Though it may not be a term that you’re readily familiar with, I know that our family is more than ready to become freegans. But what is a freegan and how do you become a freegan? Today, we’re going to talk about that and how easy it is to get started. You may already be practicing some of the tenants of freeganism without even realizing it yet! And don’t worry, once you become a freegan there is no crazy membership to join, or dues to pay. Becoming a freegan is more of a state of mind than anything. What is a freegan? Freeganism is a term for people who wish to live “free” from consumerism. Freeganism embraces frugality and a simple lifestyle. What do freegans…

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…

Squeaker absolutely nursery rhymes and finger plays right now. One of her favorites just so happens to be the Itsy Bitsy Spider. We do this one often and she’s getting to the point where she can do some of the motions independently. She’s also attempting to say itsy bitsy. To help facilitate this, I made a printable pack for her so we can do other activities. We’re having fun with the itsy bitsy spider and I hope that you will too! We will also be using this soon in our Afterschooling series, so be sure to look out for the post! For now this is just your download and coming soon, I’ll share what we did to supplement our mini unit/first theme for Tot School…

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

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…
