Tot Tuesday is a weekly feature where I highlight a special kids activity, frugal recipe for kids, kids tutorial, etc. Many of you know that I am the section editor for the What to Buy section on the popular site Momtastic. I link to my articles on Momtastic all the time, but I’m not sure how many of you have really ventured throughout the site. There are some really great articles on Momtastic, and some great DIY and tutorials as {Read More}
I have dabbled in arts and crafts with my kids since they were itty bitty: Oddly, I am not a very artistic person. I think a lot of adults assume that you have to be artistically inclined to enjoy arts and crafts with your children. Not so! My children can likely draw better than I can if I’m being brutally honest (for reference, they are 3 and 2 years old) Regardless, I have enjoyed creating art projects with children since {Read More}
This is a guest post by Daria at Mom in Management Total project cost $5.50. I love shopping at Goodwill. I especially love their 50% off sales.

Right now I am posting on my blog because a harmless little Halloween dress I was making for my daughter got the best of me. It’s {Read More}
So I really really wanted a button. One of those cute little buttons everyone has on their blogs. Only I’m not so talented in the html/photoshopping department and I didn’t want to spend money on one! I searched around a bit and figured out that I could use Picnik to take one of my own images and add text/resize it to button-y size (which I found out is generally 125X125). I played around with it a bit, and let me {Read More}
I detest the smell of Play Doh. I remember disliking it even when I was a little girl and I loved playing with it myself. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I almost had to leave working in the church nursery because the kids were playing with play doh and the smell just overwhelmed me. Not to mention…it’s crumbly, it sticks to your carpet, it goes dry very easily, it can be expensive! The early childhood educator in me {Read More}
My children attend a Mother’s Day Out program (that I also work at!) two days a week during the school year. Since Noah is almost 3 1/2, he has been sleeping on a nap mat at school since last year*. Lizzie on the other hand is only 18 months, so imagine my surprise when they said she would be sleeping on a nap mat as well! While I wish her teachers all the luck in the world with that (seriously, {Read More}
