It’s the time of year to do a thorough clean of your home – and if you’re pregnant, your nesting instincts may be kicking in soon, anyway. If you’re like us, the number of projects you need to tackle is overwhelming, so where do you begin?
We suggest making a list of things you’d like to organize in your home and then prioritizing projects. If possible, focus on one room or closet at a time. Of course, there will be some overlap but try to complete one task before moving on to the next to be most efficient.
Utilize these tips to really focus your efforts and ensure long-term success with staying organized:
Giving birth is a wonderful time for most families. It is a time of closeness and bonding with newborns. It is natural to think about hiring midwives or doulas to assist in this special time. Here is a breakdown of the differences.
Instead of stopping at the store this year to pick up a box of premade Valentine’s cards for your little one, try your hand at a homemade Valentine’s craft. This year is all about handmade meaningful gifts.
2024 is almost upon us. It’s that time of the year, whether you make plans, goals, or resolutions. We like to call them SMART resolutions. Here are some suggestions for the new year.
Traditionally during the holidays, you may have gone “all out” with your decorating. But now you have a little one crawling, toddling or walking and ready to get into everything. So, how can you decorate while keeping your little one safe from harm? We have some tips to help you find a balance.
Tis the season. Finally! So this year I put a lot of thought into kid gifts. I chose things that were geared towards other cultures, that would make kids work together and that provided just all out joy. There are Christmas Missions. Here are some ideas to get not only holiday season going but to help make it a little festive for others.
Homemade Christmas Garland: This is available at Target, is super affordable. I gave it to siblings to work together on a Christmas Mission. https://www.target.com/p/create-your-own-paper-garland-kit-mondo-llama-8482/-/A-88292833#lnk=sametab
Make your own ornaments. I am loving the homemade stuff this year. It just makes Christmas so much better. I found the cutest homemade ornaments for kids that were plaster and came with paint!
The first gift was the movie “Elf”, then supplies to decorate their own room and “help mom”. I included cute little notes from the “elves” that I made on my Cricut.
Gingerbread Houses – There are so many to choose from!
“Christmas isn’t all about stuff. Sometimes it’s about giving to those that don’t have enough”. Give the kids a gift card and tell them to work together to buy a toy for someone else. You may be surprised.
Feed the hungry. Donate to a food pantry. Put a dinner together and deliver it.
Return gifts to Santa: Okay I can not take credit for this one but it was such an amazing idea. Have your kids go through their old toys and return them to Santa on Christas Eve ;).
Learn about another culture and how they celebrate. Include a homemade toy for Kwanzaa or a dreidel for Hanukkah.
