However, it also means making it a bit more portable so I have it all times. That means being able to workout on the go and at home. So, aside from a good pair of shoes and comfortable clothing, here’s what I have in my Winter workout toolkit: Would you believe that I actually don’t have a gym bag? Instead I…

Thanksgiving will be here before we know it! I can’t wait for the food and the football. And of course, spending time with family. However, while I’m trying to help with Thanksgiving dinner; I have an inquisitive and curious toddler under foot. There are times that I appreciate her enthusiasm and willingness to help; but when I’m trying to get dinner ready is not one of them. This year I wanted to share a free printable Thanksgiving placemat set. The catch is that these aren’t meant to be used as true placemats. More like something to keep your toddler occupied. If you’re looking for more activities, be sure to check out my Thanksgiving tot pack. Or you can add in the activities from my Thanksgiving…

The holidays are a time for giving and giving back. Whether that’s within your circle of family and friends, or within your community. This time of the year is really a great time to start focusing on how to give back to others. You can do this simply by practicing acts of kindness. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t practice this all year round, of course. One of the ways that I like to give back, at this time of the year and all year, is through food. Whether it’s sharing cookies, baking bread, or a more substantial meal like a sausage and squash lasagna. Now yes, I realize this may not meet your expectations of what a lasagna is supposed to look like….

In case I haven’t mentioned it yet- here’s one thing that you should definitely know about me. Christmas is my favorite holiday. Ever. And it goes just beyond the actual day. There’s so much that I love about this time of the year. And yes, I am one of those people who would start decorating as soon as possible. To be honest, if I could have one room in the house dedicated to Christmas? I’d do it. This year, however, when I wanted to start decorating; I also wanted to consider the overall Winter season. Squeaker loves snowmen. Kyle, Squeaker, and I are all Winter babies (January, December, February respectively). So it only made sense to try and incorporate Winter alongside Christmas. With thanks to…

We are approaching my favorite time of the year- Christmas! Though, I’ve been in the Christmas mood for quite some time already. Now it’s really time to dive in and make stuff. And decorate. And bake cookies. Lots and lots of cookies. But it’s also one of my favorite times to tap into my wannabe crafter side. Squeaker probably enjoys crafting and creating more than I do at this point. And that’s not a bad thing at all. If anything, her enthusiasm gets me motivated as well. One of our most recent crafts was a foam paintbrush reindeer. Pretty cute, huh?
