It’s October, and that means it’s time for PUMPKINS! Do y’all love fall? I love the cooler weather, the crewneck sweatshirts, the natural colors, and the vegetation, including pumpkins. I wanted an activity to welcome the autumn season but that would be both appealing and appropriate for my little one. He loves to bake (heContinue reading “Pumpkin Patch Cake Activity”

Lil’ Helper Kitchen Stool
I don’t know about your kiddos, Momma Hen friends, but my son is a huge fan of helping in the kitchen. If I’m cooking or baking, he’s helping. Of course, there is a hindrance – his height. He can’t reach the countertop on his own. So I decided that we needed to do a quickContinue reading “Lil’ Helper Kitchen Stool”
4 Toddler Behavioral Reinforcement Books
This past week, I was talking with my colleagues about books that support good behavior for small children. As we talked, I realized I have collected quite a few of these that I should probably share as a resource for my fellow momma hens! Here’s the background.

Family Vacation & Traveling with a Toddler
We just returned from a wonderful and relatively low-key family vacation. Many of my readers know that I live right outside of Knoxville, Tennessee, and our vacation spot was Chattanooga, Tennessee – about two hours south of home.

Okay, fellow momma hens…! Who can relate? MY BABY IS GROWING UP TOO FAST! I am SO shocked at how BIG my little one is. He turns three today, and I canNOT believe that the gummy-bear-looking baby from my sonograms is now a small child. Where did my baby go? I didn’t believe my ownContinue reading “Hot Wheels Backyard Birthday Bash”
Helpful Dollar Tree Items for Parenting in the Pew
This one is for all of my Christian momma hen friends out there. Those of you who attend church regularly and have a little one (or multiple little ones) know that church is an entirely different experience when you’re on your own versus when you have a child to tend to.

Valentine’s Day Gift Bag for Your Little One
It’s mid-February, and that means everyone’s favorite heart-shaped holiday is approaching! I’ll be honest – both Jake and myself believe this is a totally commercialized and materialistic holiday, but I also feel like any reason to celebrate your loved ones is worth taking advantage of. So, having said that, I took the opportunity to makeContinue reading “Valentine’s Day Gift Bag for Your Little One”
Easy DIY Kid’s Room Decor
When my little one was born, a wonderfully sweet lady at my church quilted him the most beautiful piece – a toddler-sized bedspread that matched our nursey theme of woodland animals. The original nursery, in my home when I was still married, was in soft pastel colors with woodland animals, and this blanket had brighterContinue reading “Easy DIY Kid’s Room Decor”
Baby & Toddler Books You Can’t Go Without
When I was growing up, we read all of the time. As a kid, I used to sneak books into bed and read in the dark after bedtime. I guess reading Babysitters Club really was a thrilling experience.
