After finishing off this sprinkle jar of sprinkles for some rice crispy treats my son asked if “we could keep it for our kitchen”. I said yes immediately and washed it out, but as I was drying it I had a better idea. I had my 2yo picked out 5 colors, then he filled a […]

Little puzzle problems…
If your kids are anything like ours they love puzzles, which means you probable just accumulated a bunch more. It also amazes me how many times they will do the same one over and over also. Over the years I feel I’ve finally found a real system that works for us. All the little 24-48 […]

Baby Wearing
I want to start this by saying there are two VERY important rules when babywearing. ONE never ever have the baby’s face pressed into your skin or the fabric. The face must be clear of anything. TWO your baby’s head should be in kissing range. Meaning without lifting your baby you should be able to […]

After Nap time Snack
Nap time is a family favorite around here for everyone, but when the kiddos wake they are just ‘staaaarving’. So to avoid melt downs while waiting the extra 1 minute for me to cut the snack up I do it before they go down. I toss it onto a large plate and they all share. […]
