Pumpkin Muffins, Expiration Dates, & Dinosaurs

Pumpkin Muffins, Expiration Dates, & Dinosaurs

Posted on July 1, 2025July 8, 2025Author TaylorPosted in Children, ReduceLeave a Reply

Why did the dinosaur cross the trench? To get out of the way of the (pumpkin/wets) lava! We made pumpkin muffins today. I love baking with my son. I think baking and cooking are great things to do together. We can control the ingredients (less sugar) and be zero waste when we bake and cook…

This is not an ad or sponsorship. I ordered this for my son years ago in response to mail or email I received. “The baby book, reimagined.” I loved the line on this for my son. We have tons of photos and videos, but how do you capture the cute things he says or some…

Preschool Tip: Pip-Squeaks Washable Markers

Pipsqueaks are great for preschool kids learning to write. The shorter length is easier for them to learn proper grip and control. Check with your neighbors if they may either need yours, or if you want some from your neighbors. Our school supplies get sent home every year and these are what my son was…

Berry baskets Can Be Recycled

Berry baskets Can Be Recycled

Posted on May 27, 2025June 1, 2025Author TaylorPosted in Children, Food, RecyclingLeave a Reply

Berry baskets can be recycled. Trash the pad. Rinse and dry the container. I get this question fairly often so I hope this helps and please share this information.
