I’ll have another post up soon about all of the components that we’re using for our afterschooling program, and today I wanted to share another part of it. Sweet B does receive adapted physical education time as a part of her IEP. They have a nice gym at her school with adaptive equipment available. She also goes bowling on the weekends and will soon start taking part in swimming lessons. One of the other ways we get our physical activity and gross motor play in, is by adding in a board game to our afterschooling routine. But this isn’t just your average board game- this one promotes yoga for kids (and adults, too!).

After Thanksgiving, while we were trying to figure out how to use up all that leftover Turkey, of course I turned to Pinterest for ideas. Because, why not? I go there for daily inspiration anyway, so I thought it would be a great starting point. After getting extremely sidetracked with all of the cute DIY Christmas idea, I turned to my trusty friend google. Somehow, the thought to make a risotto got into my head and I found one for a turkey and mushroom risotto made in the slow cooker. Perfect! It came out wonderful and I thought why not try to duplicate that by making a slow cooker shredded chicken risotto. This recipe is also very budget friendly, with the priciest item being the…

This is a sponsored post, and I will be compensated. However, this does not sway my opinion in any way. Maintaining your home’s heating and cooling systems is not only practical for your budget but could also be important for your health. For those in the Nashville area, check out Halo Heating and Cooling for your energy needs. Here’s one example of a home safety checklist and another great infographic about installing smoke detectors in strategic parts of your home. Another way to save energy, and money, on your heating and cooling costs comes from the New York State Department of Energy: Heating Set thermostats at 65 to 70° during the winter and at 58° when away from home. Keep the thermostat higher if an infant,…

We love making stir fry in our house because it’s so easy to put together. Most of the time we have the ingredients we need on hand, so it’s only a matter of making a quick stop to the grocery store to pick up the main ingredient. Usually we make beef stir fry, but we’ll also make chicken stir fry. The other night, however, Kyle and I were debating as to how we should make our stir fry. Since we don’t have a wok, we usually just use a saute pan. We both have fond memories of our parents…

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…
