Early learning and purposeful play S2 EPISODE 002 :: Are you a parent of a small-scale Smallie? You know – those snack-obsessed sponges that ask a ton of questions, soak up everything they see and hear, and have the uncanny ability to melt and break your heart all at the same time? Yes, I’m talking […]
Family Halloween Compilation 2021 :: FAM-O-WEEN
George and I have never been much into the costume world ourselves, but ever since Smallie, Smallie 2.0 (and the furry smallie siblings that preceded them) came into our lives, we can’t imagine a Halloween without fully immersing ourselves… as a family. Or what has eventually evolved into what we like to call, Fam-o-ween. Along the […]
Back To Homeschool, Hello Preschool
Here we are – it’s back to homeschool 2021/2022. The reaction to this decision has been relatively divided – understandably so. Why on earth would I go back to the craziness that was 2020? The truth is – though it was a bumpy year, in more ways than one, we finally found our footing. We […]
One on One Time with my Toddler :: Coco Village Bike
One on one time with my toddler while homeschooling my 9 year old, has been near impossible these last couple months. In the summer it was easy to bring both of them out, keep both of them in, play with both of them on the beach (or in my case, read my book happily while […]
Age Definer Products for Tired Parents :: Aloisio Cosmetics Giveaway
Disclaimer :: We received the Aloisio Cosmetics Age Definer Serum and Moisturizer for review. All opinions are our own. Being parents of a school aged child and a toddler, in our “advanced” years, right smack in the midst of a pandemic no less, is no easy feat. But here we are. Barely Surviving. but… Shockingly Thriving. We’ve […]
Pretend Play with the Coco Village Mini Market
Disclaimer :: We received the Coco Village Wooden Mini Market pretend play set for review. All opinions are our own. Our little ones haven’t spent much time at the supermarket lately for obvious reasons, so we decided we’d give them a little dose of market life in the comfort of their own home. A Wooden Mini […]
The Impact of Social Distancing :: Homeschooling with a Toddler (In the House)
Homeschooling is one thing, but it’s a whole other ballgame homeschooling with a toddler in the house. Especially when he gives you this look… Right up until two years ago, it was just Little Mama and I. She was my partner, my tiny little extra appendage that came with me everywhere. Running errands, learning, doing […]
The Impact of Social Distancing :: Homeschooling the Reluctant Learner
How am I going to get my work done, support my now work-at-home husband, take care of my toddler, and homeschool my reluctant learner child? Is it just me, or is the Global Pandemic stay home order throwing all households with kids into a tailspin? A couple weeks ago, I was on my phone feverishly […]
The Impact of Social Distancing on Family and How to Manage Life at Home
Social distancing means strengthening your family bond. I’ve always considered myself a woman destined to be a mom. I feel like I worked hard all my life, went through an array of career changes, placed all those fancy and not so fancy life experiences in a box, tied it up with a nice pretty bow, and […]
Beauté Pacifique Vitamin A Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream – For the Tired Mama
Disclosure: Sass & Smalls was provided with Beauté Pacifique Vitamin A Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream for review. All opinions are our own. Being a mom of an extremely curious toddler and a busy kiddo at school, has not only kept my adrenaline levels at an all time high and my energy at an all time low […]
5 Strategies for Raising an Independent Toddler :: Coco Village 2 in 1 Balance Bike
Raising an Independent toddler, child, or human for that matter, hasn’t always been part of my M.O as mom. Anyone who knows me well – heck, anyone who’s seen me with anyone’s child, let alone my own, knows that I completely define the meaning of helicopter parent. I am guilty of hovering, following, peeking, checking […]
A First Birthday Luau for our Rainbow Baby
It all began with this shirt… When our faves from Knuckleheads gifted Little Man his very own button down Hawaiian shirt, we were excited for him to grow into it. But for some reason, we just couldn’t figure out on what occasion he could wear it, in spite of the fact he is in every […]
DIY Jessie Toy Story Party ACTIVITIES :: On a Budget
We survived the prep, we sorted out the food, we finalized the decorations. So, what next? Planning the Toy Story party activities was our most favourite part of the process. We brought out the toys. We soaked in the vibrant, bold colours. We jumped in the inflatable houses. We had an all around great time! I […]
DIY Jessie Toy Story Party FOOD :: On a Budget
What’s a party without food, right? That’s our philosophy anyway. Even better, Toy Story Party Food! You can have all the decor and do all the preparation you want, but at the end of the day, those kids are looking for some good eats. Then again, if food isn’t top priority to the party planner, […]
A DIY Jessie Toy Story Party on a Budget :: DECOR
Little Mama‘s DIY Jessie Toy Story Party was ready to go after a few weeks of preparation (see our Toy Story party prep post here). We were so excited, and a little… overwhelmed. Little Mama noticed she was matching from head to toe with her decor but didn’t quite know how to process all of […]
A DIY Jessie Toy Story Party on a Budget :: PREPARATION
A Jessie Toy Story Party… On a budget. What the prep!?!? Not too long ago (okay, a million years ago… we were a little behind with this post), Little Mama turned into the not-so-little 5 year old she always dreamed of becoming. Even as a 3 year old, she kept talking about turning 5 and […]
