I'm sure most of you have heard of toy rotation. Basically, it is keeping some toys stored away and every so often, rotating what toys your children have out available for them to use. It was something we did often at daycare. It was great to help keep the kids engaged. But did you also know that it can help save you money? Kids get bored with toys after a while. It is tempting to just buy some new toys or activities. But why do that when you can just rotate your kids' toys instead? There are … [Read more...]
Waiting on the Lord
Strength will rise when we wait upon the Lord. Do you have any idea how hard that is? After 6 weeks of no issues, Abby had another one of her prolapses. And I'm angry. Angry, upset, frustrated, sad, and disheartened. Full of questions. Why is this happening again when we worked so hard to get her healed? Why is their no treatment for this issue that will just heal her once and for all? Why is God allowing this to happen again? Why are we still being hit from all sides? Why can't we … [Read more...]

Toddler Christmas Traditions
So many of my favorite Christmas traditions really didn't matter to Abby when she was younger. She had no interest in making cookies or watching certain Christmas movies.

Some things this year may not happen. Like decorating Christmas cookies. Her health issues right now don't allow her to eat them so it … [Read more...]
Dealing with a Sick Child
I shared on the Logger's Wife Facebook page but I would like to share here as well.We are dealing with a sick child right now. Not, "oh she has a cold" sick. She has been having issues with her stools for one week today and 4 days ago, she had a rectal prolapse.Technically, it is a mucusal prolapse or partial rectal prolapse. Basically, when she poops, a bit of her rectum comes out as well. It goes back in within 15-20 minutes but they don't know why this is happening. We are waiting on some lab … [Read more...]
Using Tape to Create Toy Volume Control
I don't know about you but I cannot stand noisy toys that don't come with toy volume control. Or they do but even the quiet setting is loud. And those obnoxious books that make noise! They are always so loud. Those are always the ones the kids want to use over and over and over too. When I worked daycare many years ago, we used a simple trick to make all those noisy things quieter. Packing tape! It is as simple as it sounds. Just take a piece of packing tape and cover the speaker of … [Read more...]
