My 4-year old told me he wanted to make a penguin craft today. “Let’s look on Pinterest!” he told me! We had fun admiring all the cute penguin pictures and crafts on there. This one that we came across was so cute, and so very easy for the preschool age. I drew the shapes, and he cut them out. We talked ... Read More »
I’m gearing up for my son’s first birthday this week (February 22!) and while we’re not throwing a party for him (if he had little cousins in the area, or at least some grandparents nearby, I’d make more of an effort, but really, he’s a year old – as long as we get some pics of him with his cake ...

Ever since I was little, it’s been a tradition to have homemade pizza on the weekend. I always remember my mom saying that she enjoyed having one meal where no one complained. I didn’t fully understand that until I became a mother to four boys! Even with a meal like pizza, one of our boys would still prefer a slice of buttered ... Read More »

So, yesterday I turned to my all-time favourite, AllRecipes.com, and found this recipe for Too Much Chocolate Cake. Looked easy – a doctored box cake. It has an average rating of ... Read More »
I’m so used to using the phrase toilet training, but apparently the correct phrase is “toilet learning.” Either way, we’re working with our 3-year old who has absolutely no interest in sitting on the toilet (“I’ll do it later, Mommy.”). I came across this guest post on the blog, I Can Teach My Child I love this blog, and the idea ... Read More »
I’ve never been a big fan of anything in the squash family. But my sister (and co-author of this blog) made spaghetti squash for me once when I was eating gluten-free. It was really good, especially how she made it. She told me the basic gist of the recipe, and I made it for supper tonight. It was a big hit, ... Read More »
If you’re at home with some little ones for lunch tomorrow, why not make it a little more special? Even Grilled Cheese & Ketchup can be made a little more special! Any other ideas? Read More »
I’ve been loving all the paint chip crafts and ideas on Pinterest. We did the Paint Chip Wreath at Christmas, and I loved how the different shades of green gave depth to the wreath. We decided to do a Valentine’s craft with the same idea. Another thing I like about paint chips is how kid-friendly they are. Your child can easily ... Read More »
So, this is an Ebook that I stumbled upon that seems like a really worth-while investment to make: 50 Development Activities for Kids. There are an awful lot of different sites listed on Pinterest with all sorts of great ideas of activities for kids, but for someone who can’t be bothered to go through all of their different pins and ...

I’ve always loved eating freshly baked muffins on Sunday mornings, and I was lucky enough to have a mom who often baked tasty muffins before church. This morning, I decided to make muffins of my own – but, not having my mom’s apple cinnamon muffin recipe on hand, I headed to (where else?) Pinterest to find a recipe. I came ... Read More »
