Squeaker’s hair isn’t quite long enough to really style. Yet. I can get a tiered ponytail, pig tails, one ponytail.. and if I tried, I *might* be able to get braids. But we haven’t yet reached the point of long hair just yet. That won’t stop me from looking for hairstyles for toddlers and maybe next year I’ll be able to do some of these Christmas hairstyles for younger girls with her. Either as a casual thing, for her birthday, church, or family photos if we should have them done. If that’s the case, I’ll have to go looking for mommy and me hairstyle ideas as well, but we’ll see what we see next year! Some of these are outside of my own ability level…

I love bacon and I will put it in almost everything that I cook. I’ve put it in spinach and artichoke dip and it was delicious. I put it in my stuffed meatballs, and it is delicious. Add it in to shredded chicken risotto? Again, it is delicious. There really isn’t a lot that I won’t put bacon in, so something like spaghetti carbonara is right up my alley. Granted, it’s usually made with pancetta and not bacon, but it tastes pretty similar right? So when I got inspired to twist up a carbonara recipe, I kept the bacon but put in two non-traditional ingredients. To make it more of a filling, all in one, dish; I ended up with a chicken and spinach carbonara….

I’m a very goal oriented person. It helps me to put things in perspective and gives me a more clear path as to how to achieve what I want. Sometimes I set small goals, sometimes it’s big goals. And sometimes it’s small goals that lead towards a bigger goal. Whatever the case may be, I’ve found that setting goals helps me out and keeps me on track. This applies to many aspects of my life- be it household, money, or blogging. For example, one of my goals for next year is to earn a steady part time income from blogging. Right now it’s touch and go and I’d love to see that become stable. I have a plan, almost in place, for reaching that goal….

Though we mostly associate Thanksgiving with family and food, there’s another aspect of Thanksgiving that’s become just as much a part of my traditions. And that would be television. Oh yes. For example, I start my day by watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Then I wait (sometimes patiently) for football to start. But surely there are other options, right? What about the non-football fans or those who don’t like parades? Or if you’re a sports junkie or a parade junkie, wouldn’t you like to know what channel to tune into? I did a little digging and I’ve come up with a list of what to watch on Thanksgiving. Hopefully this gives you a helping hand. . On Netflix: Friends Thanksgiving Episodes For the animal…

I have plans to do a few sets of printable packs based on social concepts. I’ve already done two on feelings and emotions, but I wanted to get into other realms as well. So, to start I’m going to share a printable pack based on manners. It’s something that we’re working on with Squeaker and with Sweet B. With Squeaker, it’s using words like “please, thank you, and excuse me” while with Sweet B, it’s working on sign languages for “please, and thank you”. I think, however, that this free manners flash card set will be useful for both of them.  Tips for Teaching Manners to Younger Kids As a parent, you have a lot of different things to focus on, from making sure they…
