The other day I was headed to work, and needed a project to keep my little one occupied (she comes to work with me). We have A LOT of snow outside – in fact, this was a picture from a storm that we had a few weeks ago that dumped three feet of snow in [...]
My little one (who will be 4 in just over a month!) loves paints. L-O-V-E-S them. Me? I don’t always love the mess that comes with painting, but it keeps her happy…..so I have to remind myself that it’s not a big deal to let her do it once in a while. Today, we (somewhat [...]
I updated my Crossbow Eye-Level Reading Ruler Review just now because we came across another way that it helps us. My son is doing a latch-hook project (of a dog ~ his FAVORITE type of animal), and the pattern is a giant pain to follow. It has row-upon-row of symbols representing the different colored pieces [...]
We’re starting our Resurrection Eggs today, and we’re pretty excited about it! In my Sunday School class this past Sunday, I had the kiddos prepare the Resurrection Eggs so they could do them with their families this week. I researched the heck out of Resurrection Eggs, trying to find the “just right” combination of items, [...]
You may have seen my Wordless Wednesday pic yesterday of our Snowman Fridge. With the whole point of a Wordless Wednesday being….well…wordless, I didn’t mention that I saw the idea a few months back on the Unit Studies by Amanda Bennett Facebook page. I also didn’t mention that we’ve had said snowman on our fridge [...]
I love homemade Valentine’s day gifts! A couple of years back my son (who was probably 4 or 5 at the time) and I made a sweet gift for my husband that he LOVED receiving from us. We wrapped a tissue box with regular printer paper and wrote “How much do I love you? Let [...]
We love crafts in our home, and I especially love footprint/handprint crafts that sort of freeze a moment in time for us with these little ones growing so quickly! We found instructions for a Foot and Hand Print Angel Craft that we then modified a bit to make these cute ornaments: \\ This post is [...]
It’s pretty easy to get caught up in the general groaning and grumblings each day, isn’t it? The wails of “it’s not FAIR!!” (from the kids and from Mommy….erm…ahem), and the “I want THIS; I want THAT! I need MOOOOOOORRRRRRE!” In the past, I’ve found that keeping a Gratitude Journal has really helped me with [...]
Do you ever find yourself in a rut, trying to figure out something to do with the kiddos? I’m talking about the free or inexpensive kind of fun that you don’t have to leave the house for? The kids and I have to go to work 3 days out of the week, so on our [...]
