8 Table Manners For Kids
Thank you Nuby for sponsoring today's post. I am thankful that my daughter, who is 5, has pretty good table manners. We had to work on it though.

Here is a list of 8 table manners for kids: 1. Wash hands before dinner. 2. Don't complain about the food. 3. Eat when everyone else eats or when your parents say you can eat. 4. … [Read more...]

Children’s Artwork Idea
A family friend gave my mother a gift for Easter that was such a great idea, I decided to duplicate it. Truly an amazing children's artwork idea. Make cards out of your child's artwork! Pretty simple, huh? My daughter loves drawing pictures but I can't keep every one of them. I already knew that about the idea of scanning the artwork and making a book, but some of the her more "favorite" pictures can easily be made into blank note cards. Here is one of her pictures which I named "Happy … [Read more...]
