Welcome to the first week of Mommy Camp for Toddlers! Every Friday in June and into the first two or three weeks of July, I’ll have a new post for you. But just what is mommy camp for toddlers? It’s a simple way to work on fundamentals like fine and gross motor skills and learn concepts like the alphabet, shapes, numbers, and colors. Posts will be on Friday so you can use the weekend to prepare for the upcoming week ahead. But why have something just for toddlers? Well, if they see their big siblings going off to summer camp, this could be a fun way to keep them active and give them their own summer camp experience at home. It’s really whatever you make…

As Squeaker is entering toddlerhood, one of our challenges has been keeping her bangs out of her face. I’m in no rush to get her haircut, and so I’ve been looking for toddler hairstyles for girls that I can do at home. I wouldn’t say I’m hair-challenged but I want something easy and quick for both her patience and my sanity. Most days, I’m content to just put her hair in pigtails (or pretty as she calls them) and be done with it. But now, I’m inspired to try more ideas and I’m sharing with you 20+ easy hairstyles for little girls that I love. First, you might want to check out this helpful post from A Bella Braids about how to care for your…

Yesterday was International Children’s Day and I wanted to get outside with Squeaker to teach her how to play hopscotch… Or, at the very least, show her what it was like and give our neighborhood an invitation to play. But, the weather didn’t cooperate at all, so we held off. Today, unfortunately, wasn’t much better but I still wanted to play hopscotch with her which also happened to be Challenge #22 from Milk Life. So instead, we took the game indoors and had a lot of fun in the process! First things first, we had to create our numbers. And while we would normally use sidewalk chalk for this process, instead I used pieces of card stock and crayons. While I made the number cards,…

Let me start by saying: I love meatloaf and I love meatballs. So trying to find recipes for them has become quite the past time of mine. We’ve started making more meatballs than meatloaf and I was looking for a twist on the basic meatball recipe.  Not that I don’t enjoy a good, basic meatball or easy meatball recipes, but I wanted to spice things up a bit. Or at least change it up it a bit while still maintaining the classic meatball ingredients that we’ve come to enjoy. I almost thought we were done with meatballs since the weather was finally starting to warm up and I didn’t want to use the oven so much. But the recent string of cooler weather has given…
