Why We Love Pampers Diapers

I have expressed my adoration and love for Pampers in the past. They were my preferred brand of diaper for Sweet B and they are my preferred brand of diaper for Squeaker. I tried to get into cloth diapers but I just couldn’t do it. I’ve tried other brands and  always find myself going back to Pampers. With Squeaker, we started with Swaddlers and then switched between Baby Dry and Cruisers. Currently, Squeaker is in Cruisers and they are the ideal diaper to keep up with her. They provide the best fit for her, they’re a great value, and they have adorable characters that she easily recognizes. They keep her dry overnight and comfortable. Whether she’s walking around in mommy’s sandals or dancing to music,…

With Back to School in full swing in most parts of the country (Albany, NY is not starting until after Labor Day), I wanted to share part of my free printable lunch notes for kids pack with you. Now, I say part because it’s only 20 of the full 180 pack. Each week, I’ll release 20 more (either on Friday or not) until at least 80 of the notes have been made public. If you want the full pack, you can get those by subscribing to my newsletter as they will be a subscriber freebie until the end of the year. I do plan on having additional subscriber freebies, but this one is the first. While these are intended to put in with lunches, you…

Thank you to Barnes and Noble Mastercard, powered by Barclaycard for sponsoring this conversation and helping us as we continue preparing for tot school this year. Squeaker will be two in December and I’ve already started planning to start doing a more formal tot school/preschool at home with her. I understand, fully, that she’s a toddler and she may not always cooperate with my carefully laid plans. Which is why I’m not going to plan things out to the minute or even use lesson plans at this point. I think it would be futile and would only result in frustration for both of us. But, that still won’t stop me from preparing for tot school, as informal as it might be. We’ll read, do art…

After the conclusion of how to raise a money savvy kid, this week we’re going to begin our new series on teaching kids how to save money. This is a great skill to learn, especially early on in life when it has the potential to become a habit.

Today, we’ll talk about one way that you can start teaching kids how to save money. How can you teach kids to save money? Teaching children to save money is important and difficult.
