the wonderful world that is made up of so many different shapes and in all different sizes! Teaching shapes seems to be a bit easier than teaching colors because it’s a finite idea. There is no gray area like colors can have different shades and it’s…
With kids, it is inevitable that there will be at least one puzzle with missing pieces. I see where many people choose to just throw them away, but I URGE you to find other ways to utilize puzzles. And at the very least, please donate them for people like me to find and re-purpose. Replacing…
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…
Goodness, Gentleness, & Kindness It is hard to disagree with the fact that as people we should all be moral in some capacity. Many times morality is rooted in our ability to be good and to be kind. But morality is something that can be accomplished beyond faith or religion. This means that in training…
