I have a confession- I love Olaf. Yes, Olaf the Snowman from Frozen. Squeaker is a fan too, though we try not to watch the full movie often. Mostly we just look on YouTube for Olaf clips. She does have a few Olaf toys so I thought- why not create an ultimate Olaf gift guide? I’m also going to include a few free resources in here because everyone loves free, right? This gift guide includes suggestions for adults too, but is mostly geared towards kids… or kids at heart, like myself.

I was diagnosed with a hyperthyroid when I was in my mid-20s. It was never enough to be on medication but enough that I had to go to the endocrinologist every six months for blood work.

I enjoy any simple sensory play ideas and by simple sensory play, I mean 5 ingredients or less with minimal prep and clean up. Of course I can dream but it’s wonderful when I come across play ideas like that. And this all stemmed from my making avocado and banana muffins. I used applesauce in the recipe and since Kyle decided to get a larger jar of unsweetened applesauce, I started looking for ideas. I came across one from Still Playing School and thought- why not give that a try. You could also use this in conjunction with our Letter A post from our afterschooling series.

This was touched upon briefly during my Valentine’s Day series, but I wanted to talk again about budget friendly date ideas. Why? Because it’s important to keep the romance going in your relationship. And contrary to popular belief, you do not have to break the bank to impress. I don’t think you should have to either.. and I have never expected much. I don’t want all of that, anyway. Flowers die and I don’t really wear jewelry. There are plenty of ways to show someone that you love them without spending money. Similarly, there are plenty of ways to go on a date without having to take out a small loan. Here are a few budget friendly date ideas to consider. Dating used to be…
