The second part of Bluey Season 3 just dropped, and my family binge-watched them all. The funniest by far was Granny Mobile! The girls are playing "Grannies" with Muffin, who is playing a grouchy granny. They wind up at a garage sale, and Muffin's encounter with a real grouchy granny is priceless! It's the funniest video I've watched this week.

Looking for an easy breakfast, but "cereal" is off the table because transporting a gallon of milk on the long drive is problematic? Try bagels and cream cheese. There are many fresh and frozen options of bagels, many flavors of cream cheese, and a number of options to kick it up a bit -- peanut butter, strawberry or banana slices, lox, etc.

Junie B. Jones is a kindergartner who means well, but has a little trouble with self-control (I can relate, and so can both of my kids). The books are short, sweet, laugh-out-loud, and carry positive messages, as Junie B. always (eventually) does the right thing to clean up her messes.

Looking for something wintery that doesn't have a talking snowman? While you should probably preface this movie with a warning about language that was appropriate in the 1980s, this story of misfits and meanies who come together as a team is charming, heartwarming, and lasting.

While many of the themes may go over your kids' heads, this G-rated musical featuring a gaggle of children was a pleaser in our family. The second act may be a little long, but we have re-watched the first half to great success. Bonus - this movie provides the gentlest-possible introduction to the concept of World War II and the Nazis, which will surely be topics of conversation in your future.

Who doesn't love starting a chilly December morning with a steaming cup of nicely-flavored coffee? Get 24 different flavors of java to get up when the temperatures start to get down.

I realize that this is kind of a cop out -- buying pre-made cookies and frosting with pre-packaged candies, then encouraging your kids to put the candies on on the cookies and not in their mouths. This puts the semi-homemade into homecrafts, and for the past two years, my kids have had an absolute blast decorating turkeys with their cousins!

The episode starts with the Heelers coming home with a to-be-assembled furniture item (do they have Ikea in Australia?) While the parents assemble this in the background, making familiar assembly mistakes, Bluey and Bingo play with the packing material in a way that explores the evolution of life on Earth, gives insight in what it means to be a parent, and reveals the meaning of life. This might be the finest 6 minutes of film ever made!
