Year in Review: Blogging Edition

Since I posted a Year in Review for Squeaker, it would only make sense for me to post a Year in Review: Blogging Edition as well. I would post up something about resolutions, but truth be told- I don’t make them. I set goals for the upcoming year and strive to work towards those instead. I suppose it’s the same as setting resolutions, but I’m more likely to keep my goals than I am to keep my resolutions. That’s partly the point for this post, setting up my goals for the upcoming blogging year and going over the past year that I’ve had with this blog. My Most Popular Post: Autism and Grief I wrote this one originally when I had two sub-blogs (School with…

Eggtastic Breakfast Recipes

I have ambitions of raising my own chickens when we finally move out of Albany. We’ll still be in the capital district, just in an area where it’s okay to raise chickens. My main reasoning behind this is because I want to know that the eggs we’re eating are fresh, healthier eggs and not jam packed with hormones. But until I can start raising my own chickens, I’m proud to partner with NestFresh Eggs! All of our eggs are always 100% cage free. That means that no matter which NestFresh Eggs you choose, you can be sure that the hens that laid your eggs had room to roam around large barns. Not only that, but our hens are also free to jump on perches, run…

Goal Planning for Bloggers

I’ll be the first to admit it- I’m no expert when it comes to blogging and I highly doubt I ever will be. I think that we all have a lot to learn where blogging is concerned, though I’d like to think that I’m confident with what I know. Like many bloggers, I know that success in blogging rarely happens overnight and that blogging takes a lot of time and hard work. But with that time and hard work, you’ll also start to see payoffs. I know I have when I put in the work and I’ve also seen the consequences when I don’t. That’s why I’m setting goals for the next year and offering some helpful tips and printables to aid in goal planning…

Canned Biscuit Breakfast Bake Recipe

With the holidays approaching, and family arriving (though not for us this year), you’ll want to have some quick and easy breakfast/brunch ideas to have handy. One thing that I love to do is make cinnamon rolls or set out a simple breakfast buffet table with selections such as scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast sausage, English muffins, and bagels. Another way I like to prepare breakfast or brunch for a larger crowd is to make a breakfast casserole. Casseroles tend to be a staple in our house at this time of the year anyway, so why not apply that to breakfast? I just had to try this delicious canned biscuit breakfast bake recipe. This recipe was adapted slightly from here After doing a Google search for breakfast…

Please be advised that this post may contain affiliate links. By clicking on a link and making a purchase, I will earn a small commission. Of everything that’s in the gift guide, this next gift has definitely been the most anticipated in terms of getting a review done. T & J were particularly excited about doing this review and wanted to know (almost immediately) when we were going to get that done. Of course that kind of defeated the point of having this as a Christmas gift, but their excitement was definitely worth it. EzyRoller is a featured gift in our Holiday Gift Guide

Mess Free Thanksgiving Art for Babies

With Thanksgiving next week, I had hoped to post up a few of these but well, I’ll be honest- the gift guide is consuming a lot of my blogging time. Still, I didn’t want that to get in the way of posting some Thanksgiving art for babies posts. We’ll have a messier version up next week, I hope, but for now; here’s the next part of mess-free art for babies. If you’ve seen past mess-free art posts, you’ll notice that we’ve usually done tracing of the hands and/or painting in a plastic baggie. I post these projects not because I’m trying to discourage messy play (I think that’s important too) but because I’m trying to be mindful that sometimes Squeaker just doesn’t want to put…
