I just had to share a few pictures of my little cuties. I really held back, I wanted to share about a million from the last week. What antics have your kids been up to lately?
A new way to watch TV
“I participated in a Blog Blast program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Kidoodle.TV. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.” My daughter has become obsessed with the television. I’m still not sure how it happened, but she would watch it all day long if you let her. The problem is,…
ABC Games for toddlers and preschoolers
If you saw my post about the Hot Dots Jr. activity books from Educational Insights, you know how much fun they have been for Maggie and I. Not only did they send me those books to review, they also sent us a set of Alphabet Bean Bags. When I can find one on one time…
What we are thankful for {Tuesday’s Toddler Tales linky}
The best part of listening to Maggie pray is that she starts each prayer with Thank You God. That simple phrase can brighten any day. Plus, it has helped her to remember to be thankful for the things we do have. She follows up that simple, yet powerful phrase with, thank you for……and lists whatever…
Just a little fall cabin fun
We finally had a weekend with no plans, so we headed to the cabin to hang out with grandma and grandpa for a few days. We all had a lot of fun, and a lot of laughs. Maggie helped cook breakfast with grandma. She loves to help cook and couldn’t wait to push her…
The Sweetest Thing {Tuesday’s Toddler Tales linky}
Maggie and Charlie are so amazing! Truly, two of then most wonderful people I have ever met in this world, and they are still young! haha. While I may spend part of my days ready to pull my hair out because they are being a little bit crazy, they can totally surprise me by saying…
So much ~ {Dear Maggie}
Not long after you were born, my dearest friend Katie said something to me that has stuck around forever. Did you ever know that you could love somebody so much? To which I could only reply: Yes, but I had no idea what “so much” meant. 3 years have gone…
Naptime without the battle {Tuesday’s Toddler Tales}
While I had hoped to have this posted before the end of the night on Tuesday, things do not always go as planned. It’s ironic that today’s topic is about nap time. Charlie would not sleep today! Instead, he would sit there and laugh at me! I was not entertained. Silly boy was making me…
Trick or Treat
My kids are a tad bit spoiled. We went trick or treating in the next town over for the morning business trick or treat event. The kids had fun. Charlie just wanted to stop after somebody gave him candy and take everything out of his bucket to decide what he wanted to eat. It was…
My two loves
Seriously people, I love these two so much! They are so darn cute!!!!
Tips for Taming Tantrums {+Tuesday’s Toddler Tales linky}
The deer plate, I want the deer plate, whines my gorgeous little 3 year old {<—–when did that happen, 3?}! No, I want the deer plate, not this deer plate, that deer plate, the one that Charlie happens. We have all been there, haven’t we?! The dreaded tantrum. Bonus points if they do…
Happy 3rd birthday Maggie
Can you believe that this gorgeous, amazing, smart, strong, brave, kind, sensitive little girl is 3 years old? I can’t believe that I have been so lucky to be her mommy. That day changed my life in such an amazing way and every day, every year just keeps getting better and better. I love you…
Toddler mealtime manners {Tuesday’s Toddler Tales linky}
I am the worlds pickiest eater. Okay, maybe not that bad, but I am definitely picky. When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, a lot of things went through my mind, and one of them was, how on earth could I get her to not be a picky eater. I started making…
Encourage good eating by making food fun.
*I received the products in this post for the purpose of this review. All opinions are 100% my own.* Maggie hasn’t always been a good eater. She loves to snack, but doesn’t care for meal time. It was very frustrating to us. I refuse to make meal time a fight though, and was determined…
In the doghouse
As a baby, Maggie was constantly crawling into the dog kennel and playing. It seems, nothing has changed. Now, they both do it. I am not sure if Lady Jane is as enthused as the kids, but they just kept hugging her and each other, all while making sure the door was shut.
Toddler extra-curriculars {+Tuesday’s Toddler Tales linky}
I have spent many years now watching my nieces and nephews play sports, and watched and listened as their parents drove here and there every night. It made me question what my future would be like. I love sports so much, and hope my children enjoy sports, or band or choir, or whatever else they…
We are going on a camping adventure!
*I received the below mentioned products for the purpose of this review. All opinions are 100% my own.* If you could see our house, it looks a little like Toys ‘R Us threw up all over the place. We have more than a few toys! But finding something that can keep the kids’ attention…
We have a kids paradise kind of yard
You may remember when we scored the awesome jungle gym at a garage sale this summer, but check out what we just got for FREE on Craigslist. While John and his friend were reassembling this, the kids had to help! Now I just have to survive the mini heart attacks I have when…
What’s better than the radio on a car ride? {Tuesday’s Toddler Tales linky}
Having a toddler is generally pretty entertaining. Having two is downright hysterical! Living out in the country means that every trip takes at least 20 minutes one way, most of them longer than that. I could go on and on with the silliness and the sweet moments that take place regularly, but I will share…
My two love bugs
I absolutely love this picture. Maggie was trying to pose and in popped Charlie.
