Little Life Tips

[Lola Step]

Contrary to what this title may suggest this is NOT a thread about how to 'be a little', I'm aiming it to be more of like a life hacks for littles kinda thing where everybody just chimes in with random hints or tips they find handy, I'll get the ball rolling with 2 of mine-

1) Always color from left to right (or right to left if your left handed) when coloring with markers so your hand doesn't get dirty.

2) Small dog outfits make great outfits for bipedal (four legged animal) stuffies.

i love the idea of this!!! 

 

1. if your stuffie gets wet, scrub the spot with dish soap & water before blow drying it gently!

it works better than a tumble-dry for spot cleaning!

2. similarly, blow drying your stuffies while brushing them to keep them soft & fluffy! 

3. invest in a bottle brush for your sippies! life. changing. 

4. check the frozen aisle for yummy & cute veggie ideas that might go over better during dinner time! 

5. the library is your best friend! it's a non-judgmental, no money required way to rent 

kids video games, kids movies, & kids books!

if i think of more, i'll add them!

1) you can take your bears to build a bear to be re stuffed and fluffed for free! You can also use their air bath to clean em!

2) If you dont have a brush for your sippies, fill them with uncooked rice and soapy water then shake em until clean!

3) if you made a mess with art supplies clean the table off with shavung cream! Its fun to play with and cleans off kids paint and markers!

i miss this thread, so i'm bringin' it back! 

 

1. kidfresh is a great frozen food company that makes yummy kids foods with hidden veggies!

2. the dollartree is great for little babies on a budget. 

3. celebrate the holidays like a kid again! organize an easter egg hunt, send out valentines, bake cookies & write santa a letter!

4. store your little stuff in to-go bags (i like the little napsacks from Build-A-Bear) so that you've got a bag to grab when you need to go! 

5. always keep an emergency stuffed animal in the car -- i recently went into an emergency surgery & i had a stuffed animal in the car to cuddle with.

1. Be happy with yourself even if you are single. Don't let being single define who you are.

2. Have snacks that make you feel little around.

3. Take a moment to smile and laugh at something even if it is trivial.

4.  Try to have a set bed-time that lets you have at least 6-8 hours of sleep.

1. Always try to find time for yourself, even if you can't do it every day that's fine. Make me time whenever your life will allow it.

2. Try new food & snacks, it's an adventure! When I'm little I'm super picky with food and think new food is yukie. Big and little kids need a balanced diet.

3. Clean your sippy cups, pacis and babas. No one likes feeling yukie from grems.

4. Its okay if you're single and/or don't have a caregiver. You're still valid as a person even if you don't have a caregiver. You're still valid as a person if you are single/want to be single.

1. always find a way to carve out five minutes of your day for yourself, like was said above! little things like walking a lap around your office, doing a few stretches at your desk, or putting on lotion help! 
2. everything tastes better when cut up smaller. 
3. make a little care kit in a small backpack so you've got your small stuff on the go! 
4. make a car playlist of small songs for when you're driving home from work, and a lullaby playlist for sleeps!

I'll give this a go too:D

 

1. You can make your own colouring books by printing off colouring pages online and putting them in a duotang

2.When frustrated, talk to your stuffies (cuz they can't tell you you're wrong;P)

3.feel bad for the ones that look at you funny when you act littlish cuz they're not having as much fun as you

4.Listen to Christina Perri's new lullaby album cuz it's adorableness to the max

5.Keep a journal/write stories while in little space cuz, again, adorableness

6.Remember that your littleness is your own and no one else should decide how you should act or feel as a little. If you feel like you have a certain little age, that's good, but if you feel that you don't that is 100% just as fine too. Never let anyone tell you you're not a little just because you don't fit into a certain category or don't do certain things, and you should never try to change who you are, as a little or otherwise, for anyone, cuz the most important people in our lives are the ones who accept us for who we are
