As Mother’s Day draws closer, I’ve found myself stuck for ideas. I’m making my own Mother’s Day gifts, so I want to do something fun and also something that I’m really going to appreciate. I suppose it’s a blessing and a curse but at the same time, I do want it to be memorable and the whole point of it (from my perspective) is to do something Squeaker. That’s why I’ve searched and found 50+ handmade gift ideas for Mother’s Day that you can make with your toddler or preschooler. Some of these your preschooler or toddler might be able to do independently and others, they will need your help. But you’re a better judge of that than I am 🙂 In that case, send…

So as you’ve seen, or may have seen in our goals, we’re on a quest to living a more natural lifestyle but what do we really mean by that? Are we really seeking to return to nature and become entirely self sufficient? Yes… and no. While we would love to be able to be more self sufficient in the future, for the time being we’re taking small steps. By doing things like starting a garden, recycling, and detoxifying our home. We’re also making changes in how our children are being raised. But how to raise a natural child? Today we’re going to attempt to answer that question. Raising a natural child is something that many parents are interested in these days. Some parents hear about…

Planning a Mommy and Me Tea Party

Did you have tea parties as a child? Maybe you went full out and dressed up (and dressed up all of your “guests”) and had a fancy tea set to use. Or maybe you attended an actual afternoon tea. Whatever the case may be, having a tea party is one of those things that most little girls (and some boys) will do. I think it’s also a great idea for a Mother’s Day activity, but there’s no saying that a Mommy and Me tea party has to be regulated to just that one day. I am that mom that has made my own Mother’s Day gifts with my toddler. In fact, I’ve made my own cards and did a simple salt dough footprint project with…

We don’t do baskets for the older two or Squeaker, just yet, but we do make Easter baskets for T & J. This year, however, I want to try and stay away from the candy. I realize, of course, that candy is sometimes the most important part- but, it doesn’t have to be. Plus, we still have a chocolate Easter bunny from last year sitting in the cabinet. So is candy necessary for the basket? Not always. That’s why I’m offering up a few candy free Easter basket ideas based around themes. Candy Free Easter Basket Ideas for Kids Theme: Frozen With Frozen Fever released in 2015, and Olaf’s Frozen Adventure released in 2017, and the announcement of Frozen 2, it’s no wonder that Frozen…

With Easter coming up next weekend, here are 50+ family friendly Easter recipes for you to try. Normally I try to split these up between desserts and well, non-desserts but they’re all together this time. Hopefully you find something you like!

Easter Gift Idea: Jesus Sees Us

I received a complimentary product to facilitate this post, but this did not sway or influence this post. All thoughts and opinions are 100% honest and mine alone. For Squeaker, I want holidays to be a blend of culture (worldview), faith, and fun. This especially holds true with important Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter. But finding appropriate toys and books can sometimes be difficult. Or at least toys that I think she’ll enjoy that aren’t too tacky or not very child friendly. With Easter especially, I want to use this time to teach her more about Jesus and our Christian faith. I want to look for items that will both build up her faith, not only for Easter but all year. That’s why I’m…
