My little girl just turned one in May. Ever since her older brother was born, I toyed with the idea of using cloth diapers. They are so stinking (pun intended) cute, and I had heard tell of how they can save you a couple thousand dollars during the diapering years, plus the whole they-are-good-for-the-environment thing. But, I never actually did it. My first was in disposable diapers for his entire diapering career. When my little girl was born, my first was still in diapers and just barely over a year old, so cloth diapering seemed...

Today I just wanted to share a SUPER simple {and cheap} Project that will keep your toddler busy for hours {okay, maybe not HOURS but at least one hour, for sure}. When our little family first moved to Florida, we moved into a two bedroom apartment. Which was just the right size for our family of three. But moving a one year old across the country when he is used to having tons of cousins and a yard was a hard thing to adjust to. Plus, Florida is HOT. We moved in August which is about as hot as hot can be! So, we were stuck inside a little...
I know that a lot of people focus on teaching their toddlers how to sing the alphabet and how to recognize shapes and colors, but I feel like there are WAY more important things to teach little kids. While we do plenty of the alphabet singing and color saying, I like to try and teach my little ones practical life skills as much as possible. I am always looking for...
My son is almost two and a half years old, and he is SO interested in letters. We probably sing the alphabet song 100 times a day. His favorite puzzle is an alphabet one and whenever he sees a sign, he says “b mommy!” (all letters are “b” to him right now). When we read books he likes me to point to each letter and tell him what it is. I have decided to use his interest in letters to my advantage. He will sit and let me show him letters for about 20 minutes, which is a long time for a two year old. I have...
I try hard to incorporate some learning activities into my son’s day. He’s young (25 months) so there isn’t much I can do but I have figured out that he is starting to pick up on colors and shapes. Before today, all I’ve done is say things like “That blanket is yellow!” or “you’re playing with a red truck!” When...
Ohhh moving! I have a love hate relationship with it. Really, I love being able to try out a new home and find all the things I love about it {and we usually get more space each time, too!} We have been married almost five years and just made our fifth move. {I know, really? Who does that, We do!} It’s been really fun. We have lived in three states together...
{Disclaimer: I received free product in compensation for this review, however, I am going to give you my honest thoughts, and the pro’s and con’s} Laundry is kind of a booger yah know? It just never goes away, but at the same time, I think about my Grandmother and how she washed her clothes by hand, and hung them to dry and then ironed them, and I realize, I don’t have it bad at all. And! I am overjoyed! To share a new product I got to try out. They are Woolzies 100% Pure New Zealand Wool Dryer Balls. I love my laundry...
{Disclaimer- I have been compensated for this review, however, the opinions are my own, I promise to tell the truth! And I wouldn’t share it if I didn’t think it was worthwhile!} I have mentioned a few times that we just moved across a few states My little boy is three, and this move was quite a bit harder than our last when he was only 12 months old....
My son just turned three, and is WAY into superheroes. It’s a lot of fun, and I love zooming around the room with him saving the world. But at the same time, I really want him to have real heroes to look up to in his life, you know what I mean? I am so lucky to have married a wonderful man who I know is my Son’s ultimate hero and man he looks up to and strives to be. I am so grateful to have the Bible and Book of Mormon, to teach my son about heroes that lived long ago, and have their life stories to share with us. They don’t...
This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Homeschool Blogging Carnival hosted by Lisa at The Squishable Baby and Keisha at Unschooling Momma. This month our participants are talking about their favorite homeschool project or experience. There are a few affiliate links scattered throughout this article. I decided to take a break this week from the home maintenance binder (don’t worry, I’ll post another section on it next week!) to join The Squishable Baby’s Homeschool Blog Carnival. The theme...
