What to buy a Preschooler for Christmas in 2022
Preschool is when gift giving really starts to feel like a challenge – preschoolers have opinions, lots of them, and they aren’t afraid to tell you what they think of your gift! This is also when children’s preferences become really strong, they know what characters and activities they like, they know which sweater is too itchy, and how many of a specific toy they already have. So what do you get a preschooler for Christmas??? Picking out a gift for a preschooler often requires knowing what they like, which is hard because this changes daily. There are some ideas that are universal though! That’s what I have for you today…

Toddler Gift Guide
Toddlers have always been my favorite age group – there are so many wonderful things about this age, BUT they’re so hard to shop for. Let’s be honest, most toddlers would much rather play with the box the gift is wrapped in! Here are some ideas that just might be winners for the toddler on your list this year. Just a reminder, these are affiliate links so I may receive a percentage of the sale, but I really do love and endorse these products. I still find this rainmaker fascinating as an adult, so it makes perfect sense to me that toddlers love it too. The noise is soothing, but…

Helping Children Manage Holiday Stress
The holidays are stressful for everyone – there are so many things to do and remember! Children feel all of this, while also not having the best understanding of why we adults are rushing around and have a little less patience for them. It can be confusing and overwhelming, and it often leads to tantrums and meltdowns as they attempt to process changes to their schedules and routines – which only makes the adults around them even more stressed! The classroom isn’t exempt from all of these feelings and stressors, but there are some ways that teachers can help children manage holiday stress, while still making sure the season is…

Amazing Teacher Gift Ideas for this Holiday Season
I’ve been working on my holiday shopping and the one gift that I always spend the most time selecting is a gift for my daughter’s teachers. After working for so many years as a teacher myself, I fully understand that there are certain things teachers don’t need any more of – they don’t need another coffee mug, teacher ornament, or lotion set. I want to make sure that I’m giving these amazing people something meaningful that really expresses how much our family appreciates them, while also still being something that they’ll actually use! Here are some of the holiday teacher gift ideas that I have in mind for the teachers…

Preparing for Snow Days
Now that my daughter is in elementary school snow days have a totally different meaning! Last week her school had 2 (TWO!) fog days in a row after an already scheduled two-hour delay day. I’m not complaining about the fog days, I fully support the school in keeping children safe, I am however realizing that I need to be a little more prepared in order to keep her busy, and myself sane, on these days! Fog days were easy, once the fog lifted we were able to go do things, like visit the library. Snow days in our area are a different beast – I don’t want to…
