STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) or sometimes STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) is a field that is traditionally dominated by males. And though that trend is shifting somewhat, it’s still important to encourage girls to get involved in STEM. As a mom of  two girls, I want them to know that they are capable of doing anything to the best of their ability. And while the STEM fields were never really my strong point (unless it was a social science), I hope that both of my girls will explore these areas. How to Encourage Girls to Get Involved in STEM Although we have come a long way from the days when Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), were disciplines strictly dominated by…

When I mentioned those six lifestyle hacks for weight loss, one of the things that I talked about was exercising regularly.

This is our first year really celebrating Halloween with Squeaker and this year will be the first year that I really involve her with Christmas. So what do we do for Thanksgiving?

I’m not the craftiest person out there but I do like to occasionally tap into my creative side. One of my favorite ways to do that is by using K-Cups to make things. Sometimes they turn out to my expectations. And sometimes not so much. My latest attempt was to make a K-Cup turkey for Thanksgiving. Of course this could also be done by an older child but I don’t quite trust my toddler to use the glue gun yet. Depending on their age, this craft can be done completely by a child or it can be done with adult assistance. It really depends on your judgement and their craft ability level.
