Tips To Declutter Your Children’s Stuff
I have taken on the task of decluttering the daycare room of toys and craft supplies. Like your children's toys and items, over the years things build up because, well, I really don't like decluttering, especially when it comes to my daughter's stuff. It takes a long time, it never seems to be clean and clutter-free… Continue reading Tips To Declutter Your Children’s Stuff
What To Expect When Your Child Enters Daycare For The First Time
I've seen a lot of children come through my daycare. It almost seems like there is a revolving door that constantly brings in and takes out children. It's always a sad time seeing them go, but the anticipation of new children coming always makes it better. I get asked by a lot of parents who… Continue reading What To Expect When Your Child Enters Daycare For The First Time
Things I’ve Learned in 2016
Okay, so I know we are on the second day of 2017, but something had occurred to me while I was taking the day off yesterday (by taking the day off I mean cleaning, doing laundry, and putting away Christmas stuff). I realized that I have learned a lot this past year. I mean, I think… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned in 2016
Children Taboo Words – Let It Go
Tuesday morning, after math class, I trudged downstairs in hopes of finding caffiene. Instead, I saw my mom sitting at the counter watching a video on Facebook. "Let it Go" was playing and I quickly glanced into the playroom to see if the children heard. Fortunately, they were making so much noise they didn't notice.… Continue reading Children Taboo Words – Let It Go
Elf on the Shelf Madness
I look forward to Christmas every year because the children in our daycare work extra hard to behave. Of course, it's easy to say that Santa is watching and, from past experience, sometimes I have to reinforce this by calling Santa. Fortunately, we recently heard about the Elf on the Shelf and it has saved… Continue reading Elf on the Shelf Madness
Mother Knows Best?
Growing up, I always heard: "Mother knows best!" "Just wait until you get older." "You're going to turn out just like me." I was 100% certain that I was never going to turn out like my mom. You see, when I was a teenager I thought, like most teenagers, my mom was strict, mean, and… Continue reading Mother Knows Best?
Horrors of Potty Training
Do not read if you are the faint of heart. I remember living life in bliss, BPT (before potty training) when I didn't think about potty training. It wasn't that I never knew that I'd have to potty train my child, it's just that it never occurred to me that it'd be a full-blown thing.… Continue reading Horrors of Potty Training
Throwback Thursday: Kids and Pets
In honor of "Throwback Thursday" and in hopes of clearing out some of my drafts, I give you one of the first blog posts I had ever written. I remember having a conversation with my friends comparing kids and pets. My friend said that having a pet is a great way to see if you… Continue reading Throwback Thursday: Kids and Pets
When it rains…
You know that sentiment when it rains, it pours? I found that to be true for yesterday. Usually, I try to keep a positive outlook on life and situations because, what's the point of wallowing in the negative when you can focus on the positive. But I swear yesterday was out to get me. As you know… Continue reading When it rains…
