20+ Toddler Hairstyles for Girls

As Squeaker is entering toddlerhood, one of our challenges has been keeping her bangs out of her face. I’m in no rush to get her haircut, and so I’ve been looking for toddler hairstyles for girls that I can do at home. I wouldn’t say I’m hair-challenged but I want something easy and quick for both her patience and my sanity. Most days, I’m content to just put her hair in pigtails (or pretty as she calls them) and be done with it. But now, I’m inspired to try more ideas and I’m sharing with you 20+ easy hairstyles for little girls that I love.

Summer Bubble Fun Ideas

With summer just around the corner, we’re searching for fun ideas to keep us outdoors. For us that means water play and bubbles.

But the fun won’t stop there, of course, because I know that Sweet B will want to participate too.

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!

How the Easter Bunny Came to Be

It’s hard to believe that Easter is coming up so quickly! These past few weeks have really flown by and I had meant to have this posted earlier. If you’re like me and wonder about Easter traditions, here’s one specifically about how the Easter bunny came to be. And because the Easter bunny has become such a symbol of Easter, I’m also including a fun round up of Easter bunny themed crafts. It may seem odd to many that a bunny has become part of the religious festival of Easter, but the truth is that the Easter Bunny origin goes further back than you might think! Originally, the Easter bunny was a pagan symbol. The truth is that the Easter Bunny origin goes all the…
