Chicken kabobs for dinner tonight. Super tasty. I tried a yogurt marinade this time, using yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. It really tenderized the meat while keeping the chicken nice and juicy. Super hit with the kids. 😋😋😋 #mommitipsntricks #whatsforsupper #momcooking #momcooks #momcook #toddlermealsforkids #easydinner #easydinners #easydinnerideas #easydinnerrecipes #easydinnerrecipe #soupforthesoul #soupforkids #dinnerideas #dinner #dinnerideas #mealsfortoddlers #mealsforkids https://www.instagram.com/p/CQc9Kd9LAX7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Watermelon and cucumbers salad. This Mediterranean salad is healthy and super easy to make. Chop some watermelon, cucumber, mint and add some feta cheese.

Mother's Day festivities usually includes a yummy dinner. Here is some from dinner, prime rib, California rolls, and clams. All freshly made from home. What did you eat for mother's day?

Getting the kids ready for school is never easy. So I try to do a lot of prep work during the weekend. One way is pre-selecting the kids clothes. Including sweatshirt, t shirt, socks, and pants. I used 99 cent store shoe boxes and label them with the days of the week. That way, every morning is much quicker. What do you do to make life easier and quicker? #mommitipsntricks #gettingready #gettingreadyforschool #quicktricks #schoolprep #momlife #momchores #momplanner #schoolweek #schooldays #schooldays📚 https://www.instagram.com/p/CNgpPsSrBVU/?igshid=10fknsrgo9exm

Have lots of leftover rice? Let's make fried rice. I used chicken, spam, eggs, and broccoli mixed it in with my leftover rice and a yummy dinner. #mommitipsntricks #dinnerideas #dinnertime🍴 #simpledinner #simplemeals #friedrice #leftovermakeover #quickmeals #quickdinner #foodforkids https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJfvEXLZay/?igshid=y9y9fy6q6xdz

This book is one of the first books we bought for my LO. I thought Mother Goose is a great book for little kids, but they never took any interest in it. Recently, they have fallen in love with this book. Their favorite is One two buckle my shoe, Little Miss Muffet, and Little Miss Tucket, and Piper Piper. What's your favorite nursery rhymes? https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXa9EqrgSX/?igshid=1dqb88p4uuzrr

The LO's favorite question is always "mommy, what's the next activity?". It's not easy keeping them busy. This weekend we were playing hungry turtle and imagination magnets. What did you do this weekend to keep your kids busy? #mommitipsntricks #momlife #momblog #momblogger #mombloggers #toddleractivites #toddlerindooractivity #toddlerfun #toddlerpuzzles #toddlerpuzzle #boardgamesforkids #boardgames #imaginationmagnets #magnets #funforkids #funforthewholefamily #playtimefun #funtimes #funtime #funtimes😎 #kidsactivities #busymomlife #busymom #busymoms https://www.instagram.com/p/CML70IvrCUX/?igshid=19hls4nhk0byo

Breakfast is important when you have active toddlers. Oatmeal with milk and blueberries is a quick 5 minute breakfast. Added a potato, spinach, sausage, eggs, and cheese skillet to that mix and now it's a hearty breakfast for the entire family. Yummy yummy in the tummy and everyone is happy. #mommitipsntricks #breakfasttime #breakfastideasforkids #breakfastideas #skillets #breakfastskillet #oatmeal #quakeroats #toddlerbreakfast #yummybreakfast😋 #yummybreakfast😋😋 #foodies #homefood #homefoodie #cooking #homecookedmeal #honecookedmeals #heartybreakfast #timetoeat https://www.instagram.com/p/CMH4v_vrrpN/?igshid=1ihs4gsbwvts0

I've been trying to make it a weekly activity to play board games for my toddlers. This is not only fun, but it teaches them to take turns, patience, follow rules, and also allows us to have more family time. Today we had time for three games, Super stretchy ABC - stretching while practicing the alphabet, The Bones - a stacking game while practicing stacking and precision, and Lucky Ducks Game - practicing shapes and colors, while practicing patience. I change the rules a little if needed to fit their age. What board games have you tried with your toddlers? #mommitipsntricks #momlife #momblogger #momblog #momblogger #boardgames #boardgame #gamesfortoddlers #indooractivitiesforkids #indooractivity #indooractivityforkids #familytime #familytime❤️ #luckyduck #bones #stacking #sortingactivity #sorting #patience #shapes #shapesandcolors #playtime #toddlerfun #toddlerfuntime #boardgamesforkids https://www.instagram.com/p/CMHF0e4Lz-G/?igshid=f23l41e6k45g

Happy Lunar New Year everyone. May you have a healthy, fun, and prosperous year. There are lots of prep work necessary before we celebrated the new year. In order to include my LOs, we spent time making dragon puppets and red lanterns. Super simple to make. I have included the template that I got online. Just color, cut, and glue onto a paper bag. The lantern 🏮, is just basic cutting and stapling them together. Super easy and super fun.

Healthy hearty chicken noodle soup - I had a leftover chicken, lots of veggies for the LOs school lunch and so this is perfect. I made chicken broth boiling the whole chicken, added broccoli, carrots, tomato, mushrooms, corn, napa cabbage, and pasta noodle. Most of the ingredients are what's in my fridge. Another hit with the LOs. 😋😋😋 #mommitipsntricks #healthy #eatinghealthy #simplekidsmeals #simpledinners #dinnerforcoldweather #dinnerideasfortoddlers #dinnerinapot #chickennoodlesoup #chickennoodle #chickennoodlesouprecipe #coldweatherfood #vegetablesforkids #vegetablesforkids #pastafordinner #pastaforkids #soupseason #soupforthesoul #soupweather https://www.instagram.com/p/CKk0OiQrRe9/?igshid=8ol5hyn4wtc

Tonight's dinner was shabu shabu. This is one of my LOs favorite meals. It's perfect for this cold rainy day and it's also rather healthy. I had dumpling, napa cabbage, carrots, wonton, chicken, fish, fish balls, zucchini, and mushrooms. All items hanging out inside my fridge. For sauce we used XO sauce with soy sauce. Nice and yummy for the tummy and it warms up the house. 😋😋😋 #mommitipsntricks #momlife #momblogger #mombloggers #momblog #dinnerinapot #dinnerideas #dinnerideasforkids #dinnerideasfortoddlers #shabushabu #shabu #dinnerforcoldweather #coldweather #warmsthesoul #familymeals #familymeal #familystyle #familylife #familystylemeals #familystyledinner #fishball #fish #napacabbage #dumplings #dumplingdinner #chickenrecipes #chickenrecipe #chickenforlife #dinner #dinnertime https://www.instagram.com/p/CKa5LBbLZEH/?igshid=16teaqshotr27
