25+ Disney Christmas Movies to Have Your Own Christmas Countdown

I have probably been in a Christmas frame of mind since the beginning of October. To be honest with you, if I could celebrate something Christmasy every day? I just might do it. I love this time of the year and I’m really looking forward to introducing Squeaker to Christmas. For us that unfolds in many ways. From books, to cultural celebrations, to crafts, to baking cookies. And of course, with watching Christmas movies. One of my favorite Christmas movies is A Christmas Carol so I have several adaptations of that. Christmas also isn’t quite complete without at least one viewing of the Nutcracker ballet. Maybe one year, Squeaker and I can attend in person. I also look forward to seeing what Disney will decide…

Toddlers can be challenging. They’re argumentative and stubborn one minute but then loving and complacent the next. Some days you may wonder how you’ll both survive this sometimes tempestuous stage. Quite a bit of this has to do with understanding your toddler. And also understanding that their vocabulary isn’t as developed as ours. We’re adults, after all, and they still have quite a bit of growing to do. You can try introducing discipline with your toddler but also understand that they may not understand consequences. Toddlers can be a ton of fun, and a lot of work. It is easier to deal with toddlers, if you understand how they work. 5 Tips for How to Better Understand Your Toddler 1. Patience Is Not A Virtue…

Ever since my third child was born, I’ve had an on and off struggle with my weight. I say on and off because I’ve finally reached a point in my life where I’m comfortable with my body image. This was something that I had struggled with through my teens and through my twenties. My self esteem was a wreck and I had a pretty messed up view of how I was supposed to look. Once I got comfortable with that though, it was easier for me to accept that I had gained weight. For one, I was finally in my optimal weight area. But then I started to gain more weight. And, according to the BMI chart at the doctor’s office, I was borderline overweight….

Christmas is two months away though we’ve been in Christmas mode for quite some time here. I am the person who will listen to Christmas music all year. And I wouldn’t mind having a room dedicated to just Christmas. But I digress. Squeaker is not yet old enough to write a Christmas list but she certainly has no problems pointing to stuff. We’re trying that method for her when it comes to picking out her list of gifts for both Christmas and her birthday. One of her recent interests is Doc McStuffins so we’ll start with that and have similar toddler handpicked gift ideas over the course of this week.

I absolutely love chocolate chip banana bread and this recipe is so easy! It started with a search for banana bread recipes that didn’t use flour as I was trying to make a gluten free option for a church friend. I did find a few recipes that I’ll try out in the near future. But this particular recipe is not gluten free. This recipe yields a regular sized loaf of banana bread but since I was making mine to take to church, I ended up using two loaf pans. Actually I can’t really call them loaf pans but they sure are handy to have! I love easy baking recipes. Like my French toast biscuit bake. A lot of the prep-work on those can be done…
