100+ Valentine’s Day Ideas for Toddlers

As I attempt to get back on track with my 14 Days of Valentines series (which, at this rate, won’t be finished on time but will still culminate with the Gift Guide), I’m just going to post what I had planned and hopefully get to everything. For today, that includes 100+ Valentine’s Day Ideas for Toddlers (crafts & activities only) while I finish up the printable packs that I’m working on and a few more free printables (love themes, kid friendly Valentine themed quotes, printable Valentine’s Day cards) to share and some exclusives for my mailing list.

If you're thinking of starting a diet, be sure to check out my beginner's guide to understanding diets!

A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding Diets

Are you embarking on a weight loss journey or taking steps towards living a healthier lifestyle? One of my main goals, year after year, is to live a healthier lifestyle- by adding a regular fitness routine, eating healthier, and reducing the amount of toxins that are in my life. Some of these require more baby steps than others, but the overall goal will be worth it in the end. I should also add that living a healthier lifestyle is an ongoing goal and not one that I’d like to stop once I’ve reached it. So I want to look for a food change, not a short-term diet solution. For me, that begins with understanding different types of diets.  Why weight loss is more than just your…

Spinach, Sausage, and Turkey Meatballs

Delicious Spinach, Sausage, and Turkey Meatballs This past weekend being the super bowl, Kyle and I were looking for something easy to make that would be ready in time for the big game. Sundays are usually low key for us, but since his boys get dropped off to their mom on Sunday afternoon, sometimes figuring out something to make for dinner can be a bit tricky. I’m all for an easy meatball recipe and after seeing a recipe for Sausage and Turkey Meatballs from Wife, Mom, Geek- I decided that this was something I needed to make. And did I mention that we also put bacon in ours? We always put chopped bacon in our meatloaf recipes, so since this was similar to that in…

Children’s Dental Health Month

14 Days of Valentines will resume on Saturday as I want to get to a few other things before that. Plus, I’m still working on a few things for my 14 Days of Valentines series, so I want to make sure that I have all of that together before we delve back in. In the meanwhile, February is a special month. Aside from being my birth month, there are quite a few special things about February that we’re going to cover this week. For example, did you know that February is National Children’s Dental Health Month here in the United States? With all of the sweets being consumed this month for Valentine’s Day, plus the runoff from Christmas (we still have candy canes laying around);…

Budget Friendly Date Night Ideas

Welcome to Day 5 of 14 Days of Valentines! Today, I want to talk about budget friendly date night ideas but before I get into that, I do have a small confession to make. While I am doing a 14 Days of Valentines, I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day itself. I like to decorate for the holiday, I like baking for the holiday, and there’s a multitude of children’s crafts and activities that I enjoy doing. But as far as celebrating Valentine’s Day in terms of buying gifts or giving gifts- no thanks. I’ve always felt that Valentine’s Day was becoming too commercialized and I’m not really a materialistic person. Plus, if you’re just going to reserve this one day of the year to go…

20+ Delicious Valentine’s Day Desserts

For day 4 of 14 Days of Valentines, I wanted to share a few of my top picks for desserts. There are hundreds, if not thousands out there but these really stood out to me for a variety of reasons. I’m sharing 28 delicious Valentine’s Day desserts with you today, but, just like the dishes and drinks– don’t feel as though you have to limit yourself to just Valentine’s Day. You could also prepare these for an anniversary, for a birthday, date night in, or any day of the year that you want to make more special. I’ll have a more kid friendly version (featuring more cookies, brownies, and treats) next week. [Tweet “20+ Delicious Valentine’s Day Dessert Recipes”] Personally, I wouldn’t mind any of…
