Easy St. Patrick’s Day Art for Toddlers Today I’m sharing two super easy St. Patrick’s Day art for toddlers ideas. You’ll be able to find the sheets that I used in my Simple St. Patrick’s Day Coloring, Matching and Puzzles Pack or in my St. Patrick’s Day Printable Pack . I’m hesitant to call this Tot School just yet as we aren’t integrating anything else into it (shapes, colors, letters)… plus Squeaker will only be 15 months on March 5th (2015), so I wouldn’t expect for her to be ready for some of the other stuff I have planned for Tot School. For both projects, I printed them out on card stock so they would hold up a little better to the finger paint and…

Now, while I’m not suggesting that you go and spend all of your tax return on fun things; you should be able to treat yourself, right?

Almost every parent has dreams and hopes that their children will attend college. And while every child may not do this, it’s still something that we can hope for.

Is it possible to still be an eternal optimist while being an effective parent? For that matter, does one’s outlook have anything to do with how they parent? I would say yes it does matter and no, it doesn’t matter.

My parenting style has changed and yes, it does have some variations between my two girls. Part of this has to do with Sweet B’s autism but I still try to be consistent with the two.

Have I mentioned before that we don’t really do Valentine’s Day? I’ve never been a huge fan because to me, it’s a more commercialized holiday.
