One activity Little Man has enjoyed is making "Cheerio Bracelets". This is great for toddlers because it works those fine motor skills. But what is a Cheerio Bracelet? It's just Cheerios (or any other round similar cereal (like Froot Loops) strung onto pipe cleaners (chenille sticks) and twisted into a bracelet.

For the longest time, after I would make a dinner that JP and I really liked, we'd say to "put it on rotation". The funny thing was, JP and I had no "rotation" and some of the meals were my own creation, as I was standing their making dinner. No way to save them Pinterest-style! And as great as Pinterest is, sometimes it's hard to comb back through the countless pins to find that one chicken recipe you pinned 6 months ago. Hence.... "The Rotation".

Play doh! Play doh! PLAY DOH! The number one activity in our house during this lockdown time has been playing with Play doh. A quick wipe of the kitchen table, and we're ready to dump out all of the scissors, rollers, molds, cutters, and squishers and get down to business. Here's a great recipe you can make at home with kids (including toddlers). This recipe is a tad smaller than the recipe you would find on one of the brand name packages advertising this recipe. I like it because it's perfect for our family of 3 to get a sweet-treat fix but not have to live with leftovers or sugar rushes for a whole week. It's super simple to double this recipe too. The numbers are so easy, I've got it memorized by this point.
Right now, we are on Day 15 of our "self-quarantine". I use that term because only this past Monday (3.23.2020) were we given a "stay at home recommendation" from our governor.
So, I'm interested in sharing some activities and recipes I have during this time while we're cooped up in the house with our 2 year old. I belong to a #boymom group on Facebook and I'm following trends I see of what mom's are looking for. My hope is with being able to spend some extra time to edit and curate content, I can provide mamas the link to this blog to share ideas more. As right now, I sometimes can't go into detail and give moms the ideas and support we need in this time. And shamelessly, I'm tying my blog to my online store for My Little Monster Boutique. In November 2019, I told myself I was going to commit more to my store and 2020 my goal was to get some regular products available. It would be remiss of me if I didn't use some of my new found time to further improve my business. Best, Chelsea |
