Earlier this year, my toddler got into watching Paw Patrol. Now I’m not sure how or why, but absolutely loves this show. If you aren’t familiar with it, Paw Patrol is a group of 6 (expanded to 8 on occasion) dogs lead by Ryder- a tech savvy 10 year old. The heroic pups, who believe “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” work together to protect the community – Adventure Bay. It’s also one of the few kids shows that I don’t mind watching with her. Squeaker’s favorites are Marshall, Everest, and Skye. We were going to do a Marshall costume for Halloween but it didn’t quite pan out. She also helped me put together this ultimate Paw Patrol gift idea guide…

It’s time do some baking around here. With Squeaker’s birthday being in early December, we try to plan a small party with family and close friends. This year is no exception and while we won’t be hosting; we will be bringing the cupcakes. Now, I’m not sure how or why this got started… but I just can’t seem to buy plain cupcake liners. So, for example, during Fall; I like to buy the ones with leaves or Halloween themed liners. Around this time of the year, I like to buy the Winter themed cupcake liners and Christmas themed cupcake liners. And while they do get used, I was also thinking of other ways to use them. I remember using white paper doilies in school to…

That’s why I wanted to share these coloring book gift ideas for adults. Let’s start with the coloring books. Some are still somewhat kid friendly. While others are definitely…

The weather hasn’t been quite cold enough for us to have a good amount of snow. Now, it’s still late November and I’m sure that will change once winter really settles in. Or, at least for my toddler’s sake, I hope it does. While we can make do with our sensory snow play, she is really looking forward to the snow. In the meantime though, we can make a toilet paper roll snowman. This adds to our (somewhat) growing collection of toilet paper roll crafts.

When it comes to Christmas shopping and gifting, I always like to have something extra on hand to give to guests. Or to give to local community members or neighbors. Whatever the case may be, it could be something small or it could be something homemade. I prefer homemade because I think it just gives that extra touch. This year, I will be gifting peppermint Christmas cracker candy. Package your peppermint Christmas cracker candy in a Rubbermaid TakeAlongs for easy gift giving. Thank you to Rubbermaid for partnering with us to bring you this post. I was actually surprised at how easy this was to make. I’d always been under the impression that the process was complicated. That, and every time I’ve attempted to make…
