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!

Sometimes that works out well….other times it just turns into a huge mess. Universities that are online offer design classes for those [...]
We started out with these giant coffee filter things. (According to the Discount School Supply website they’re called Texas Snowflakes. I only had one, so this is cut into quarters). We used some washable markers. Then we sprayed water on it, and sprayed some more. (the spraying action is great for increasing manual dexterity!) Though [...]
I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend! The weather was beautiful here. The kids and I walked up the road and watched our town’s Memorial Day parade. BugBuddy and I had fun, but I think it may have been too much excitement for SweetPea (that’s a whole ‘nother post!). This morning I realized [...]
Why, we made them of course! And you can too. You may remember making these Peeping Chicks when you were younger. Need me to do a rundown anyway? Sure, here you go: construction paper, color of your choice (for egg) brass fasteners yellow construction paper (for your chick) white & blue construction paper (optional - for [...]
