With a growing toddler, I’m always on the look out for fun dinnertime ideas. I recently made these Chili Mac Cheese Pies for him and they were such a hit! I just knew I had to create this recipe and share with you all here on the blog. I mean, it has 4 items my son loves: Bread, pasta, cheese, and meat. Plus it’s super easy!

or Half pound of lean ground beef with 1 teaspoon chili powder (or half a packet)

Simple Earth Day Craft for Toddlers ~ #EarthDay

By 11 Comments

Earth Day Craft idea for a simple treeIn case you didn’t already know, Earth Day 2013 will occur on April 22! Earth Day serves as an annual day to celebrate worldwide the environment, as well as to demonstrate support for environmental protection. So my two year old might not exactly understand everything there is to know about why the environment needs protection. However, since he loves trees, I tell him Earth Day is to celebrate the trees!

The other day we worked on a simple craft project that is easy for toddlers! All you need is a toiler paper roll (or a paper towel roll cut shorter), and then green card stock paper to create an adorable free standing tree. If you don’t have green card stock, you can use the card board of a cereal box and either paint it green, or glue green construction paper on it.

By 15 Comments

I received this information as a blogger for Walt Disney Publications. I was not financially compensated and all opinions are my own.

New episode of Doc McStuffins coming May 3!My son has been on quite a Disney Jr. kick lately. I’m sure you’ve seen me post that Jake and The Neverland Pirates is his favorite, but Henry Hugglemonster is quickly becoming a hit in our household. Another one of his favorites is DOC MCSTUFFINS! I think he loves seeing all the toys come to life and as a mom I love what the show teaches about compassion and other lessons that are great for toddlers.

In just a few days, starting April 12, Disney Junior will invite all its fans to vote for their favorite DOC MCSTUFFINS toy character! Voting will take place at DisneyJunior.com/Doc. You can vote for Hallie, Lambie, Stuffy or Chilly! Disney will reveal which toy received the most votes on May 3 during the premiere of a brand new episode! Speaking of which…

Be sure to catch the newest DOC MCSTUFFINS episode “Bronto Boo-Boos / Brontosaurus Breath” on May 3, at 10:00 AM EST/PT over on Disney Channel. In this episode, a new toy dinosaur named Bronty learns all about the importance of brushing his teeth, as well how lessons in playing with little ones who are smaller than him. Afterward, be sure to watch a special DOC MCSTUFFINS marathon of episodes highlighting the winning toy! This is a must-see for any DOC fan! Especially if your favorite toy wins.

Our Easter Celebration 2013

By 10 Comments

Last weekend you may have noticed I took a little break from blogging to enjoy Easter weekend with my family. My siblings and their significant others flew into town, and we all congregated at my parents for family fun.

Since my son was just a few days shy of turning 2 years old, we tried to make Easter a fun and celebratory event for him! First up? An Easter Egg Hunt!! This was his first real egg hunt and he loved it! He found eggs that not even I spotted while trying to assist him.

He had so much fun running around! Don’t worry, he didn’t get anywhere near the water. My mom was nice enough to hide the eggs around the yard, and slip little prizes into each egg. I know this will sound cheesy, but it truly was a joy to watch him enjoy his first real Easter.
