Spring KitchenAid Mixer Giveaway

How I learned to cook, along with a KitchenAid Mixer Giveaway!

kitchenaid-mixer-giveaway

I started cooking when I was pretty young.  Some of you may have memories of learning to cook by your mom’s side, as she explained the processes, but my experience was quite different from that.  You see, when I was maybe 10 years old, my mom ended up having to have back surgery.

My poor mom was stuck on the couch for weeks before the surgery, and then several more weeks after the surgery.  My dad worked full time (and often overtime), so my sister and I got a crash course in cooking and doing laundry, with my mom on the couch hollering her answers to our questions.  I learned how to cook and do laundry standing on a chair, because I was too short to do either yet!

I found that baking was something that I loved much more than cooking dinner, so I started baking a lot.  And it’s still something that I love doing, as you can see from my recipes for Fresh Strawberry Bars, Raspberry Muffins, Lemon Donuts, and Chocolate Chip Cranberry Cream Cheese Muffins!

When my husband and I were registering for our wedding, I registered for a KitchenAid Mixer.  I didn’t get it, but I started adding up things I wouldn’t mind taking back until I got enough returns to be able to afford my KitchenAid mixer– that’s how much I love them!

If you don’t already have a KitchenAid mixer, this giveaway will be perfect for you!  But even if you already DO have one, you could give it away as a gift!  Wedding season is coming up soon, and you could be the amazing person who makes it so some newly married couple doesn’t have to tally up returns in order to stock their kitchen with a brand new KitchenAid mixer!

My Favorite Kids Shows on Amazon Prime

Find out My Favorite Kids Shows on Amazon Prime, so you know what to watch!

Check out My Favorite Kids Shows on Amazon Prime, so your kids can spend more time watching great shows and you can spend less time looking for them!
We don’t do a lot of screen time for our kids.  While they do have Kindles, they usually only use them about once a week.  Sometimes even less than that.  And TV time is even less. We moved our TV out of the main room and into the playroom, and it’s true what they say about out of sight, out of mind.

However, there are definitely times when I need to put on a movie or TV show to get something done.  We also enjoy watching a movie as a family sometimes.

Since I’m sure I’m not the only one who can spend more time looking for a show to watch on Amazon Prime than actually watching the show, I thought it might help some other Mamas out if I put together some of my favorite kid’s shows on Amazon Prime.

***It goes without saying that the shows on Amazon Prime may go from free to paid at any moment, so please make sure to check before watching, so you don’t end up paying for a show you were expecting to be free.***

***I also want to disclose to you that all of these links are my affiliate links.  The shows will still be free to you, but if you use my affiliate links, it helps this blog out, so I appreciate it greatly!***

If you have Amazon Prime, these are all free to watch with your membership.  If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can always sign up for a free 30-day trial to see if it works for you!

My ultimate favorite kid’s show on Amazon Prime is Shawn the Sheep.  If you’ve never seen it, it was made by the creators of Wallace and Gromit (which I loved as a young teen), and it’s hilarious.  Shawn the Sheep is entertaining for adults as well as kids.  There is no talking, which might sound like it would be boring, but it’s definitely not.  If you’ve seen the movie, I didn’t love that as much as the shows.  The movie was okay, but the shows are wonderful.

Another favorite kid’s show is Wild Kratts.  My kids love learning about animals from Chris and Martin, in their silly adventures.

We recently started watching Popular Mechanics for Kids, and that has been a fun series.  It delves into how things work, and we’ve all learned a lot.  Just a few of the many things they teach about is the sewer, submarines, special effects, and roller coasters.

My littlest loves Daniel Tiger, which is basically a spin off from Mr. Roger’s.  Daniel Tiger is a cartoon character who faces problems and learns from them.

dora-and-diego

Dora and Go Diego Go have both been popular with my kids.  Dora is geared more towards the younger child, and focuses on repeating, learning numbers and letters, feelings and colors, and other preschool age skills.  Diego is Dora’s older cousin, and the show is more about science and animals.

Finally, Fireman Sam is another show my kids love.  It’s about a small town and the problems that arise, that sometimes require heroic action.  I love that the town bands together to help one another.  My kids love that there is a naughty boy on it that’s always doing something wild and getting into trouble.  It’s actually a little bit cheesy and slow paced, and I didn’t think my kids would like it, but they surprised me by loving it!

I hope this list of my favorite kids shows on Amazon Prime is helpful to you!  These are all shows that I enjoy watching with my kids, but that I know I can let them watch without me.
