Having a baby is an exciting prospect, filled with ups and downs until that joyful day that you get to meet your bundle of joy. For NICU moms, the premise is the same but also involves the emotional roller coaster that goes along with having a premature baby.

Welcome back to another Freebie Friday here at Just Another Mom! Continuing with our Bible based printable packs, today I want to offer a supplement to my Adam and Eve printable pack. That pack was one of the first printable packs that I made and I’ve wanted to update it for awhile now to expand on it. For now, however, I wanted to offer the coloring pages on their own until I have the full pack together. So today’s freebie is an Adam and Eve coloring pack featuring pages with Bible verses and without. As with all of my Bible based printable packs, this pack uses the King James Version translation. However, if you would like a different translation, let me know and I’ll see…

This super easy 3 ingredient banana and berry ice cream is also no-churn. And one of the best parts? It can be made almost entirely alone by a child… or at the very least with some adult supervision. Now, I’m not suggesting that I let my toddler do this on her own. Far from it. But it was her first time helping me make something in the kitchen and I must say that it turned out very well. I will also admit that I was originally going to use strawberries for this but they weren’t quite thawed enough when I wanted to create the dessert. Fortunately we had blueberries in the freezer as well, so I think that this could work with any frozen berry….

Though it may seem futile to “homeschool” a toddler, I fully intend to do just that with my Squeaker. I’ve already talked about how I’m preparing to homeschool my toddler and I’ve finally gotten around to figuring out what we’re going to do. When we finally get around to formal homeschooling, I do intend to do a year round method. I think this will just work better for us but that won’t be until we’re ready for kindergarten or first grade. Until then, I want to keep our homeschooling informal, fun, and playful with a hint of education. So here’s how we’re planning our tot school year. First things first, I want this to be about learning through playing, exploring, and every day experiences. We’ll…

As we continue on our journey to wipe out debt, today I want to share five easy get out of debt secrets. I could also call these not so secret secrets, but we’ll leave them as is. The reason I want to share these is because I want all of us, who are struggling with debt, to become debt free. This was not something that we wanted for ourselves, but somehow we ended up here. And if we got ourselves into this mess, we can get ourselves out of this mess- and stay out of it so we can prevent this from happening again. When times are tough, it can be difficult to make payments on the things we need. And when we run up…

Pros and Cons of Screen Time for Toddlers

Screen time is something that I’ve struggled with since Squeaker was old enough to figure out how to operate a tablet. That would be around 14 months of age, maybe a little bit sooner. She will be 2 in December, and I understand that many children are figuring out how to operate tablets at younger ages. This both amazes and saddens me. Still, I wanted to weigh the pros and cons of screen time for toddlers before making a definitive decision. Whether it was watching her sister, her brothers, or myself use a tablet or Kindle; Squeaker has always been fairly aware of the goings on with electronic devices. She also watches a few television programs with us, though it’s usually limited to Jeopardy, Wheel…
