Need something to do with cooped up kids? Kerri suggests a bubble bath … a great idea that is usually forgotten. We use it at the end of the day. Our girls get in together, and will typically give us at least 30 minutes to catch up on everything they have pulled […]
I have been taking a class on healthy cooking/eating and we made “pizzas” with tortillas. I tried it with my girls, and they loved it. It is so simple, and delicious, and great even for finicky eaters because everyone can make their pizza their way. Anna, only 2 years old, was even able to participate. […]
I am submitting an application for Emily to enter Kindergarten next year, for now we have decided on the private school with our church. You know what I found interesting? They are going to test her on colors, shapes, letters, and numbers. She has to be able to write her first and […]
My favorite distraction in the evenings for my kids is to turn on a C.D. and dance around the kitchen with them while I am cooking dinner. So, I decided to make a C.D. for Emily, with all of these upbeat songs that we could dance around to. Some Christian songs we both like, […]
The other night my hubby was not at home and the kids and I were getting frustrated with each other. They were bored and I needed some down time. My kids love to ride. You have heard of driving a crying baby around in the car; well, my five year old and 21 month old […]

I got this great idea from BeBestages, which is an adorable moms site. Finally a way to use all of those broken crayon pieces! Using your broken crayons you can create these round crayons pictured. I find that they are really great for small toddlers, like my 20 month old, because they can grip them […]
While it is Anna’s first memory of going to the mountains on a pumpkin patch hunt, Emily has several years of this memory. We go to the mountains every year, stop at an Apple house, and pick up some Apple Fritters. We then find our way to a corn maze, pumpkin patch, and/or […]
I was reminded today by Rookie Mom’s to check out the zoo. I know, I know, nothing new right? But, how long has it been since you checked it out? I realized my daughter is 19 months old and never been! When Emily was 2 (she is 5 now), we had a 1 year membership […]
This week, I have found a very beautiful site. It is a blog about the life of an Irish craft worker. She is obviously very talented in her crafts, and very creative. I loved her one post about taking her children to the shores to witness a sperm whale who had washed ashore. The pictures […]
