I want Squeaker to know about other cultures and religions aside from her own. Now, while her ethnic background is quite diverse (she’s Japanese, Filipino, Polish.. and a host of additional European background) and I have some idea of how to introduce those cultures (like with our mini tot school Poland unit); religion is another issue. I am raising her as a Christian because that’s what we are. However, I also want her to be aware of other religions and as a Christian, I think that learning about Judaism will go a long way. While we won’t celebrate all of the Jewish holy days, we will definitely study them and celebrate them a little bit. We’ll probably start with Hanukkah because it’s close enough to…

One of my yearly goals is to improve my time management skills. I’ve tried to find the best planner for moms who want to get organized in the past. It’s something that I constantly and continually work on because it’s something I’ve always struggled with. Organization, in general, can be one of my biggest enemies. And now as Squeaker gets older and as I continue to make a transition to being a work at home mom; organization is more of a need than ever. I’m also a bit of a planner addict but terrible at using them consistently. I love to look at them and I love the concept. I may have finally found my ideal planner and once I’ve had some time to really explore it,…

Regardless though, having a dog was one of my favorite things about my childhood. I loved having a dog and cannot wait until we can add a dog to our current household. But until then, we’ll make do with a Hasbro Joy For All Pet Pup. How Having a Family Pet Benefits Children Animal lovers…

While you could certainly make this easy French toast biscuits for breakfast at anytime of the year, this might also be an alternative for Christmas morning. Or for a Christmas brunch. And to be perfectly honest with you? I enjoyed one of these for dessert or an afternoon snack when my sweet tooth hit.

As moms we take on a lot of roles and we tend to wear a lot of hats. Our job is 24/7 all year long. When we then add on additional roles as work at home moms, or homeschooling moms? We take on more and more. We really don’t always value ourselves or value what we do. Sometimes it’s difficult for us to even recognize just how important we are. Do you regularly practice self-care? And for that matter, when was the last time that you did something that was just for you? You absolutely should take the time to do something for yourself. It is more than okay to be a little selfish. Me time for moms is needed. In fact, if you keep…
