Happy First Day of Fall… or Spring if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere. For all of my friends and visitors who are also welcoming in the first day of Fall, I wanted to share a simple recipe for pumpkin pie sugar cookies. Though the name may be a little misleading because there is no actual pumpkin pie filing or pumpkin puree to be found in the cookies, they still have a pumpkin pie flavor to them. All thanks to a little pumpkin pie spice. But believe me, that addition did make a difference. My taste tester (Squeaker) approved of them immediately and they were scarfed down at church, too. I have found, typically, that when it comes to the pumpkin craze- people are one of…

In our Raising Money Savvy Kids series, we talked a little bit about how to teach kids to save money. This is a good skill to have and certainly one that I could use a little help with too. Not that I don’t save money, I do. Just that I could be doing better with it or putting it towards something practical like a retirement fund. I also want to set up a special needs trust fund for Sweet B. But how can we teach kids to save money? Money may be given as a gift for a birthday, holiday, or other special occasion. Maybe your child receives an allowance or they could be old enough to have their first job. For older kids, you…

Speech is one of the most important milestones in a child’s life. This is because the bulk of speech that children develop during their first 3 years of life greatly influences their social, emotional, and cognitive development, and also largely impacts later performance in school and critical thinking skills. For this reason, speech-language pathologists encourage parents to expose their kids to as much words as possible and encourage talking during this critical first 3 years in order to instill a rich vocabulary in their child. One good way of going about that is by investing in the following language teaching baby toys.

It’s so hard for me to believe that it’s already August! I did set up a to-do list for the summer but it’s not nearly as complete as I’d like it to be. A lot of it has to do with building my email subscriber list and creating a paid member’s area. It also has to do with finding the time to do everything. Which, I’m now watching my niece several days a week. So having her here has been fun… but also somewhat challenging. It’s also given me some pretty good ideas for blog posts and activities. Anyway, moving on to the latest monthly income report! Please do note that while I call these monthly income reports, this is solely from blogging income at…

When you were younger, did your parents help you with your homework? For the most part, I did my homework independently. But if I really needed some guidance, I knew that I could ask my mom. And while homework may not have been my favorite part about school, I also knew that it had to be done. Even if it meant doing it the morning it was due. Now it seems that children have homework at younger ages. I’m not sure why this is being done and I can’t say that I agree with it at all. But if your child is struggling with their homework, here’s how to help them without doing all of the work yourself. Every child deserves a parent who is…
