I want Squeaker to know about other cultures and religions aside from her own. Now, while her ethnic background is quite diverse (she’s Japanese, Filipino, Polish.. and a host of additional European background) and I have some idea of how to introduce those cultures (like with our mini tot school Poland unit); religion is another issue. I am raising her as a Christian because that’s what we are. However, I also want her to be aware of other religions and as a Christian, I think that learning about Judaism will go a long way. While we won’t celebrate all of the Jewish holy days, we will definitely study them and celebrate them a little bit. We’ll probably start with Hanukkah because it’s close enough to…

If I told you that, according to the Briggs Meyer personality type that I’m an INFJ, what would you say? I’ve taken other tests that are similar to the Briggs Meyer but no matter what? My beginning letter is always an I. Yes, I am an introvert. Or at least have more introvert tendencies than I do extrovert. Maybe that’s why this particular career path has worked out for me. If you are also an introvert, or have an introvert in your life, here are a few informative, insightful, and thoughtful book gift ideas for introverts. Honestly, I think coloring books would make for an ideal gift as well. But, as an introvert and in general, one of my favorite past times is reading. I…

Earlier this year, my toddler got into watching Paw Patrol. Now I’m not sure how or why, but absolutely loves this show. If you aren’t familiar with it, Paw Patrol is a group of 6 (expanded to 8 on occasion) dogs lead by Ryder- a tech savvy 10 year old. The heroic pups, who believe “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” work together to protect the community – Adventure Bay. It’s also one of the few kids shows that I don’t mind watching with her. Squeaker’s favorites are Marshall, Everest, and Skye. We were going to do a Marshall costume for Halloween but it didn’t quite pan out. She also helped me put together this ultimate Paw Patrol gift idea guide…

I did enjoy Japanese brush painting as a child and sometimes I do like to doodle a little or draw trees. But, I was never really artistically inclined. Music, definitely. But art? Not so much.

That’s why I wanted to share these coloring book gift ideas for adults. Let’s start with the coloring books. Some are still somewhat kid friendly. While others are definitely…

When it comes to Christmas shopping and gifting, I always like to have something extra on hand to give to guests. Or to give to local community members or neighbors. Whatever the case may be, it could be something small or it could be something homemade. I prefer homemade because I think it just gives that extra touch. This year, I will be gifting peppermint Christmas cracker candy. Package your peppermint Christmas cracker candy in a Rubbermaid TakeAlongs for easy gift giving. Thank you to Rubbermaid for partnering with us to bring you this post. I was actually surprised at how easy this was to make. I’d always been under the impression that the process was complicated. That, and every time I’ve attempted to make…

My toddler’s latest obsession is Finding Dory- the 2016 hit from Disney/Pixar studios. The sequel to the equally popular Finding Nemo, Finding Dory centers around Dory’s quest to find her parents. Unfortunately she has short-term memory loss which impedes her journey a little. However, she finds help along the way. Not only from Nemo and Marlin but also from Destiny, Hank, and Bailey. This post contains affiliate links and while you are under no obligation to use them, by purchasing something through my affiliate link you are supporting this site, thanks! I was a huge fan of Finding Nemo so I was really curious to see Finding Dory. The addition of adorable sea otters fueled my interest in the movie. So, needless to say, once…
