Ingredients:

Ingredients for Rice Krispies:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • Two 10 oz. bags of mini marshmallows
  • 10 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

Ingredients for Dr Seuss Rice Krispies:

  • 2 T solid shortening
  • 3/4 cup Wilton white chocolate melts
  • 9 large red Airheads candies (or red fruit roll ups)
  • Black write-on gel
  • Red write-on gel


Directions:

Directions for Rice Krispies:

  1. Spray a 9 x 9 pan with Pam and set aside.
  2. In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over low heat.
  3. Add the marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly.
  4. Once the marshmallows are melted, remove from the heat and stir in the cereal and optional salt until well-coated.
  5. Using a rubber spatula (spray with Pam for easier handling), transfer the cereal mixture to the prepared pan and press down firmly and evenly.
  6. Allow the Rice Krispies to cool in the pan completely.

Assembly Directions for Dr. Seuss Treats:

  1. Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Cut the prepared Rice Krispies (from recipe above) into 6 even long rectangles.
  3. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the solid shortening for 40 seconds or until melted.
  4. Add the white chocolate melts and stir until completely melted.
  5. Immediately coat each Rice Krispies stick with the melted white chocolate and place on the baking sheet to “set” for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, cut each Airheads piece into 2 pieces lengthwise. You will have 18 pieces total.
  7. Once the chocolate on the Rice Krispies is dry, take an Airhead piece and wrap around a Rice Krispies stick at the very top of the stick. Pinch at the back to seal.
  8. Wrap another Airheads piece around the stick about 1/2-1 inch down from the top one. Pinch at the back to seal.
  9. Repeat step 7 with another Airheads piece. Complete steps 6-8 until all of the Rice Krispies have 3 airheads pieces alternating with white chocolate for the hat.
  10. With the black write-on gel, pipe two eyes, a nose and whiskers on each stick.
  11. At the very bottom of each stack, pipe a large “X” with the red write-on gel. Fill it in with the gel to resemble a bow tie.

Potty Training Tips and Tricks

Potty training can be tricky. From accidents to night-wets to consistency to motivation, we have some of the best Potty Training Tips and Tricks. Hacks to help you and your toddler succeed. 

Potty Training Tips and Tricks

Who dreads potty training? Mothers who have been there before, definitely don’t look back on this period of time with glee. I remember with my first I was in a rush to get her out of diapers and potty trained. With my second, I probably delayed longer than she needed to go but it was much easier training.

My best advice, coming from a mother who has trained two and needs to train three more, is don’t rush it. I definitely had a better experience with my second having taken my time and discussed it months before actually jumping in. She also was able to see her older sibling use the potty and wanted to do the same. When you begin, give your child a lot of liquids. I found it best to go strait to panties and to stay home. A lot of movies and a lot of fun outdoors. Initially we set a timer. If you can put your child in front of the timer, it gives them control and they like that. Consider 30 to 90 minute increments.

The best advice for getting through the night was waking your child. Well not technically waking.  I picked up my child out of bed. They pretty much remained asleep and sat them on the toilet. I did this right before I went to bed, around 10 PM each evening. I whispered in their ear, “go potty” and she easily went potty. This saved us a lot from bed-wetting in the night.

Best of all, bring a sense of humor and perhaps a drink at night (mama needs it!) Enjoy these Potty Training Tips and Tricks and be sure to share with us any hacks or tricks you had when training your own child to use the bathroom.

Stickers are exciting, Here’s a fun Free Printable Potty Training Chart to help your little one stay motivated during the potty training journey. (Pick up star stickers HERE) | Alice and Lois

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Pan to stay home and drink lots of liquids. This will give you toddler plenty of opportunities for practice and success!

For convenience, when potty training store the potty seat on the wall near the toilet with a Command hook. | Everyday Organizing

C


Pull-ups has an amazing resource. Get your child excited to start potty training by receiving a phone call from one of their favorite Disney characters. | Pull-Ups


We all know that a toddler wants to do their own thing! This potty watch has three different reminder times (30, 60 or 90 minutes) plus flashing lights and music gently remind your toddler when to go. Get it HERE.


This tip comes from me! Potty training in the night can be hard. Limit liquids 1 to 2 hours before bed. I would always pick up my sleeping toddler at 10 PM (around my bed time) and sit her on the toilet. I would whisper in her ear to “go pee pee on the potty.” This limited our nighttime accidents by A LOT – almost non existent. I did this for months to close to a year. A potty light would be great for those night time visits.


Who wants to clean the poo? Use coffee filters when your child has to poop. Obviously these don’t flush, so just toss in the diaper pail. I always used a plastic grocery bag. | Mama Frankenstein


When traveling, you can use a diaper. Keep a cheap potty chair in your car along with a few diapers. If your child needs to go to the bathroom, open a diaper and put in the bottom of the potty chair. When he is done, wrap up the diaper and done. No mess. | A Haven of Chaos

As a mom of 5, take it from me. The worse thing to clean during potty training is the car seat after an accident. Pick up a waterproof car seat pad (or Piddlepad). We also used changing pad pads or old burp cloths. | Etsy Store LaneyJDesigns



Create a fun potty treat jar. One M&M for sitting on the potty, two M&Ms for going pee-pee and three M&Ms for going poo-poo. | A Pumpkin and a Princess

Put your child backwards on the toilet and give them a dry erase marker. Let them color away. | Source Unknown


This is one of those, why didn’t’ I think of that items. My child hated the automatic flushing toilet! Carry a pack of post-it notes in your purse. In public bathrooms, place a sticky-note over the sensor to relieve fears! | My Crazy Blessed Life


Tell those cute toddlers they get to pull the paper down to the paper – and when it gets there, they tear it off! (Honestly this would work for my older kids too – anyone else!?!) | Today’s the Best Day

Speaking of the potty, another genius idea – take a look at this potty training tip! Drop blue food coloring in the potty. Tell your child when they go, the water will magically turn green! | Source Unknown



Make your own training pants for potty training with this tutorial! | Life Sew Savory

Create a potty chart with milestones… like Candyland. Place a small sticker on each hallow square and a larger sticker on each solid square. Each solid square gets a reward. | Steps Naptime Notes

Create a potty zone with books, changing of underwear, bubbles, and or something to color. You can put a puppy pad below the toilet. | Source Unknown


Pull-Ups has the Top 5 Potty Training Games | Pull-Ups

Hit up the Dollar Store or Target’s dollar section before you begin training (remember you want to be home a few days). Have a reward potty treat bag for hitting milestones. | Embellish Goods

These might be useful, take a look at these Top 10 Potty Training Apps. | Source Unknown

Toddler Tips and Tricks – Hacks for New and Old Moms

I don’t know what’s more challenging. The day you bring your child home from the hospital, the terrible twos or the terror-acious threes! If I had to choose, I would say get all the advice and tips you can before hitting the toddler years. Getting those those days of independence.

How many times have you taken your child off the stroller and it is tipped over? Use Ankle Weight as Stroller Counterbalance to keep your stroller from tipping. We got our umbrella stroller here and ankle weights here.



Make An Instant Art Bib With Glad Press n’ Seal. No washing of clothing involved! Just press and seal the plastic directly onto front of the shirt for an instant art smock. | Raddest Mom


Turn any cup into a sippy cup! These Boon Snug Silicone Sippy Lids come in blue, orange, and green HERE.



Have fun with this cheerio necklace hack. A great way to keep snack off the floor! | Raising Miss Matilda

Use an old shampoo bottle to help smaller children reach the sink. | Source

We took my son to an amusement park the other weekend. The trip was for the older kids but I felt awful about how overheated he became. Take a look at this portable battery-operated fan, perfect for a stroller (or car seat!)


This is one of those, why didn’t I think of that items. My child hated the automatic flushing toilet! Carry a pack of post-it notes in your purse. In public bathrooms, place a sticky-note over the sensor to relieve fears! | My Crazy Blessed Life

Speaking of the potty, another genius idea – take a look at this potty training tip! Drop blue food coloring in the potty. Tell your child when they go, the water will magically turn green! | Source Unknown


Since having the twins and having less hands for carrying things, I have learned to have a mommy hook or carabiner to hold excess items like diaper bags. shopping bags and grocery baskets (for quick run ins!)


Sleep train your child with their very own big girl/big boy clock. I love these toddler alarm clocks that tell you when it is day or night (to keep your child in bed!) We found this sleep training clock here.

We found the Hatch Baby Rest Sound Machine and Light and have really enjoyed it with the boys.


What an easy way to keep track of the beginning of a chore chart. Use a manila folder, cut fold it in half, slice it into 5-ish chores and add magnetic tape for opening and closing when a chore is done. You can open the list each morning to start over. | Source Unknown

Have a lot of snack pouches that are hard to store? Try this hack – Baby Food Pouch Slider (similar one here)! (Also seen in our Life Hacks and Newborn Hacks and Tips!)


Mess free painting. Paint with an egg carton – toss when you are done! | Mom Dot

No-mess applesauce! Pick up a single-serve cup + cut straw – parenting hack! | Source Unknown


Make your own spill proof mason jar for snacks! | Babble


Create a timeout chair! We love this timeout chair with a timer. It lets your child know when they can get up! | Source Unknown (we found some here)


Summer vacation with kids?!? Packing is stressful for me, so put their full outfits in a big Ziploc, so you can just grab out of suit case without thinking! Put the dirty clothes from the previous day in the Ziploc! | Pin Lady


Tired of a stroller that takes up the entire trunk – stand it up! This family used a bungee cord to stand the stroller up-right providing room for groceries, suitcases and more! I bet they have a lot more tips! | Large Families on Purpose


We all know that we have done it – hide your candy where the kids will never look! | Source Unknown

Create the cheapest toddler bumpers (baby bumpers) with pool noodles. This pool noodle hack and also be used on tables, fire places, the edges of doors (to prevent from closing ones fingers) and more! | Montana Prairie Tales


Someone gave me this tip when I first had my children and I began as soon as they were born. Washing toddler socks in a mesh laundry bag is such a great idea to keep little socks together. Another one I washed them, was safety pinning them together. Do this if you have one child (not if you have 5 – easier to keep track of the safety pins!) | Mom Hacks 4 Everyday


Use painters tape to create parking spaces for even the kids vehicles! | The Organizing Junkie (also seen in our Easy Garage Storage Solutions and Hacks.)


Do you have a toddler that loves to take off their diaper – take a look at what Greta Cheney did!

Use an empty wipes container to store travel snacks for your kids. It’s the ideal size for kids’ hands — and you can even keep food cold by putting a reusable ice pack at the bottom. | Practical Parenting Ideas

Are motor skills developing? Pick up a Sandwiches ‘N More Toddler Utensil so your child can hold a sandwich. Grab yours HERE.


Cut watermelon into watermelon sticks. This tutorial is perfect for little hands! | Sober Julie

Update: Also learn about the benefits of Juice Plus!

During the beginning of the year, I took on a lifestyle change. I was dreading the diet that was beginning but after baby #3 the weight wasn’t coming off as easily as I remembered. I knew I was eating whatever I pleased. I was not eating in abundance (okay, I was a times) but I was really making the wrong choices. I took on a 28 day detox and cleanse. It focused a lot on eating protein (two shakes a day) and organically. I also was eliminating items like soy, sugar, and simple carbs. The change in eating made a world of a difference in my body. First, I always felt full. I made sure to eat every two hours. Second, I was no longer craving foods. I mean I would HAVE to eat chocolate daily. I mean, if I didn’t get this sweet treat I could go into a rage. Third, I was noticing a change in the way I felt. The weight did not drop initially but over time it did. My body recognized the change. It started burning some fat storage. In addition to looking better, I felt like I had energy.

During that detox, I watched a Documentary entitled Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. The focus of the documentary was drinking juice (made from juiced vegetables and fruits) daily. In the case of the main character, he was doing this daily for every meal. I wanted to adopt this idea daily for health, not to fill every meal.

I have found having a juicer (over a blender) is very important. The Breville is by far the most popular brand.


Below are some of the most amazing juice recipes (using a juicer) I was able to acquire in my new juicing challenge.

Free Moving Printable | We’ve Moved!

Let me share with you, in the past two years my family and I have moved – TWICE. One was a cross country move (with movers), the second was moving four houses down (on the same street) while six months pregnant. I almost  greatly prefer the cross-country move! There was nothing pretty about me walking up and down the street with a huge belly and a load of boxes (yes, protective readers, I know carrying boxes when pregnant is a no-no and I am happy to report, we had a healthy baby boy this past October.)  Regardless, I learned my lesson that hot summer, with the worse abdominal cramping. We settled in our new home, though, and with a young baby at home, I am ignoring the boxes in the corner that never got unpacked.


Moving along (no pun intended)) moving so often has taught me some of the best lessons. In fact, I share many of those in our Top 50 Moving Hacks and Tips. A few of my favorites include creating garment bags for clothing out of garbage bags, place Styrofoam plates between breakable plates, reuse toilet paper rolls and egg cartoons and my favorite, color code your boxes based on rooms they need to go. Your movers, friends and family with thank you for this last advice. You all also appreciate not hearing the question, “where does this box go?” 100 times.

I also learned when you move often, no one has your address. This last Christmas, with a new infant in my arms, I worked hard to get Christmas cards out early so  that friends and family could have our return address. I slipped inside these adorable “We’ve Moved” notes. You could also print these notes, take a cute photo like I did below and upload the image to your Facebook wall (assuming you have a private Facebook page.) No need for that address to be public.

I welcome you to use and enjoy these free printable “we’ve moved” cards however you wish. Please keep in mind, they are for  personal use only. These are my gift to you for being such amazing and loyal readers!

One last tip. On your next move, consider getting help – wish I had taken advantage of friends, but our pride (and the close proximity of our home) made us deny help. Feed your friends with water and food and I am sure they will be more than happy to help – who doesn’t love a good afternoon pizza and an iced cold tea!?!

Happy move!
