“Snowmen at Night” by Caralyn Buehner is a hysterical book about snowmen that your Nanny Kids will want to reread over and over again. In “Snowmen at Night” while the children sleep, the snowmen the kids made during the day come to life. The snowmen have tons of winter fun including ice-skating on a pond, […]
My former Mom Boss found this stew recipe on the spruceeats web site. This one-pot stew of pork and potatoes (cartofi cu carne de porc) is an easy-yet-hearty recipe to whip up the night before and allow to flavor overnight. It’s also just as good eaten the day it’s made. It’s even a good candidate […]
Children love making and giving holiday cards. Their friends and family love receiving the handmade tokens of love as well. I helped a seven-year-old I care for make Christmas cards using buttons this year. We made Christmas tree shapes but you can make snowmen, candy canes, or any holiday shape the child wants to create.

Your Nanny Family doesn’t have to celebrate Hanukkah to enjoy reading “Meet the Latkes” by Alan Silberberg and then share in making and eating latkes. When reading “Meet the Latkes” get ready for some wacky good fun with the Latke family of potato pancakes. Lucy Latke’s family is just like yours or mine. Except that […]
I found this great turkey meatloaf recipe on the spruceeats web site. The recipe suggests using a little ground pork keeps this meatloaf juicy, but feel free to use part ground turkey thighs instead. Turkey thighs or the ground pork have a higher fat content and will keep the loaf from drying out and becoming […]
