I don’t remember a whole lot about my family’s Easter celebrations when I was a kid, but one thing I do remember is that a couple of times my mom gave us Easter “baskets” that weren’t traditional baskets. Like baskets, they were containers that could hold goodies. Unlike baskets, they were multipurpose storage containers that could be used for … [Read more...] about 9 Useful Containers to Use as Easter Baskets

I write posts on occasion that, when I started blogging over 10 years ago, I never could have envisioned myself writing! This post is one of those. I used cloth diapers for my eldest child. I continued using these for my middle child’s first six months of life. With my third child, I chose to use disposables.

11 Skills for Kids to Learn While Grocery Shopping

I use curbside pickup to obtain most of my groceries. I used curbside services a few times prior to the COVID19 pandemic, but once it began, curbside became my go-to means of getting groceries. As we’ve resumed normal activities, I’ve been reminded of just how much my kids love shopping in person and how many skills they can learn while doing … [Read more...] about 11 Skills for Kids to Learn While Grocery Shopping

Role play can be an incredibly effective tool for teaching kids. Here are several reasons why role play works so well.

Is Motherhood Harder Today Than It Used to Be?

May 7, 2022 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

What unique challenges do today’s moms face and how should we respond to them?

When I speak with other moms, there appears to be a growing consensus that motherhood is harder today than it used to be.

Do you have picky eaters? These simple, realistic strategies can gently encourage them to try new foods.

When my mother-in-law was visiting us a few weeks ago, we had a good laugh at an article I read that contained a list of foods to try for picky eaters. The first recipe on the list was for broccoli stir fry. The next was for calamari. We looked at each other, laughed, and wondered if the author understood the concept of picky … [Read more...] about 8 Realistic Ways to Help Picky Eaters Try New Foods

Most of us engage in family traditions because they are fun, but did you know they’re beneficial? Here are 10 ways families benefit from traditions.
