These books are adorable and my kids think they are hilarious. The whole “Dinosaur vs….” series is about a dinosaur who faces big kid tasks and tries to get out of them, but the tasks always win. Things like going to the potty, being quiet at the…

Easy Egg Salad
Were there egg shells in this egg salad? You bet there was! That’s what happens when toddlers make the entire thing. But, the recipe was really good and it was fun that the kids got to make our lunch today. They ate the entire thing, so…
Mini Muffin Pancakes
This recipe was such a fun creative outlet for my toddlers. Was the final product incredibly delicious? To me, it really wasn’t, but the kids ate a ton of them and were proud of what they did. 🙂 They would be delicious with just raspberries, blueberries,…
Helen Lester and Her Quirky Penguin Friend
Tacky the Penguin. How my kids love this quirky little penguin who marches to the beat of his own drum and finds that being different is an amazing thing to be. They love these books and so do I. I love the message that Tacky teaches: it’s…
Bananas for Muffins
I love muffins, but I am not a huge fan of bananas. These are the only banana muffins I have ever made that I really love, and since I always have a few extra bananas that are starting to go brown, this is the perfect excuse…
Tips for Quick + Cute Toddler Hairstyles from Tessi Wood
So excited to have Tessi Wood as our first guest post. We met while our husbands were in grad school together. We had just had our first babies and we were at the same point in life. Trying to figure out how to be a first-time…
Mercer Meyer, Monsters and More
You may remember these books from your childhood since Mercer Meyer began writing and illustrating his books in 1966 and has 300 published titles. Well guess what, toddlers still love them! I have read these books over and over again and both Jack and Nora adore…
Delicious Disney Dole Whip
I am a huge fan of recipes that take less than five ingredients, so this recipe fit neatly into my “perfect recipe for kids” category. I was a little skeptical that the consistency would turn out less like ice-cream and more like a smoothie, but I was…
Dreamy Orange Creamies
These orange creamsicles were delicious. My husband came home and ate three and then asked if we could make more… which, of course, we did. They were smooth and creamy and tasted like an Orange Julius on a stick. The great part about it is they…
Toddlers in the Garden: Planting time, again!
We were told that some plants need to be planted earlier and some later, so we planted lettuce and peas first, in the earlier spring and we planted everything else about a month later. The picture below clearly describes my two-year-olds interest in gardening this round.…
Bread in a Bag
This bread tasted really good. I was a little skeptical when I saw those cute little misshapen balls of dough go into the pans but they turned out amazing. I ate almost a half a mini loaf while the kids were napping…terrible, I know. HOW TO…
Toddlers in the Garden: Weeding + Planting
A lot of the actual prep work had to be done by Jed and I. There was just no way Jack and Nora were going to be able to pull out huge weeds and till the soil. But.. they really loved trying. We gave Jack a…
Toddlers in the Garden: Planting Starters
So this year my husband and I decided to start gardening with the kids. (ages 4 and 2) We are by no means gardeners, so if you are looking for tips on how to make a spectacular garden, this definitely isn’t the place.:) We DID decide…
NO David Shannon
Many mom’s know about the “No David” series; most mom’s have experienced the “No David” series with their toddlers, I think that is what makes these books so hilarious. My kids memorized and related with David’s books by the age of two! 🙂 What I didn’t…
Choosing Books Your Toddler Will Love
I am a library nerd. In fact I am such a library nerd that every time my husband and I look at potential places to live in the future, I have asked if there is a library in the town/city. I think it started when I was…
Blackberry Banana Bliss Smoothie
This was such an easy recipe for kids. My two-year-old could easily do the entire thing by herself. Kids loved chopping the banana and pouring all the ingredients into the blender. They especially loved pushing the button and watching everything blend together. The consistency probably wasn’t…
