Blog postI’ve been getting a lot of emails asking when my gift guides will be coming out and I have to apologize. We’ve had some set backs over here.
See exhibit A..
Yes, that is an enormous Cedar tree that fell onto our house earlier this month. Luckily no one was hurt but, needless to say, it’s been quite the project. Add to that my daughter’s swim team, youngest’s soccer, and oldest’s TWO basketball teams and you get the picture.

Blog post*Today’s post is sponsored by Mpix. All opinions are 100% my own.
If you’re like me, you’re probably pretty sick of hearing about the supply chain shortages by now.
Nevertheless, there’s a deal going on today I really want you to know about- hopefully it will not only save you a lot of money, but also a big headache from ordering cards too late and having them not arrive when expected.
Ever heard of Mpix?

Blog postIf you’ve been following me for long, you know I’m a huge proponent of giving kids household responsibilities and teaching them to manage money at an early age. I’ve done a lot of research on the topic and even developed some pretty slick tools to help parents get started.
I’ll be the first to admit, though, that even the best routines need shaking up every once in a while, and my Kids’ Responsibility and Money Management Kit is no different.
In our house, the system was st -

Remember a time when technology brought people together? When the whole family would gather around the only TV in the house instead of spreading out to separate rooms and devices?
Yes, these days personal gadgets tend to isolate people in their own cyber world, but you don’t have to feel hopeless. There are ways for you to use technology to engage your family as a unit—a movie night, for example! Here are some ideas for making the most of this evening acti -
Blog postI was looking through some old photos recently and I was reminded of how much we used to play with beach balls in the house when the kids were younger.
It was such a simple way to keep the kids active and happy when we were stuck indoors – plus it was super inexpensive and easy to set up (two of my favorite qualities in a kids’ activity).
Back in the day, this one was right up there with our Life-Sized Building Blocks, Construction Sensory Box and Upcycled Inventor’ -
Blog postIt’s a historic day today for many reasons, not the least of which is the swearing in of the first woman elected to National Office.
Like many of you, I watched it live this morning with my kids on TV (tears were shed). But in case you haven’t yet, I wanted to let you know that a special inauguration day children’s special covering all the events is available here!
I love that this historic day is being presented in such an accessible way to students all ov -

Blog postThis “Sibling Appreciation Advent Calendar” is an idea our elf came up with last year and worked really well.
On the first day he appeared, always the day after Thanksgiving in our house, he arrived with this Advent Calendar (only $15!) and an explanation.
The idea is simple. Our elf asked the kids to take a minute each day to write something nice about each other and place it in that day’s pocket. The next morning the kids wake up to find the notes they wrote about each other -
Blog postGratitude isn’t a new concept for us.
We’ve talked before about regularly expressing gratitude toward our kids and putting our gratitude into writing.
Do a simple search for gratitude on the blog and you’ll see many ideas for crafts and thoughts about giving thanks.
The benefits of being a grateful person range from being more optimistic, less materialistic and self-centered, to increasing our self-esteem and actually making us healthier. This is something -
Blog postOur post, 30 Meal Ideas for 1-Year-Olds, has been so incredibly popular that I asked our contributor, Kaley, to follow it up with a breakfast version.
What I love most about this is that we have breakfast for dinner on the regular around here– which means that now we have 60 great kid-friendly meal ideas!
Here she is with her list (and if anyone knows healthy kid food, it’s Kaley, so it’s a great list).
We have two go-to breakfasts in my house. And they are both super
